Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have been people who have looked for adventure---those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. (1)_________________________.
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 elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Why do people take part in such activities as these? (2)_________________________. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival。
(3)_________________________. They live and work in a comparatively safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping。
