Some people think the government should ban dangerous sports and some others think it is a freedom to choose the activities we want to. Discuss both view and give your opinion. 有人认为政府应该限制危险性的运动，有人认为人人有权利选择自己喜爱的运动。讨论两种观点，给出你的意见。(2011年7月30日 = 2014年8月9日)
【头脑风暴导言】
通常，令我们敬重和欣赏之人皆有共性：第一，他们做了我们渴望做，但是，却未敢尝试的事情。第二，他们成功地做成了我们尝试未果的事情。深海潜水，让人探究神秘的海底世界;勇攀高峰，让人体味一览众山小的豪情;海上帆板，让人感受劈风斩浪的激情。探索未知是人之本性，挑战自我是人之追求。完善自我保护，加强专业训练，若如此，人人都应尝试一些极限运动。
【作家立场】 人生没有冒险就不能称其为人生(支持极限运动)。
