see each other for two or three hours every day.
Decisions on the way of bringing up their children are taken collectively by the

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such activity. You jump
from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air ballon) 200 meters above the ground
with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until
the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated (figure out) that 2 million
people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most
people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping include jumping from high
building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in
such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modem
societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly
under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured,
and life was a continuous battle for survival.
46. More and more people today .
A. are climbing the highest mountains
B. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
C. are coming close to death in sports
D. are looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places
47. In bungee jumping, you .
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. attach yourself to a rope and fall to the ground

because .
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they no longer need to hunt for food
C. their lives lack excitement
D. they can go to hospital if they are injured
49. The writer of the text has a attitude towards dangerous sports.

Mr. Frank shot well and once he had come in fourth in a competition.
Then he went to a big city on business. There he joined the local rifle club. The
club had a very good team, which used to take part in a lot of important shooting
competitions. One of these took place while Frank was with them. But one of the
members of the club's team suddenly fell ill just before the match. The captain had
heard of Mr. Frank. He therefore invited Mr. Frank to take the sick man's place.
Mr. Frank felt greatly happy to be asked to shoot for such a good team, but he also
