ildest animals。 some places where the locals are just a few generations past headhunting. 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?

For me, that39。s true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn39。t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋) on the screen. Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has bee far away for my dad and me. When it39。s warm at night, we39。re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me. Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses(繞過)a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I39。m now a science writer. Yes, science fiction has made me into a nerd(書呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions。 the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson39。s words, Since I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be.(1)What is the special bond between the author and his father? A.Their similar dreams.B.Their love for each other.C.Their mon inter
