Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.- 2 -I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometer 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 as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, peoples lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured,and life was a continuous battle for survival. Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement.
