Why aren't some people satisfied with traditional sports such as tennis, basketball, and skiing? Why do they
feel the need to push their limits and do extreme sports like white water rafting or canyoning, which
____________43 a lot of danger? One answer may be that life today is much easier than it was in the past. Dayto-day survival used to be much more physical than it is nowadays. Our ancestors used to ____________44
most of their time to physical activities such as hunting and farming, that is chasing down animals and
labouring to raise crops. Nowadays, the food-gathering workout for the average person is nothing more than
pushing a shopping cart down a supermarket aisle, which is not really a/an ____________45 experience. Many
people today work at jobs that ____________46 them to use their brains, but not their bodies. With the
Internet, it's true that there is a whole world of information at our fingertips, but much of it is second-hand.
The ____________47 of this situation is that many of us do not directly experience the things that we already
know. Here is another reason why extreme sports are gaining popularity: when faced with a highly exciting
situation, the body starts to ____________48 the hormone adrenaline. According to both research and the
extreme athletes themselves, this hormone creates a state of ____________49 excitement. The extremists
eventually become “adrenaline junkies” and they end up being unable to do without adrenaline. They feel
____________50 to put their lives at risk and enjoy the excitement.
