Of course there have always been people who have looked for adventure (冒险) and those who have climbed the highest mountains or explored unknown parts of the world. Now, however, there are people who look for a quick pleasure from a dangerous activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I think bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (maybe a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope (弹力绳) to your ankles (踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Most people think that other activities, such as jumping from the tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high rocks are as dangerous as bungee jumping.Why do people take part in such activities? Some scientists think it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Now life has little excitement. They buy food in shops and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they are ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities as bungee jumping. 46.

We all need to dream,” some scientists say.Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we cant remember the dream. Dreams can disappear (消失) quickly from memory (记忆).Too much dreaming can be harmful(有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.66. Is it less important to sleep than to dream? _67. What do dreams and films have in common? _68.
