【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
ns 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?

I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into ignore pattern, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself. Hi, my name is Helga! We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called .(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad39。s health was on the decline. Later her father39。s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers. When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I39。ll never forget about Helga39。s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked at me and said, Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day. It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn39。t normal. Kindness isn39。t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I39。m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help. So, I39。ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I39。m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.(1)What impressed the author most about Helga39。s story? A.Helga39。s anxiety over her father39。s sudden illness.B.Helga had no one to talk to on her flight to Arizona.C.Helga was ignored by people around her when she cried.D.Helga couldn39。t get over her sadness over her Father39。s death.(2)Which can be
