5 Reasons Change Is Good for You
We all know that change is hard because your brain is used to doing the same thing over and over again. 【1】 But the positive consequence is really great. Here are five reasons why change is good for you:
【2】
Life in the comfort zone is easy. You simply follow a routine and you can predict the consequences. Outside of the comfort zone, your assumptions are challenged. The idea of doing the same thing over and over without question is discouraged.
You get to experience more.
【3】 When you look back on your life, all of the really amazing things are because of a new experience you had. All of those vacations you took and all of the people you have met have taught you more than you ever learned in school. These experiences now make up who you are today.
You’ll be more flexible and adaptable.
Without doubt, change makes your more flexible and adaptable. You learn to deal with things in a way that seems foreign but acceptable and achievable. 【4】You begin to thrive(兴旺) in new situations because you have proven to yourself that you can, not only handle change, but FLOURISH.
You have more fun.
When you are open to change, you are open to saying YES to more. You are open to more experiences and opportunities. 【5】 When you add all of these things together, you are going to have a more colorful life and you’ll have a ton of fun figuring it all out
A. You are pushed out of your comfort zone.
B. Experience is waiting for you at the doorstep.
C. You have the opportunity to meet more people too.
D. Whether the change is good or bad for you, it does happen.
E. We also know how challenging it can be to go through change.
F. Then, you’ll be more confident when in the next uncomfortable situation.
G. Change is good because you have the chance to involve in new experiences.

【题目】阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
It was 7:30 in the morning. As usual I was on the subway to school. It was so crowded with people that it felt like the air conditioner wasn't working. I was standing there looking around. Then, I saw an old lady get on the train with a 7-year-old child who seemed to be her grandson.
A warm-hearted gentleman generously offered his seat to the old lady. Instead of sitting down herself, however, the old lady called her grandson over and told him to sit.
Sooner or later, children mature and step into the complicated world. Love is necessary in the early development of children, yet, to the disappointment of many, too much love definitely prevents children from learning the rules of the real world. Teaching the child about the rules of society within the family helps the child to achieve success later. By giving up seats to their children, grandparents may destroy kids' best chance for character development.

【题目】My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
【1】Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?
A. He got an older model than he had expected.
B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.
C. He could have bought it at a lower price.
D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.
【2】Which of the following can best replace the phrase” signed off” in Paragraph 1?
A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels
C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies
【3】How did the author finally get his TV set working again?
A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.
C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.
【4】How does the author sound when telling the story?
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Cautious. D. Humorous.
