In my math class, Mr. Black drew a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house a car and a few friends inside the circle.

He asked us, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” Jack said, “The world?” Mr. Black said, “That’s close. This is your Comfort Zone (舒適區(qū)域). Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you—your home, your family, your friends, and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger. Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?”

Mr. Black then drew an arrow (箭頭) pointing from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you leave your Comfort Zone, you will face the world that you are not comfortable with. The result is that you will learn something that you do not know and gain (獲得) more than what you have.” He then drew a bigger circle around the first circle, and added a few new things like more friends, etc, into it.

The story tells us that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone, you will never be able to learn more. When you go out of your Comfort Zone, perhaps you will be afraid, challenge (挑戰(zhàn)) your mind and grow to be stronger, and so become a better person.

A. You will have a big house.

B. You will make more money in your work.

C. You will learn everything that you don’t know.

D. You will face the world that you are not comfortable with.

5.Why should you go out of your Comfort Zone?

My bedroom used to be a mess. There were tan many things. I had so many books I never read and CDS I didn’t listen to. My drawers (抽屜) were f1. with clothes I never wore. I was getting upset that I didn’t have any s2. in my bedroom. Then I read about minimalism (簡約主義). Minimalism is a style of living where you only keep the most important things and you t3.away everything else. After a careful reading. I felt encouraged to solve my problem.

Minimalism suggests that you should only keep the essentials (必需品) for living. So I started clearing out a lot of things which I didn’t u4.. I collected bags of clothes to give to anyone who needed them. I sold some of my CDs and books online

Although I knew that I would never need these things again, I still found it very d5.to throw them away. My brain tried to stop me f6.letting them go. I said to myself “I might need that in the f7.!” or “Won't I be sad if I throw that away?” But the thing is, I know I couldn’t keep everything.

As clearing out for a month, I found it quite exciting to throw things away and create some space. H8., it’s not easy to be a minimalist. We are often told that it is better to have more things. I still own a lot of things which I don’t really n9.. In the future, I will be c10.about what I buy. And I will continue to make an effort to throw away what I don’t need.
