  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-those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.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.

  Bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot air ballon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic(皮筋)tied to your ankles(脚踝).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 as risky a 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(心理学家)suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring.Long ago, people’s 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.They live and work in comparatively safe condition; 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.

  Bungee jump is the art of tying a very large rubber band to your ankles, then jump off a perfectly good bridge or other high obstacle(障碍物).Bungee Jumping is an extreme sport that not everyone has the heart to do, but allegedly(据说), once you do your first bungee jump, you are hooked and want to do it all over again, and from different places.

  The idea of bungee jump came from an ancient ceremony held on an island in the Pacific.The legend goes like this, a man was arguing fiercely with his wife, and she ran away from him and into the forest.She climbed a Banyan tree and wrapped her ankles with vines(藤), to save herself in case she fell off.Her husband eventually found her, and climbed the same tree to make peace with this wife.But, the woman jumped from the tree to get away, and he jumped after her immediately to save her.So she bounced back up and he hit the ground very hard and died.This legend is said to start the coming of age ceremony practiced on the island, where young men about to enter adulthood, would tie the vines to their ankles, and jump off tall trees of little cliffs.If the young men lived after they had jumped, they would be recognized as men.If they got ready and at the last minute would not do the jump, they were forever recognized as boys and hardly ever married.

  In the modern world, bungee jumping started, again allegedly, on April Fools day, 1979.A group from Oxford University, England, calling themselves "The Dangerous Sports Club" used nylon rubber to conduct an improvised(即兴的)bungee jump, and four of them jumped for the first time.The his the world press headlines, and a new extreme sport has been born.
