You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band（带）tied to your legs. You fall down and the rubber band pulls you up. About 200,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

Why people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight and was interesting.

【推荐3】Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. Working women are healthier than housewives.

Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness(孤独). Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It affects man’s spirit and it will cause more illnesses.

Besides, work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status(形象) in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
