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 adventure (冒险)-those who have climbed the highest mountains or explored unknown parts of the world. Now, howev-er, there are people who look for a quick pleasure from a dangerous activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I think bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity. Yet jump from a high place(maybe a bridge or a hot-air balloon (气球) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope ( 弹力绳 ) to your ankles (踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that 2, 000, 000 people around the world have now tried bungee jump-ing. Most people think that other activities, such as jumping from the tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high rocks (岩石) are as dangerous as bungee jumping.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some scientists think it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Now life has little excitement. They buy food in shops and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they are ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities as bungee jumping.
