人教新目标(Go for it)版2024-2025学年英语八年级上册期中测试卷
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. I would consider bungee jumping(蹦极)to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place, 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的)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 said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs(悬崖).
Why do people take part in such activities? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern society has become safe and boring.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions (条件):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 look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
