          Collecting any sort of item makes a person unique. It can be stamps,baseball cards,snow globes,or even coins. What you collect can also show who you are as a person. My husband has a wonderful collection handed down from generation to generation. He has a massive collection of coins. The tradition started from his great grandmother,who handed her coins down to her daughter,who in turn,handed them down to my husband's mother. The tradition was supposed to stay within the daughters of the family. However,my husband had more interest in the collection than his sister and brother. So,his mother handed over her collection to him.

           It was given to him about ten years ago,and since then,the collection has doubled. He has coins from Roman times and World War II!Just recently he got a whole collection from Europe and Mexico. Collecting them alone is amazing. However,the way he takes care of them is even better. He cherishes every one of his coins. He keeps all of them in a small bag also given by his mother,and stores it away safely" in a small drawer. No matter where he travels,or where he visits," he always comes home with a coin in his hand. Each one of those coins has a story behind them. Each time he holds a coin in his hand,a story comes out about how he got it.

             Many people would think the coin collection is fun and typical. For my husband,it has so much more meaning. It is a true passion that he hopes to pass on to our child in the future. Anything that can create a story,a memory,or a happy thought makes it worthwhile. A collection of any sort makes a person unique. For me,my husband is someone who has a unique hobby.

          Don’t try this — ever. Hiking to the end of the Awa’ awapuhi Trail(路径) on the island of Kauai,Hawaii is a pretty scary experience. But photographer Scott Sharick did that. Holding a camera stick,he walked along the mountain's ridge. The resuld? The scariest (自拍) we've ever seen.

          Scott Sharick did that because he is a photographer and he needs to take risks at times. It doesn't  mean we can follow his footsteps. The state forbids hikers to go where this man has gone.

          While the trail starts with a fairly easy walk through the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve,where you* 11 enjoy fine views of the ocean and valleys,it ends with two lookout points(瞭望哨) showing off the amazing Awa awapuhi and Nualolo valleys below. “The trail slopes down,so getting there is quick,” Sharick explained. “Once you get to the lookout points,you can then take a walk down the ridge.”

          If you go past the raz/zVzgs (金属围栏) ,which is extremely dangerous and not suggested,and onto the mountain's ridge like Sharick did,you’ 11 find yourself surrounded by panoramic views of.Kauais  famousNa Pali coastline. "Anyone hiking should be aware of the challenges of any given hike ,” Sharick warned. “And they should not take risks just to see a beautiful view or to get a picture."

          David Chatsuthiphan,who writes the hiking blog Unreal Hawaii,offered a similar warning. “Extreme caution should be exercised at the end of the trail because it's a cliff,” he wrote. “It would be very easy for a person to slip and fall to his death."

          Follow the state's official trail and access a guide to reach the Awa,awapuhi Trail head. Going onto the mountain's ridge is strictly banned.

   A. To show his bravery.

   C. To admire the scenery of the ocean and valleys.

   D. To find a way to cross the Awa,awapuhi valley.

   B. can then take an easy walk along the Na Pali coastline

   C. can get a better view of the two amazing valleys below *

   D. will find themselves surrounded by the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve

11. What is David Chatsuthiphan’s attitude toward hiking the trail?
