Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly, take on all kinds of adventures（冒险） while they physically still can. So, instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party, she decided to go paragliding（高崖跳伞运动） ----- an idea she got from her 75-year-old son who recently took it up as a hobby.

　　So on her birthday, cheered on by her big family, she tied herself up together with expert instructor（专业指导者） Kevin Hintze, and jumped fearlessly from the skies near her home in Ogden, Utah. And, it was not just a simple jump either. According to Kevin Hintze, the grandmother encouraged him to turn around, as they made their way down.

　　This is not the first time that Mary has done something “wild” and “crazy”. For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland. And, she is not done yet ----- For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3,000 foot Alpine Slide at Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort!

　　Not surprisingly, this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a 100-year-old British woman. Pretty amazing! 56. What do we know about Mary Hardison?

　　A. She took up paragliding as her hobby at the age of 75.   

　　B. She is a 101-year-old lady who likes challenging herself.
