Most of us go through life trying to do our best at whatever we do, whether it’s our job, family, school or anything else. But some time ago, I got to 16 that I wasn’t improving much at those things even though I was spending a lot of time working hard at them. This situation 17 to be pretty common.
So I’d like to share with you some ideas about why that is and what we can all do about it. We can learn from the most successful people and teams. They go through life purposely alternating(交替) 18 two zones: the learning zone and the performance zone.
The learning zone is when our goal is to improve. Then we do activities designed for 19 , concentrating (专心) on what we haven’t learned well yet, which means we have to expect to make mistakes, knowing that we will learn from 20 . That is very different from what we do 21 we’re in our performance zone, which is when our goal is to do something as well as we can to carry it out. Then we concentrate on what we have already learnt well and we try to make 22 mistakes.
Both of these zones should be part of our lives, but being 23 about when we want to be in each of them, with what goal, focus and expectations, helps us better perform and better improve. The performance zone pushes for our immediate performance, while the learning zone
prepares for our growth and our future performance. The reason 24 many of us don’t improve much though we have worked hard is that we spend almost all of our time in the performance zone. This 25 our growth and also our performance over the long term. So we should have a clear idea about when to learn and when to perform in our life.

19. A. movement B. invention C. education D. improvement 20. A. it B. us C. them D. me 21. A. until B. when C. since D. before 22. A. smaller B. fewer C. bigger D. more 23. A. interested B. amazed C. clear D. excited 24. A. which B. what C. when D. why 25. A. improves B. increases C. prevents D. provides 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
