Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒適區(qū))is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.?
When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (無(wú)知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏見(jiàn)) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.
【小題1】From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who

A.is like themselves
B.has a sense of humor?
C.is open-minded
D.lives an exciting life
【小題2】People like staying in their comfort zone because they may
A. remain comfortable and special
B. be accepted easily and feel safe
C. find out more interesting things
D.discover differences among themselves
【小題3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.
B.To introduce ways to learn about the world.
C.To explain how people communicate with others.
D.To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.

It seems that many young people still think that smoking is cool. There are many reasons for this, for example, films.Many actors smoke in films and this can lead the young to think that smoking can be cool. But now, top actors and actresses are refusing the movies in which they are asked to smoke. So hopefully, the "cool" factor(因素) will become much smaller.
Many young people believe that smoking makes them look cool. It’s probably true that smoking helps them look older. Doctors say that not only sugar and alcohol(酒) but also smoking is bad for your skin(皮膚). Do you really want to see wrinkles(皺紋) on your face at a young age? Do you really think that smoking will make you as cool as you think ?  Do you really believe that he or she will like someone that smells like a factory? This is simply a bad idea.
Besides causing cancer(癌癥), smoking will make you ugly and sad. So, boys and girls, forget about smoking! Don’t ever start. If you are smoking, give it up as quickly as you can. Why not lead a healthy life without smoking?

To me, music is food and water. I can’t live without it. I know this is not true for everybody. Many people don’t listen to music and they can get along quite well.

I do promise to work hard later on, Amen." My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

Today sending text messages(短信) through mobile phone(手機(jī)) is a part of our lives. According to a survey(調(diào)查), a third of the U.S. children send more than 100 text messages a day.
