     Psychology (心理學) tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks,
especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired 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
(恐懼) to move on. This is because of one or two failures 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 (提供) us with the
desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
     Risk taking is a great benefit(好處)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(領土). This attitude has
become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the
average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological
and biological (生物學上的) connection (聯(lián)系)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. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can
finish many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; 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 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.
1. Some people don't want to take risks, mainly (主要)because _______.
A. they are too lazy to move on
B. they feel pleased with the present life.
C. they have experienced some failures before
D. they show little interest in the strange world outside
2. What does the underlined part "This attitude" in Paragraph 4 mean? 
A. Taking risks
B. Fighting off enemies
C. Discovering new territories
D. Becoming stronger and stronger
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Daily life is full of risks
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
4. What would be the title for the passage?
A. Taking risks is easier said than done
B. On risks taken by ancestors
C. Live our life to the fullest (充分地)
D. No risk, no gain.

Shortly afterwards, fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20-year veteran(老警官)of the force, returned home after work to find a note from his 15 year old daughter on the dining table.

Titled The Ultimate Cop, Laura’s poem was dedicated “To all the cops in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts. And especially to my dad”. It was about a police officer’s daughter who sees on the night time news that her father has been shot. Part of poem: “Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me cry?

She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t finish it.”
Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. “I don’t want to be out there without it,” he said. “I’ll probably carry it with me forever.”
