EXERCISE 3

In winter, the Dangerous Sports Club holds a race 1in the Alps, in which competitors ski 2down ski-slope 3on unusual objects. Competitors have raced sitting 4on the toilet, 5in a boat, and sitting 6at a piano (while playing it!). A group of Oxford University students formed the club 7in 1977 to add excitement to their lives. They invented sports and events that were dangerous, and original and funny. Their first event was a tea party 8on a small rock 9inthe middle of the Atlantic Ocean. One member of the club crossed the sea 10from England 11to France 12inside an inflatable kangaroo, and another flew a tiny plane 13aboVe London while dressed as a gorilla and playing the saxophone. The Dangerous Sports Club’s greatest idea was bungee jumping. They got the idea from Pacific islanders, who dive 14off a high tower with a rope tied 15around / into their leg. Four members of the club did the first bungee jump in 1979.
