Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves， or even， we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes thats true but its a pity if we always stay with the same people， the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions， the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new， find out interesting things， hear funny stories and discover differences.When we always stay with the same people， how can we break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance(无知)? If you want to live in a society that opens to changes， new things and different opinions， be the cat among the pigeons(鸽子).Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And dont just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. Thats how we make friends. Thats how we learn about people. Thats how we open our minds to new ideas. Thats how we live an exciting life.（1）From the passage， we know that people prefer sitting by someone who .A . is like themselvesB . has a sense of humorC . is open-mindedD . lives an exciting life（2）People like staying in their comfort zone because they may .A . remain comfortable and specialB . find out more interesting thingsC . be accepted easily and feel safeD . discover differences among themselves（3）The sentence “Unsurprisingly ， we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves.” should beput at the beginning of _.A .
