When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldnt fall asleep. He still couldnt think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didnt know himself. As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog. “Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santas sled(雪橇)?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isnt it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, isnt flying what reindeer are famous for?”“Not me, Im afraid. It makes me scared. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santas sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. Im afraid I just wasnt cut out for the job. Now Im stuck here and I dont know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny.

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 themselves B. has a sense of humor C. is open-minded D. lives an exciting life2. People like staying in their comfort zone because they may . A. remain comfortable and special B. find out more interesting things C. be accepted easily and feel safe D. discover differences among themselves3.

What does the underlined word “barriers” mean in Paragraph 4? A. 联系 B. 隔阂 C. 纽带 D. 熟悉5. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To tell us not to talk with strangers. B. To introduce ways to learn about the world. C. To explain how people communicate with foreigners. D. To encourage us to get along with different people.【答案】1.A 2.C 3.C 4.B 5.D六Mr. Smith was in trouble those days. He drove a car for Mr. Black, a rich businessman.
