Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for【B1】______—those who have climbed the highest mountains,【B2】______unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds .
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place, 200 meters above the ground with an【B3】______rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping【B4】______jumping from tall buildings and【B5】______into the sea from the top of high【B6】______.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and【B7】______food; diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a【B8】______battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live in【B9】______safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors to【B10】______them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
【B6】
