Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. 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 attitude 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 that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to 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 about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.?
When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.

Earthquakes happen without warning (前兆). They can happen at any time of a day, at any point during the year. But don't worry because most of them are very weak and only a few big ones hurt people. When an earthquake is happening, you should know what to do and what not to do.
Do NOT go outside immediately. You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings. If you are outside, stay away from buildings and power lines (输电线). Stay under a desk, table, or other strong furniture. Hold on to it. Or stay in a comer of the building. Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing. Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.

Learn to Refuse
Believe it or not, I’ve always been a people pleaser. I often put others before myself because I want to make my friends happy.1..
“Can you help me with my English?” Grace asked me on the first day after she became my desk mate. “Of course,” I replied without hesitation(犹豫). Grace has been working really hard on her studies and needed my help — although I didn’t have much time left for her.
One day after school, while I was doing a huge amount of homework, Grace’s phone call came. 2., but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, the clock said it was 00:15 am. But I still had homework left and I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a Junior 3 student who is going to take an important exam this June.
Finally I burst into tears. I felt so tired and realized that the stress had an effect on
my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things,3. . It’s now important for me to say no, no, no. “Can you do me a favor?” Grace asked last Monday. “Sorry I just have to review my biology notes,” I answered. “All right, it’s up to you,” she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply.4.
To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to refuse. I have more time to spend on my study at present. I still try my best to help others,5. .
A.She complained a lot and it made me feel bored
B.If anyone asks me for help, I always say, “yes!”
C.Anyway, it’s not so hard to say no at all
D.but sometimes I say no because I know everyone has a limit
E.so Grace has to come the second
