Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports activities.Of course,there have always been people who have looked for adventure— those who have climbed the highest mountains,explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now,however,there are people who seek(寻找)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 200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹力的)rope tied to your feet.You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It__is__reported__that__two__million__people__around__the__world__have__now__tried__bungee__jumping.

Why do people take part in such activities like this?Some psychologists(心理学家)suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring.In ancient times,people had to face danger and difficulties.They had to go out and hunt for food.Diseases could not easily be cured,and there was a continuous battle for survival(生存).

Nowadays,according to many people,life offers little excitement.They live and work in comparatively safe environments;they buy food in shops;there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.It is necessary for some of these people to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

Sports can help you keep fit and get close to nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves or on the grassland,you should realize that the sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-?hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also lots of water.Besides,huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.This causes major environmental changes.For example,in the dry places of Portugal and Spain,golf is often the main reason for serious water shortages(短缺)in some local areas.

There are also many environment-?friendly sports.Walking is one of sports that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes,and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,walking can also help you stay healthy.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart.Experts say that 20 minutes of speed walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and keep thin.

Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment? friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”.They are better replacements(替代品)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份).And best of all,it's free.

Four years ago,Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games.At this year's Pyeong Chang Olympics,Wu not only returned,but also made history.

On Feb.22nd,2018,Wu won the gold medal in the men's short?track 500-?meter race.He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds.He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short?track gold medal.BBC said Wu's win was “flawless”,because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

“I didn't give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the reporter after the match.
