Homework
Read the article and number the paragraphs in the
correct order.
A. You might think that the whole point of an extreme sport is that it is
dangerous. Although this is important, it isn't the only danger that
these sportspeople are seeking. They also find these sports
incredibly exhilarating and, in fact, it's this element - the
combination of fear and enjoyment - that provides the real thrill. In
the case of an extreme sportsperson, fear becomes pleasure.

B. In today's world, where actual predators and natural dangers


seldom exist, this response can eventually cause stress and feelings
of anxiety. In addition, any decisions we make in a risky situation can
actually be influenced by the effect adrenaline has on the body. For
some people adrenaline can have long-term negative effects, but
others can actually get addicted to it and the feeling it gives. These
people are often referred to as "adrenaline addicts" or "adrenaline
junkies."

C. Adrenaline is the hormone that prepares our bodies to react in


times of stress or danger. When a person perceives a situation as
dangerous, adrenaline is released into the bloodstream in order to
increase blood flow and heart rate. Blood is rapidly supplied to the
parts of the body needed most, like the legs and the pupils of the
eyes. At the same time, the supply is reduced to areas of less
importance,like the skin and stomach.

D. Evidence of this phenomenon can be found in the ever-growing


world of extreme sports. There is now a wide range of sports
designed to give these adrenaline junkies the thrill they need. Ever
more strange sports are emerging - from the more usual (such as
skydiving or snowboarding) to the incredibly dangerous. Examples
of these include base jumping (when people parachute off buildings
or cliffs), ice climbing, and cave diving.

Read the article again and mark the sentences T (true) or F


(false).
1. Adrenaline is a drug injected by extreme sportsmen and
sportswomen. f
2. The effects of adrenaline can vary from person to person.
3. The adrenaline response is a necessary part of life.
4. The success of extreme sports shows that adrenaline addicts exist.
5. The least important feature of extreme sports is the element of
danger involved.

1. Don't leave the medicine on the table if / in case the children
open it.
2. Let's stop the car unless / until it stops raining.
3. You'll have plenty of time to travel when / if your children grow
up.
4. If / In case there isn't enough evidence, the man will be

5. Please return to your seats until / as soon as the "fasten seat
belt" sign is turned on.
6. Let's go to the duty-free store before / after our flight leaves.
