十、阅读理解。
Our adventure started in December 2020 when our daughter got engaged. Her fiance lives in Chicago but grew up in Phuket, Asia, so a wedding there sounded perfect.
The pre-wedding activities were fun, and the wedding and reception were beautiful. But our adventure had only just began!The morning after the wedding, my husband and I set off for the northeast coast of Borneo. We flew to the town of Sandakan, a gateway to wildlife adventures.
Our destination was the Kinabatangan Wetlands Resort on the Kinabatangan River. This area is one of Malaysia's most important wildlife habitats. As we travelled along the riverbank on our first afternoon, we observed an orangutan(猩猩) building a nest in the treetop. Next, we caught sight of monkeys swinging through the trees. We also spotted red birds and watched kingfishers dive for fish.
After dinner, eight guests, plus our guide and boatman, boarded the boat again—the night was absolutely dark. We started down to the river. Suddenly, a snake dropped into the water from overhanging branches and then jumped into our boat! It quickly jumped out again to our great relief! When we reached the mouth of the river, the red eyes of crocodiles greeted us. That frightening sight shook everyone up! But when we rounded a bend in the river, we saw mango trees lit up by fireflies. A glorious scene!
The next morning found us once again in a boat. To our delight, approximately 40 elephants paraded(列队行进) past. We couldn't believe our luck as the elephants only show up in that area once a year.
Upon our return to Sandakan, we learned that everything in Malaysia was shut down and numerous flights were cancelled due to a pandemic disease. However, we made it home. It was an adventure forever!

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking.1.___ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare other people. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why some people take risks might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.2.___ As the quality of risk-taking was passed down from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance to risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. Some risk-takers daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exist today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.3.___
No matter where you are in the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.4.___ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance to risk as well.
5.___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we'll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A.It all depends on your character.
B.Those are the risks you should take.
C.Being better at those things meant a better chance of survival.
D.Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F.However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
