【题目】Freeflyers: Modem Skydivers

And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute(降落伞）cord. You are falling 【2】 fast that just turning your head can send you off 【3】 a different direction. This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying.

Freeflying 【4】 (base) on the more traditional skydiving, 【5】 of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers, 【6】 the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous(即兴的）thrill of doing their own things.

The wildest trip for a freeflyers is falling ‘head down’. Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control, which means 【7】 (travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the 【8】 (slight) movement has a great effect on your direction.

They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes. 【9】 (actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes. It is only in the last few years 【10】 freeflying has gained any real public acceptance.
