答案
The attractions of dangerous activities
People engage themselves in dangerous activities for various reasons, which probably includes money, pleasure, and perhaps ironically, nescience.
Perhaps the most direct drive might come from money, which is needed for everyone, any time and everywhere. People have enough wit to balance their certain choices, especially when they face danger and money. Those stunt men or women in Hollywood movies, photographers who shoot sharks or crocodiles, or those who participate in stock car racing, are always sophisticated enough to calculate whether the outcome outweighs the risk. If they are willing to take the risk, they must have evaluated it well. They know exactly the rule: the more risks they take, the more they might get.
There also is another kind of people in the world. Money is of almost no importance to them. They perform dangerous activities just for their own pleasure. Perhaps the most appropriate example involves sports. Actually every kind of sports is dangerous, and even can be deadly. Danger always exists, but people tend to simply ignore it. Take parachuting for example, who can refuse the fascination of flying in the sky like a bird? On the other hand, it seems that danger itself makes the activity so fascinating as too hard to refuse. To conquer is the very nature of human being from the very beginning. Pheidippides said seconds before dropping dead two thousand years ago, "Rejoice, we conquer!" And it seems perfectly logical for some people that celebration follows conquer.
Ironically, sometimes blind bravery comes out of nescience. Sometimes people simply do not know the activity is hazardous or how perilous it exactly is. It can be exemplified by a recent incident. Five students (three of them have a master’s degree) lost their lives in a mountaineering expedition. Those students reportedly did not, as it seems highly probable, make an adequate preparation before the expedition, which made the tragedy ineluctable. People always praise alpinists with such words as strong, brave, courageous, but in this case none of these words is appropriate. Those young students traded their springtime with blind bravery, and died in vain.
