Now, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even s
18、econds. I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about
19、 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people around the world have now tried bungee include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists
20、 suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, peoples lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival. Nowadays, according to many people, li
21、fe offers little excitement. They live ad work in quite safe conditions; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them become ill.

They are not a nation of walled gardens and closed gates. Their yards normally run into one another without fences；they oft
26、en visit one anothers homes without being invited or telephoning first; they leave their office doors open while they work.Their lack of desire for privacy probably results from their history as a nation. America is a big country. There have never been walled cities in the United States, nor was the
27、re the need for Americans to protect themselves from neighboring states. During the early years, America had so few settlers that neighbors were very important; they were not to be shut out by doors and fences. Neighbors offered protection and helped in the hard work of settling the land. They depen
28、ded upon each other.From the nations early history has come the desire for openness rather than privacy. Visitors will notice this desire in a number of small ways; there may be rooms in American homes that do not have doors or that have glass walls. If you notice that people forget to close your do

34、oor The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy while a ring of hungry children watched her.

39、ng over dinner, the coast is still a couple of hundred kilometers away and it is essential to get that early morning ferry. And your car radiator pipe bas split. At times like that, the documents making up your insurance kit lying in the front of your car seem useless. The nearest phone was passed t
40、hree kilometers back, and it would be reasonable to expect some delay in getting breakdown assistance when you have finally phoned through.If on the other hand, youve got a spare in the car, five minutes work should see you on your way again. The majority of breakdowns do involve minor and easily ch
41、anged parts. A few basic tools and the right mix of spares are well worth the space they take up. But to sort out which ones are most likely to be needed, and to buy them, can be expensive.That is why the motoring organizations have come up with rental kits. For about 50 pence a day (slightly more t
42、o non-members) they will supply a boxed range of spares for a given ear. On returning the kit the motorist pays for any that are used, plus a small fee for repacking. Deposits are about 20.It is much better, however, to reduce the risk of breakdowns by seeing that your car is properly serviced befor
43、e setting out. Particularly when driving at high speed over long distances in hot weather.Finally, it makes sense to purchase a safety triangle and an emergency plastic windscreen before leaving.

48、 the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley.

Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third row.
