Sometimes there's nothing better than the "rush"you feel when you're going at high speeds，or the wonder of going ——here new and different，climbing a mountain or enjoying extreme sports.These are the adventures we"thrill seekers"live for.But sometimes we also need to know when to slow down.
Recently，I went quad biking（越野摩托車）—or ATV driving—on a dirt track in the mountains outside of Beijing.After a brief instructional exercise and what seemed like lots of waiting，we put on our helmets，speeded up our engines and got onto the track.The sound of the engine roaring was thrilling.As I got more confident，I couldn't help overtaking other drivers whenever I got the chance.
Finally，the way forward opened up and I moved ahead of the others.I turned toward a small hill and raced down.As I soon found out，this was a big mistake.My ATV capsized at full speed.
Luckily，I knew it was happening and pushed myself out of the way of the falling ATV.Had I not，I probably would have broken my leg beneath the weight of the ATV or even lost it.I might have even broken my neck.It ended up turning out fine，apart from some pains in my chest for a week or so.This was a pleasant surprise for my friend.After seeing the accident，he said to me，"Dude，I thought you were dead."Perhaps I could have very well died，if I hadn't been lucky that day.
That event was one I'll always remember for the adventure and the near-death experience.It's good to be adventurous，but it 's will really important to be wise and careful too.So，go on adventures—but he smart while you're on them!

3．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
How to Be a Role Model Being a role model is a big responsibility，especially when you're on the job.How can you set a great example for your peers without setting impossible expectations for yourself？ （1）We've outlined some simple qualities and characteristics associated with good role models.
Act confidently. （2）Being confident features knowing your self-worth and your strengths，while arrogance centers on feelings of self-importance.You may take the lead on a project that matches your skillset and politely correct a co-worker when they share incorrect information.
Address your weaknesses.Role models aren't afraid to expose their weaknesses in a new way.Despite popular belief，they aren't flawless and perfect at everything they do. （3）You might ask others for advice on how to handle a tough project and say "no" to new commitments if you already have a full schedule.
Respect everyone around you.Respect earns you other people's trust and admiration.A good role model makes an effort to understand the feelings of their peers，care about their struggles，and treat others the way they'd like to be treated.You could try to wait for your turn to speak and offer a helping hand. （4）
（5）.Role models give their peers plenty of opportunities to improve.Take a moment to acknowledge how hard your teammate has worked and let them know how they can make their next draft or revision even stronger.Keep your tone clear，kind，and direct，so your peer completely understands how to do an even better job in the future.You might say： "I appreciate all the hard work you put into this draft.Would you mind giving it another read-through for small errors and typos？"
A.Share constructive feedback.
B.Appreciate your peers' efforts.
