Part I Text 1 why do we risk it?
Risk sports are one of the fastest growing leisure activities. Daredevils try anything from organized bungee jumps to illegally jumping off buildings. These people never feel so alive as when they are risking their lives.
So, why do some people’s lives seem to be dominated by the “thrill factor”, while others are perfectly happy to sit at home? Some say that people who do risk sports are reacting against the society which they feel has become dull and uninteresting. David Lewis, a psychologist, believes that people today crave adventure. In fact, our culture has eliminated risk. “The world has become a safe place,’’says Lewis. “People used to be able to seek adventure by hunting wild animals, or taking part in expeditions. Now they turn to risk sports as an escape.”
Risk sports have a positive side as well. They help people to overcome fears that affect them in their real lives. This makes risk sports particularly valuable for executives in office jobs who need to stay alert so that they can cope when things go wrong.
