Over 40 years ago, a country music DJ convention (大會) was held every year in Nashville, Tennessee. Many country performers used to attend (參加) the convention to give their performances. Fans would go to Nashville hoping to see their favorite performers. In the end, so many fans began showing up in Nashville that a festival named Fan Fair was born.
The first Fan Fair was held in April 1972, in Nashville for four days. Some of country music's biggest stars attended. There were about fifty thousand fans. The first Fan Fair was so successful that planning began almost immediately for 1973. The date was changed to June, when the weather would be better. Over one hundred thousand fans attended the second Fan Fair.
Every year brought so many performers and fans to Fan Fair that, in 1982, it was moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Fan Fair stayed at the fairgrounds for another nineteen years.
There was always the unexpected during the festival. In 1974, former Beatle Paul McCartney attended. In 1992, more than six hundred reporters from Europe, Asia, and South America went to cover the appearance of a popular star, Billy Ray Cyrus, who had introduced a new country line dance. In 1996, Garth Brooks, who made a surprise appearance, signed autographs (簽名) for 23 hours.
In 2001, Fan Fair returned to downtown Nashville as the world's biggest country music festival. Now, over one hundred and twenty-five thousand country music fans go to Nashville every June. As you can imagine, those who want to attend Fan Fair must plan ahead. For example, they need to buy a ticket several months ahead of time. Of course, there's much more to prepare.

If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 1. So challenge the following limits:
1. Figure out what you are scared of and do it continuously.
If you are a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you will fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 2. But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”
2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop.
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. 3. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
4. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
4. 5.
Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
A. You should do it continuously.
B. You don’t need to go to the gym.
C. Someone may make you disturbed.
D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.
E. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.
F. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.
