I was traveling with my husband and three teenage sons，in the United States.We ordered our food at a fast-food place，and with my meal I also wanted a blueberry pie.My husband is the chatty one in the family and likes to socialize，so he started to a conversation about the place where blueberries grow with the girl.She answered，with some anxiety， "They grow on trees."
The whole family's jaws dropped!How could this girl not know where blueberries grow？We tried not to embarrass her，and just took the opportunity to teach her a little about how blueberries grow，on small shrubs on the ground.She seemed to appreciate learning something new.We can't know all the same things，as you'll see from the next thing I'm going to tell you.
In 2002 our family made a short trip to a coffee plantation.The road to the plantation was narrow filled with hairpin bends.I worried about hitting another car.We didn't，lucky us!When we finally got to our destination，we learned a lot about the plantation and coffee production，but we didn't see any coffee plants.Where were they？We decided to ask one of the people working there. "So where are the coffee plants？We can't see them anywhere."
She reached out her arm and caught a twig right next to us and explained，"This is the coffee plant and these little things will be coffee beans." I looked around in embarrassment，as we were surrounded by coffee plants!She explained that coffee plants aren't big and that they have to grow in the shade of other bigger plants.I appreciated her lesson.
We love our coffee，but I'm sure most of my countrymen would not be able to recognize a coffee plant among other tropical plants if asked.Our jaws can drop at different things，depending on geographical locations，at what we know and don't know.Never take anything for granted!

1．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5 -
