I never know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I39。d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀釋劑) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky. I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was plete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt. My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we39。d toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (長(zhǎng)雪橇). Before the stroke it would39。ve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel eback. In the years since then, I39。ve traveled about twentyfive percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out—no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What39。s more, saying yes to travel keeps me connected to myself.(1)What does the underlined word perilous in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

As someone who takes part in so many activities, it39。s extremely difficult to find the time to be a part of any production. For me, it was a onceinalifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project. Auditions (試鏡)came first. They weren39。t particularly difficult, more to see who may be a better fit tor certain roles. We were told our roles in the various plays, and started to work immediately. I was unsure of how I was as an actor, and I had to learn a lot fast: actions, my place in the story, my reactions, and countless other small details... As I began to improve as an actor, I was able to understand my characters better. My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior advisor to a presidential candidate in a play called The Spot. He39。s a shorttempered guy who says what he wants and takes what he wants to assist his candidate in today39。s tough political races. He39。s on the set of The Spot, an advertisement for the candidate, to make sure everything runs smoothly and that any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently. While I had really interesting characters, and the plays were funny and such a great experience to act in, I really love the Senior Play Project for the people. I worked with 12 other seniors who not only loved what they were doing, but offered help and advice throughout my entire learning process. Between the lights, sounds, costume and makeup, and plenty more, theatre is a team
