Comfort is comforting, but it might narrow our experience at work — and beyond.
In our modern world, discomfort is considered a terrible thing. If not terrible, at least a thing of the past. Dishwashers, washing machines, computers, remote controls—yes, they add convenience, but also a level of comfort our forefathers did not enjoy.
As pain of any kind discourages happiness, we tend to reason, anything that compromises our ability to feel good must be bad. And that’s also particularly true for our careers. Success makes us feel great, not terrible. Such a view, however, is a matter of personal opinion. And it may blind us to hidden opportunities.
Artists throughout history have tried to experience suffering, instinctively if not consciously, to produce works that explore the darker hidden sides of the human condition. This was done, in part, because pain is a reality of life for everybody in some form at some time. Pain is something everybody can relate to. And pain makes a person very present. For such artists, to relieve or to deny pain would be to block the creative thinking, which drives them to explore and express. In fact, Germans have a term for this melancholia, “Weltschmerz”, which means “suffering from the world.” Writers, from Lord Byron to Kurt Vonnegut, have used the term to describe the psychological pain encountered along life’s roller-coaster journey. It was not to be avoided; it was to be understood, investigated and employed.
So I propose that discomfort is good for us. Or, put another way, it tells us that something needs to be addressed. It stretches us by forcing us to view our circumstances through a wholly different lens. Because we’re drawn to safety and security, we do our best to create pleasant comfort zones for ourselves and our loved ones through the cars we drive, the homes we live in, and the places we work. But by resisting discomfort, we deny ourselves an important opportunity: the chance to shake ourselves out of our predictable perspectives and allow ourselves to make knowledgeable observations we could not possibly have made before. Discomfort gives us fresh eyes.
1.Which of the following is NOT a reason why artists throughout history have been exploring sufferings?
A. Pain is a mirror that can reflect the life of everybody.
B. Pain is something that no one can escape from.
C. Pain can help them to avoid the creative thinking.
D. Pain can strengthen the feeling of existence of a person.
2.The term “Weltschmerz” couldn’t be used to describe something like __________.
A. social inequality B. mass killings
C. racial discrimination D. great achievements
3.The author believes that by challenging discomfort, one may _________.
A. lose an important chance to make a big fortune
B. feel upset and fail to think calmly
C. judge and think about the world in a new particular way
D. control the situation properly when things go unsteady
4.By writing this passage, the author tries to __________.
A. criticize a world full of comfort
B. explain why discomfort is good for us
C. persuade people to lead a life full of discomfort
D. blame those who enjoy an easy life

We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward.
Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?
It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?
But it isn’t just people from cultures that emphasize a reservedness in expressing physical intimacy(親密) who find hugging confusing. Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture — “more physically demonstrative than Japan, where a bow is the all-purpose hello and goodbye, but less demonstrative than Latin or Eastern European cultures, where hugs are strong and can include a kiss on both cheeks”, Americans do seem to be hugging more.
From politicians to celebrities, hugs are given willy-nilly to friends, strangers and enemies alike; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice. Public figures know that nothing projects like the ability as a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England, on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.
But not all are grateful to be embraced, even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive if it’s not sincere.
Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance over those in their grasp.
Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.
1.From the first four paragraphs, we can see that ___________.
A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug
B. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging
C. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness
D. hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly
2.The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________.
A. Americans hold a “medium touch ”culture
B. public figures know hugging functions well in public
C. she is much liked by American people
D. hugs are forbidden in England
3.“Power-hugging” in the last paragraph actually means that _________.
A. hugs are only used sincerely by some people with power
B. hugging is powerful to bosses in US
C. public figures sometimes use hugging just for a show of power
D. public figures can hug anyone in their grasp freely
4.What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Hugs, vital or not? B. Hugs, tricky affair?
C. Hugs and public figures D. Hugs and power
