Psychology（心理學(xué)）tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired(渴望的) result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear to move on. This is because they failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories（領(lǐng)土）. This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物學(xué)的) connection creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket(火箭); however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain(獲得) something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.
小題1:Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly because ___________.
A．they are too lazy to move on
B．they feel pleased with the present life
C．they have failed several times before
D．they show little interest in the strange world outside
小題2:What does the underlined part “This attitude” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Taking risksB．Fighting off enemies

小題3:What can we infer from the passage?

B．The safest place has the greatest risk.
C．People should take risks when they are young.
D．We can always achieve our goals by taking risks.
小題4: Businessmen take a risk in order to __________.
A．sell parts of a company
B．complete many things
C．make more money
D．get inside a rocket
小題5:What would be the title for the passage?
A．Taking risks is easier said than doneB．Risks taken by ancestors

閱讀短文，判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容。符合的寫“A”，不符合的寫“B”。（共5小題，每小題2分）

Water is the most important in our lives. Not Many people understand this but it’s quite true. The human body can go without food for a long time. We’ve got many examples for this. Yet two or three dayswithout water can usually make people die. Man can’t live without water.
Many people don’t understand how much water the human body needs to work well, and many people, especially young people, do not drink enough water, even in very hot weather. About two thirds of our body is water. When we do sports, some of the water will get away from our body. If we don’t drink some water, our body won’t have enough water. And if we don’t have enough water, we’ll feel tired and many of us will get ill. So you know how important water is to us.
But at present we face water crisis(危機(jī)). Water is becoming less and less. So， we should protect water resources(資源) and try our best to save water in our daily life. Here are some tips for saving water:
1. Turn off the tap(水龍頭) in lime.
2. Take shorter showers.
3. Don’t let water run while washing your face and reuse the water after we finish washing.
4. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join in the action of saving water.
小題1:Nobody can live without water.
小題2:About one third of our body is water
小題3:If one doesn't have enough water, he’ll feel tired and may get ill.
小題4:We’d better take longer showers and let water run while washing.
