LIVING ON THE EDGE
Some people ski down mountains. Others climb huge rocks or photograph dangerous animals. Why do people enjoy risky activities like these?
THRILL SEEKERS
Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good. Psychologist Marvin Zuckerman says that thrill seekers are always looking for change and excitement. When people do something new or risky, a chemical in the brain creates a pleasant feeling. Thrill seekers love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.
GOAL-DRIVEN RISK-TAKERS
Other people don’t take risks for the thrill but to achieve a goal. For example, conservationist Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000-mile expedition in central Africa. He worked to help save the wildlife there. Fay’s expeditions helped create 13 national parks.
PROFESSIONAL RISK-TAKERS
For other people, such as extreme athletes, taking risks is part of their job. Sports psychologist Shane Murphy says extreme athletes see the world differently. In a dangerous activity such as skydiving, most people probably do not feel in control. Extreme athletes are different: They feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can even help them. For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed.
EVERYDAY RISK-TAKERS
Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers. However, we still take risks in our lives. Some of us take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people, or talking to people we don’t know at a party. Sometimes we take financial risks, such as buying a house. And sometimes we take career risks, such as leaving a job or starting a business. Most people take risks in some areas of life, but not in others. What kind of risk-taker are you?

RISK-TAKERS
TEENAGE ROCK CLIMBER
Ashima Shiraishi is still in high school, but she’s one of the best climbers in the world. In rock climbing, climbers use ropes and other equipment to climb large rocks. In bouldering, participants climb rocks up to six meters high without any special equipment, so they have to be very strong.
Bouldering has difficulty ratings from V0 to V16. In 2016, Shiraishi climbed a level V15 boulder called Horizon. She was only the second person to climb it. And at 14 years old, she was also the youngest person, and the first female climber.
Shiraishi knows that the sport is dangerous – she once fell more than 10 meters while climbing indoors – but she continues to climb in the most difficult places around the world. Why does she do it? “My dream is to keep on pushing myself, and, maybe, I will push the sport itself,” Shiraishi says. “I feel like if people are expecting me to do this, eventually, I will.”
UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER
Brian Skerry is an underwater photojournalist. As part of his job, Skerry travels the world and goes diving with dangerous sea animals. To get the best photos, Skerry needs to get as close as possible – even if it’s dangerous.
While diving in New Zealand, Skerry found himself swimming next to a right whale. It was the size of a city bus. “Nobody is going to believe this,” thought Skerry. “I’ve got to get this picture!” He swam fast so he didn’t lose the whale, but he quickly became tired and had to stop. Surprisingly, the whale stopped as well. It waited for him and then began to follow him around. “It was like swimming around with a friend,” Skerry says.
Why does Skerry take these risks? He hopes his photographs will make people think about life in the world’s oceans. “The oceans are in real trouble,” he says. “As a journalist, the most important thing I can do is to bring awareness.”

Pregunta 5 of 28
5. Pregunta
A
We all like stories of people who follow their dreams and find success. Some of them have to take risks to achieve their goals. The famous musician and singer Psy is a good example of this.
B
Psy’s real name is Park Jae-sang. He grew up in a rich neighborhood in South Korea. His father was the chairman of a company that made electronic parts, and his mother owned several restaurants. His father wanted him to run the company after he retired, so Jae-sang went to Boston University in the US to study business. You might think that was a good situation for Jae-sang, but it wasn’t what he really wanted to do.
C
While in the US, Jae-sang realized that he wasn’t interested in working for his father’s company. What he actually wanted was to be a musician. His parents weren’t happy with his decision, but he quit school and spent his money on music equipment. He started music college to improve his skills, but he dropped out again and returned to South Korea to be a singer. He chose “Psy” as his performing name.
D
Even as a musician, Psy took risks. He didn’t look like other musicians, and he had a very new way of dancing. The words to his songs and his music style were also unique, but Koreans found something exciting about the strange new singer. Then, in 2012, his big moment arrived. His song Gangnam Style was a huge hit all over the world with millions of views on YouTube. For Jae-sang, giving up the chance of a good job in his father’s company to follow a dream was definitely the right choice.
