Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO's Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene fuel indoors.

Comfort zone is the mental place surrounded by borders in our mind where we feel secure.Even though this comfort area and its boundaries are just a state of mind that has nothing to do with reality,it plays a huge role in the progress of our development.Since the comfort zone is limited,there is not much benefit for you inside your comfort zone.Nothing new will happen until you open yourself and leave your comfort zone.

Even though your background may be affecting your present situation,what really matters is not where you were born,your skin color,race,age,gender,religion,government,or even the poor environment in which you have been living for so many years,but what really matters and makes a big difference in your life is your attitude,to understand your comfort zone,how you limit yourself within it,who you are,why you behave the way you do it,and mainly where you are going.

Sadly many people don’t go anywhere because they stay within their comfort zone.They accept defeat after defeat before even trying or knowing how capable or valuable they really are.These circumstances are not the cause of our actual situation but the conformism (因循守舊) and the poverty of our thoughts and therefore the weakness of our broken spirit. Leave your past behind;constantly transcend (超越) your comfort zone!Your past within this comfort zone is nothing but a wasted load that you don’t need to carry at all.

Take constant action as many times as it is required and never,never quit. As Napoleon Hill said,“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Defeat is never a failure;no circumstance ever is failure until it is accepted by the individual as a failure.” Nothing is impossible for an optimist attitude;everything is possible when we start blindly trusting ourselves,when we have a burning desire to succeed and a blind determination to make our dreams come true;everything is possible when we don’t take a no for an answer.

1. What is comfort zone according to the passage?

A.A place in our realistic life where we obtain comfort.

B.A mental place in our mind where we stick to our beliefs.

C.A limited place in our mind where we feel safe.

D.A secret place in our mind where we communicate with ourselves.

2. The author believes staying in our comfort zone can________.

A.prevent us from being aware of the reality

B.protect us from the cruel reality

C.push our development in life

D.stop us making progress in life

3. Napoleon Hill is quoted in the last paragraph to show that________.

A.one should not quit in order to succeed

B.a(chǎn) successful person can’t leave his comfort zone

C.there is a great difference between defeat and failure

D.it is important to take constant actions

4.The writing style of this passage can be described as________.

A.defensive B.persuasive

C.subjective D.supportive

"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you.?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. "There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. "The wind starts out by making little ripples (漣漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said. "Waves are one of nature's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey." When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪機(jī)). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.

"The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. "We will never run out of wave power." Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface---that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.

Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. "Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

1.The underlined phrase "picking up" is closest in meaning to ______.

A. starting again B. speeding up

C. improving D. gathering

2.We can make better use of wave energy if we ______.

A. shorten its journey to thousands of homes

B. build more small power stations on the oceans

C. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power

D. quicken the steps of producing electricity

3.It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ______.

A. our power supply B. our boat traffic

C. air pollution D. our supply of sea fish
