12、xt AUnit 7Ultimate ChallengeBunge Jumping PassageNew WordsExpressions and PhrasesExercisesback第9页Bungee Jumping Anyone can do it. You climb a high tower or crane. Or perhaps you go up in a hot-air balloon. Someone attaches a thick rubber band around your ankles. Then you leap out into the wild blue
13、yonder. Your body plunges toward the earth below. Then, at the last moment, the rubber band stops you. This is not your day to die. The sport is called bungee jumping. It originated in the south Pacific island of Vanuatu with the natives performing it as part of their manhood ritual, leaping from ba
14、mboo towers with only vines tied to their ankles. 参考译文Unit 7Ultimate Challengeback本页录音全文录音第10页 Modern bungee jumping began in England on April Fools Day, 1979. The members of the Oxford Dangerous Sports Club were looking for a new thrill. So the men climbed up a high bridge, tied rubber cords to the
15、ir ankles, and jumped. But it was a man from New Zealand who made bungee jumping a big sport. His name was Alan John Hackett. Hackett was quite a dare devil. He had once jumped off the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Then, in 1988, he wanted to give others a chance to try bungee jumping. At that time
16、, though, the sport was illegal. So Hackett made a deal with New Zealand police. Using his own money, he would fix up a bridge over a river gorge. In return, the police would let him open a legal bungee jumping center on the bridge.参考译文Unit 7Ultimate Challengeback本页录音全文录音第11页 The center was a huge s
17、uccess. Hackett gave each jumper a special T-shirt. Everyone wanted one of those shirts. And since the only way to get one was to make a jump, more and more people agreed to do it. Some jumpers did wild things. They asked to jump with an extra-long cord. That way they would dip into the river before
18、 the cord pulled them back. One man put shampoo on his head. When he bounced up out of the water, he was washing his hair! 参考译文Unit 7Ultimate Challengeback本页录音全文录音第12页 There is, of course, real danger. In 1989, two French jumpers died when their cords broke. A third died when he slammed into a tower
19、. But for many, the danger just adds to the excitement. Besides, bungee jumpers dont talk about the tragedies. They talk about the triumphs. They talk about facing their fears. And they talk about the joy of the fall itself. During a jump, a person hits speeds of 60 miles an hour. Then, when the cor
20、d tightens, the jumper springs back up into the air like a rocket. For a short time, he or she is a kind of human yo-yo, bouncing up and down in the breeze. When the cord loses its bounce, the ride is over.参考译文Unit 7Ultimate Challengeback本页录音全文录音第13页 Jumpers feel both happy and relieved when its ove
21、r. Most laugh and smile as they are unhooked from the cord. “Hey, look at me! I did it!” many of them shout.
