(1)More and more young athletes are taking part in risky, adventurous activities called "extreme sports", or "X-sports". Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible.
(2)In the past, young athletes would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement—the closer to the edge the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They windsurf near hurricanes, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungee-jump from towers.
(3)Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing. An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island. It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboards attached to their feet.
(4)What makes extreme sports so popular? "People love the excitement," says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. "City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new e-quipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt." An athlete adds, "Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal. Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. It’s just too boring."
(5)Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend a group of friends in their early 30s get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.
(6)Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play baseball or basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.
What do we know about Murray Nussbaum’s attitude towards extreme sports?
选项
A、He finds them challenging.
B、He is excited about them.
C、He finds them risky.
D、He is being neutral.
答案
D
解析
根据题干的Murray Nussbaum定位到第4段。原文前半部分都是Murray Nussbaum说的话,但是他说的都是“别人”对极限运动的看法,没有表明自己对极限运动是什么态度,因此,本题应选D。
