阅读表达专项练习（一）1 if you want to take an adventure travel lasting a day or two, or over a long holiday weekend, a backpacking adventure travel may be a perfect solution. this type of adventure travel is usually easier to plan and will give you a nice break away from your everyday routine. before you begin, you first have to decide how long you plan on being away.2 if you plan on being gone for one single day, a daypack would do, but if you plan on going on a multi-day adventure travel, you would need to go for backpacking. with both these types, you would have to keep in mind a few more things. for example, the backpack for your backpacking adventure travel should come with sturdy (结实的) shoulder straps (带). in addition to that, your backpack should also have enough padding and curves. this helps to keep your collarbone (锁骨) safe otherwise it would hurt it. 3 another thing that must be understood with backpacking is having good zips. the zips should be strong and durable. and to make things easier for you, always try to choose zips of the larger size. these types are always more reliable. your backpack should also come with a good waist strap. and why is that essential for you? for the simple reason that it takes much of the weight off your shoulders and as such your shoulders would not get tired easily.4 and the last thing that should be kept in mind before choosing your backpacking adventure travel is that the material of the backpack must be of the highest quality. you should not compromise on quality just because of the cost. the consequences could be very problematic. just imagine if the backpack gave out in the middle of your adventure travel. 5 keep in mind that your preparation will greatly depend on the location you choose for your adventure travel, the type of terrain (地形) and the weather conditions for that area. be sure to perform as much research as possible before you leave for your backpacking adventure travel to ensure you will have an exciting and memorable experience.1. what is the text mainly about?

(no more than 12 words)_2. fill in the blank in paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 4 words)_3. what did dr baron decide to do after hearing the patients complaint?
