Many people take risks pursuing their dreams, yet there is a difference between taking risks and being reckless. Without risk-takers, humanity would
not have explored new frontiers, created advanced technology, or walked on
the moon. Reckless behavior, on the other hand, often leads to disaster. Write

and the reading (pages 32-33). Write at least three paragraphs, and use three
or more words from this unit.
