UNIT 7.SPORT.

1. READING. You are going to read a magazine article about extreme sports. Five sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-F the one which fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. A pickup truck rolls to the centre of a deserted bridge. Several people get out. Two of them, a thirty-something young man and a twenty-something young woman, are both wearing strange-looking harness on their backs. The others with them check their harnesses to make sure all is well. As soon as they complete these preparations, they attach a long cord to each harness and securely fasten the cords to the bridge. When that is finished, the young man and woman climb up on the bridge rail, wave the crowd below, and jump.------------------. The elastic cords attached to their backs are so strong and flexible that the young people will be able to drop close to the canyon floor below without hitting it. This is bungee jumping, one of a new set of sports that are being described as “extreme”. Most people, if they’re really honest with themselves, will admit they like sports at least a little bit. When the first Olympic Games began in Greece in 776 B.C., something within the human spirit was tapped. Most of us like to be challenged, and many of us are at least moderately competitive. --------------------Although sports have long been popular, something significant has changed in the last ten to twenty years. A whole new set of sports has been created. They are called “extreme” because participants are pushing themselves to extreme (and even dangerous) levels. Why do people participate in extreme sports? Mark Musgrave, an extreme sportsman who windsurfs all year around, says people do it because it is a question of attitude, not the activity per se. “These sports are so hard”, says Musgrave, “they don’t attract the masses, I think that is one of the appealing things about it. You can excel in it if you put your mind to it. There’s not a thousand people out there crowding you or doing what you are doing”. He adds, “There is no right. There is no wrong. There are no rules. You can do what you want and no one cares”. So what are some of these new extreme sports? Musgrave’s own sport of windsurfing is one, though windsurfing on a quiet summer day at a speed of 2 miles an hour hardly qualifies. ------------------- -------------------------------, although riding your mountain bike down a gentle slope at a leisurely pace doesn’t make you an extreme biker. What does is piloting that bike down a steep, rocky mountain path at a speed of at least 35 miles per hour. You can also call yourself extreme sports enthusiasts if you ski off cliffs, jump out of a plane and sky surf, or go in-line skating. By now, someone somewhere is probably mounting a campaign to make extreme sports safer to save extreme sports enthusiasts from themselves. Are these sports too dangerous? Perhaps. Even if they are, isn’t it a personal choice involved here? It occurs to this writer that the development of extreme sports is understandable, even quite predictable. We live in such a globalised, homogenised world today that a counterrevolution seems to have started. Wherever we go, we see sameness: a McDonald’s in Moscow is only marginally different from one in Paris or in Pensacola, Florida. There seems to be far fewer singular, individualised experiences today than there were in the past. ----------------------

A. If you want to become extreme, you’ll have to travel much faster with a much more powerful wind blowing

while you’re trying to do a forward flip.

B. Maybe extreme-sport people are merely striking a blow for truly individualised and unique experiences.

C. Sports provide benefits: they amuse and excite us, provide jobs for many people, and allow individuals who

might not have other opportunities to achieve success.

D. No, this is not a suicide attempt.

E. Then, there is mountain biking.

F. The growing popularity of extreme sports worldwide has raised questions about the financial and human

consequences for athletes and the rescuers who watch over them.
