Read the passage silently then answer
the questions that follow
What
do snowboarding, base-jumping; skydiving, Downhill Mountain biking, and hang
gliding have in common? They
are all considered “extreme”
sports because they involve some degree of danger, and lots of excitement.
Many
people choose these alternative
sports over traditional options like soccer or tennis. Patrick, 25, started
snowboarding when he was eight. He
still feels he needs to be constantly on the edge. Catherine, 47, started
bungee jumping a few years ago simply to add some variety to her life. Indeed, extreme
sports, or alternative sports as others prefer to call them, attract people of
all ages, including parents with their children. Paul, 35, enjoys skateboarding
and mountain biking with his 10-year-old daughter. He says that skateboarding requires as much, if not more, training and
skill as soccer, basketball, or boxing. Many parents like him feel that some of
these sports create the perfect opportunity to teach children about safety,
self-confidence and endurance, while engaging in new physical activities.
Undoubtedly, fear is a special
component of these cool sports that attract young and mature audiences alike. However, according to experts with
redevelopment of appropriate equipment that enables us to do sport safely, risk
of injury can reduce. Unfortunately,
in most cases,
safety
equipment is expensive, raising the cost of participating. For example, 30-second
bungees jump may cost from $50 to over $300 in different parts of the world.
