(2022·云南昆明·一模)Ways to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
There’s not a lot of room for adventure and excitement in your comfort zone. To add a little excitement to your life, it’s important to try new and sometimes scary things. ____11____, facing unfamiliar challenges can make you happier and more fulfilled in the long run.
●____12____.
Think about a few things that scare you or make you nervous. Write them down in a list, and put a star next to the one you want to start with. You can handle the others later Rather than just thinking about it, coming up with specific ideas forces you to put these plans in motion.
●Turn every day into a learning experience.
____13____. Look at each day as a chance for you to learn something new. This can only happen if you’re stepping outside your comfort zone. You can do this by always making an effort to find ways to grow. You never know what you’ll learn about the world when you explore different sides of it!
●Think positively to overcome fear.
Regard challenges as chances to grow. The biggest barrier keeping you from stepping out of your comfort zone is fear, especially fear of failure. ____14____, just think of stepping outside your comfort zone as opportunities. You may be right around the corner from changing your life for the better.
●Turn to your friends for some added support.
Doing something new alone can be even more challenging. There’s no reason you can’t rely on friends or family to help you get out of your comfort zone! Pick someone who’s naturally adventurous to be your partner in trying new experiences. ____15____
A.Pick challenging activities
B.Do some research to get more information
C.Change the way you view your day-to-day life
D.Instead of focusing on the possibility of failure
E.Unless you’ve stepped out of your comfort zone
F.Though getting outside of your comfortable box may be tough at first
G.They can make you feel more comfortable exploring the unfamiliar field

(2022·河南·模拟预测)Whether we’re making small talk with a waiter, or meeting up with a close friend, we may hope to make a connection, only to leave the conversation feeling that our minds have failed to meet. ___16___.
Ask questions
If you want to have a meaningful dialogue with someone, then you should make the effort to ask some questions. ___17___. A follow-up that requires more information about a previous point is more appealing than a “switch” that changes topic, or a “mirror” that simply copies what someone has already asked you.
Be cautious about empathy(同理心)
We are often told to place ourselves in other people’s shoes. But our empathy is rarely as accurate as we think it is. ___18___. “It’s when I’m using my own experience, my own mental states, as a representative of yours,” says Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioural science. “And we fail to differentiate sufficiently between the two.” In general, it’s far better to ask someone what they actually think and feel than trying to guess it.
Favor familiarity over originality
___19___ The drawback of novelty arises from the “informational gaps” in our conversation. If we are talking about something completely new, our audience may not have enough knowledge to understand everything that we are saying. If we are talking about something already familiar to our audience, however, the listeners can fill in those gaps themselves.
Don't be afraid to go deep
This need for common ground should not limit our conversation to dull small talk. ___20___. And most people appreciate the chance to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings, even if they are talking to perfect strangers.
When practicing each of these steps, you should always remain conscious of the other person’s mood and comfort. With a little strategy, sensitivity and a genuine interest in the people around you, you may often find that greater social connection is easily within your reach.
A.One reason for this is being self-centered
B.But not all questions are equally appealing
C.If this rings true for you, help may be at hand
D.How about our choices for the topic of conversation
E.That will make us become a considerate and sympathetic person
F.Why do people tend to talk with each other about the things they both like
G.On the contrary, many shared human experiences can be incredibly meaningful

(2022·江苏连云港·二模)In 2013, digital media consultant Baratunde Thurston launched an experiment. He decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days: no Facebook, no Twitter, not even e-mail. He needed the break. ____21____
It didn’t take him long to adjust to a disconnected life. By the end of that first week, he was less stressed about not knowing new things. ____22____ He enjoyed food without Twittering the experience. But the end came too soon. After the twenty-five days. he had to restore his online presence.
His experiment summarizes two important points about our relationship with social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools fragment (碎裂) our time and reduce our ability to concentrate. ____23____ But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.
To fight back against these distractions, Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet altogether. But the problem is that no one is meant to actually follow Thurston’s lead. ____24____ That is to accept our current distracted state as unavoidable. This brings me to the second point summarized by Thurston’s story: it didn’t take him long once the experiment ended to slide back into the fragmented
state where he began.
This rule proposes a third option: accepting that these tools might be vital to your success and happiness, but meanwhile accepting that most people should be using fewer such tools. I won’t ask you, in other words, to quit the Internet altogether like Thurston did. ____25____ There is a middle ground, and if you’re to develop a deep work habit, you must fight to get there.
A.He struck up conversations with strangers.
B.It is a real problem for many different people.
C.“I was burnt out, fried, and done,” he explained.
D.This reality accounts for the remaining alternative.
E.He had to return to the online world with books to market.
F.But I’ll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness.
G.Fortunately, you will break the habit of surfing the Internet gradually.

Be sympathetic.
____38____It could be that they were judged themselves by parents, family, or friends, in which case this person’s critical attitude would be something they learned.

Thank you for sharing.”
Ask for clarification.
