Have you ever wondered(疑惑)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(研究者)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場(chǎng)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 stay with the same people，the same group. The danger always staying in our comfort zone(舒適區(qū))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 find differences.

When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers(隔閡)which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance(無知)?If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons(鴿子).

Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there without any words. 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.

It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father’s lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure（模糊的形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.

When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.

But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）. “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see you,” I told him.

I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave. I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼淚）running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.

Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.

For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明顯地）not true. At my graduation ceremony. I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.
