• 3．One of the statements that many experts seem to agree on is the fact that the great things starts to happen the minute you step outside of your comfort zones.As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe，the possibilities are endless.For me，one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort can't coexist.
     Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said： "Whatever the mind can understand and believe，the mind can achieve.Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty（崇高的） your aims and hopes may be." This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go.However，stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change.
     For a long time，I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina，so halfway through my bachelor's degree，I bought a one-way ticket there.While in Argentina，I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation.I currently still live in Argentina，and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done.
     This，of course，by no means at all applies to everyone，and I'm not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens.But it's important to know that we should recognize what we desire and try to bring our dreams to life.
     Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when，in reality，we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do.So why wait？I'm thankful that I didn't put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person.If we want to experience even a small amount of change，we will have to step outside of it.
  
  （1）Why do people prefer staying in comfort zone？

  
  A．It makes people feel safe.
  B．It leads to great things.
  C．It is important for growth.
  D．It helps make wise decisions.
  （2）What does Napoleon Hill's statement mean？

  
  A．Time and tide wait for no man.
  B．The higher you fly，the harder you fail.
  C．Failure is the mother of success.
  D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
  （3）The author used his/her story to

  .
  A．persuade others to follow his/her example
  B．encourage others to take immediate action
  C．inform people of different foreign culture
  D．remind people to be thankful in life
  （4）Which one could be the best title？

  
  A．Identify your comfort zone.
  B．Value your precious time.
  C．Always try something new.
  D．Make the best decisions.
