【題目】 Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports activities.Of course,there have always been people who have looked for adventure— those who have climbed the highest mountainsexplored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now,howeverthere are people who seek(尋找)a risky activity,which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
