Ⅳ.阅读理解
I have traveled to many places—the jungles where the water is unsafe;places with the wildest animals.Friends always ask why I,a middle-aged woman with no athletic

talent,go to such places.I never know how to answer—Just I want to put my toes in the mud of adventure.
I stopped traveling nine years ago after I suffered a stroke (中风)caused by a disease,APS.To prevent another stroke,my doctors told me that traveling to remote places without medical help would be risky.A slip on a damp temple step,even a slight traffic accident,would no longer be mere annoyances.
My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps —a feast in Texas,a visit to my mom in Virginia.They all came back,the freedom,the excitement and the fresh air.
The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband in visiting China.After we had toured a temple,Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (平底雪橇).Before the stroke it would have seemed like fun for me.But now I stepped back.I feared.My mind screamed warnings of a fall or a crash.Then gathering confidence from nowhere,I lowered myself and took the flying toboggan ride,which marked my adventure travel’s coming back.Since then,I’ve dared to take challenges and have challenged many places.
But I watch my medicine like an eagle.I get my blood tested.I weigh the risks.Then,if I decide it’s okay,like that toboggan ride down the mountain,I just jump in,let go and enjoy the ride.I think I travel for hoping to broaden my world and keep me connected with friends and families.Most of all,saying “yes” to travel is related to my APS.If I let myself be afraid to travel,then my APS will win.
