bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump

These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly However, nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports

Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become overexcited If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities

It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher arousal levels It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal by testing your nervous system A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue If you produce a lot of saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level of arousal; if you produce little of saliva, you probably have a low arousal level If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!

D Because they had taken drugs which led to the production of these two hormones

56 What two possible reasons are given for some people’s desire to participate in dangerous sports? A A lack of common sense, and a high level of arousal

B A low level of arousal, and an inborn desire for adventure

C The pleasure that results from the production of nor adrenaline, and a low level of arousal

D A desire to show off, and a lack of common sense

57 What dose the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists? A A high temperature

B A low temperature

C A certain level of arousal D A sense of safety

58 Why psychologists believe that people with a high level of arousal try to avoid danger?

A Because they already have the level of excitement which the brain tries to maintain

B Because they are more aware of the dangers involved

59 What is shown by putting lemon juice on your tongue?

A It shows that you have a high level of arousal if no saliva is produced

B It indicates your level of arousal by amount of saliva that is produced

C It can indicate whether your saliva is more acidic or more alkaline D It is a good test of your sense of taste

60 What kinds of substances are adrenaline and nor adrenaline?

A Subatomic particles B Minerals C Vitamins D Hormones

61 What substances is thought to stimulate the brain to make us feel pleasure?

A Adrenaline B Nor adrenaline C Lemon juice D Manganese dioxide

62 Which of the following does adrenaline do?

A It weakens the muscles B It makes people afraid

C It makes the heart beat more quickly D It makes the heart beat more slowly

63 Where were the parachutists when, according to the passage, they produced large amount of the two hormones?

A On an airplane B In the air C On the ground D At sea
