Question 3
Complete PANIC IS RARE
Mark 14.00 out
of 16.00

Imagine this scene: a woman inside a cage in the sea, with sharks all around her. Wouldn´t you expect the
woman to feel terrified? Not Gill Williams – she finds such experiences absolutely thrilling. Gill is an “extreme”
sportswoman – and adventurer who takes sport to its most dangerous limits.
1 ____
“ I love scary animals,” says Gill. “I love being near them and touching them. Great white sharks come and
attack the bars of the cage. I touch them, but I don´t let them bite me!” There are more people like Gill than
you might think. They leave their offices and businesses to spend their free time doing extremely dangerous
things. Some of them fly jets across deserts or go diving in unexplored caves, while others explore African
rivers. All of them want to experience something more than their normal lives can offer, They want adventure.
2 ____
Bob Card is skydiving trainer. He teaches people to leap out of aeroplanes let themselves fall through the air
without opening their parachutes until the very last minute.
“ I believe there is an adventurer inside one of us,”, he says. “It doesn´t matter how old or strong you are. The
adventurer is there – it´s just hidden away somewhere. If you find that spirit, your life will take on new
meaning.”
One advantage of doing extreme sports to satisfy your need for adventure is that you can completely forget
about your everyday problems. As Bob says: “You can´t be concerned about business phone calls or
examination results when you´re jumping out of a plane.”
3 ____
How much danger can a person take? According to Sandra Quiggen, panic is rare, even when you come back
face to face with a bad-tempered hippopotamus on the Zambezi River. “You get scared,” she says. “Those
hippos have big teeth. But a little fear makes the brain work faster, as long as you don´t let it turn into panic.”
4 ____
There is an element of risk in all extreme sports. “If you don´t do things right, you are asking for trouble,” says
Card. But training and proper equipment help to make these sports safer. The difference between extreme
sport and “normal” sport is that, although there are organized competitions for these sports, more extreme
sports people are interested in testing their own abilities than in winning prizes. In fact, most of them would
agree with mountaineer Sir Edmund Hilary´s reply when asked why he wanted to climb Everest: “ Because it´s
there.”

7) can be true (T) about people who do extreme sports.

1 They are terrified. T

2 They enjoy adventure. T

3 They can be of any age. T


