Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. 1 They have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown (不为人知的) parts of the world or sailed (航行) in small boats across the greatest oceans.
2 I would consider (考虑) bungee (蹦极) 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 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. 3 Other activities which most people would say are as risky (冒险的) as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff (悬崖).
For the reasons, some psychologists (心理学家) explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring. 4 They has to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle (战争) for survival (生存).
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excite-ment. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.
5
A. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly (持续的) in danger.
B. People think it very exciting to have bungee jumping.
C. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement
(瞬间的刺激) from a risky (冒险的) activity which may only last a few
minutes or even seconds.
D. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities
such as bungee jumping.
E. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure.
F. It is said that about 2 million people around world have now tried bungee
jumping.

参考范文:
It's our duty to protect the environment. More and more people ride bikes when they go out nowadays. It's helpful to keep the air clean.
I usually ride to school. I only take a bus on a rainy day. On my bicycle I can breathe the fresh air and do some exercise to keep healthy. Besides, I can keep away from the traffic jam and make sure I can arrive at school on time. To my joy, I can also do a bit for keeping the air clean by riding a bicycle.
I hope everybody will join us and take care of our environment in this way. I believe the air around us will be cleaner with the help of us all.
