In one of my first classes, the head trainer told us a story.He began by drawing 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 the question, Can anyone tell me what this is？In a long silence, one guy decided to speak out, The world? The trainer said, Thats close. Actually, this is your Comfort Area. Inside your circle, you feel very comfortable. You have all the things that are important to 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？A strong silence came over the room. At last, the same guy started, You are afraid. Another guy said, You make mistakes. The silence continued and the trainer smiled and said, When you make mistakes, what can the result be? The first guy shouted, You learn something. Quite right, you are learning. The trainer turned to the board and drew an arrow（箭头）pointing from the man to the outside of the circle. He continued to say, When you leave your Comfort Area you put yourself out there, in front of the world to be in situations that you are not comfortable with. The end result is that you have learned something that you did not know and you slowly become a better person. He turned again to the board and drew a bigger circle around the first one, and added a few new things like more friends, a bigger house, etc.The moral of the story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Area, you will never be able to expand your horizons（开阔视野）and learn. When you step out of your Comfort Area you will finally make your circle bigger and your mind grow stronger, and all in all a better person. （1）According to the passage, the Comfort Area is like . A . a house which can offer us presentsB . a beautiful garden where we can stay insideC . a place where we can lead a comfortable lifeD . a group of people who can offer us pleasure（2）If we step out of the first circle, we may . A . have fewer friendsB . be more afraid to talkC . learn something moreD . feel safer and happier（3）The final drawing on the board might be . A . B . C . D . （4）The authors purpose for the passage is to . A . build up our interpersonal skillsB . make us work better as a teamC . provide us some working activitiesD . encourage us to step out for a better world14. （10分） Look at the center circles of Diagram (图) A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger?Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact , they are exactly the same size.Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase ? Or two faces?Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.Whats happening? Is something wrong with my eyes? You may wonder at what you see. Dont worry. Here is how it goes:When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解读) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it Visual illusion (视觉错误).Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.（1）The centre circle in Diagram A looks smaller than that in Diagram B. Thats because.A . something is wrong with our eyesB . the two circles are not the same sizeC . our brains interpret the information in a wrong wayD . the two pictures change quickly from one to the other（2）Whats the right order according to the passage?a. We look at things with our eyes. b. Our brains interpret the messages.c. Our brains tell us what we have seen.d. Our eyes send messages to our brains.A . adbcB . cabdC . acdbD . bcad（3）Movie makers make use of visual illusions to.A . help the actors look betterB . make the actors much braverC . help the actors become strongerD . make the actors seem different in size（4）In the picture on the right, it seems that Line AB is shorter than Line CD, but in fact Line AB is as long as Line CD.
