Risk taking

Part A
Risk takers know something bad can happen, but they don't worry about
it.  A skydiver--a person who jumps from an airplane as a sport—is an
example of a risk taker.  Of course, it can be dangerous to jump from
an airplane.  But a risk take enjoys this type of danger.  Did you
understand this first paragraph?

Psychologists—scientists who study the human mind—say that most risk
takers become bored easily.  So they enjoy the excitement of a risk.
Who takes risks?  Psychologists say males usually take more risks that
females.  The greatest risk takers are teenage males. Did you

Part B
Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers.  However, we all
like some excitement in our lives. In face, most people are risk
takers in some way.  Some people take social risks, such as speaking
in front of a large group of people or talking to someone you don't
know at a party.  Some people take financial risks, such as buying a
house.  Other people take career risks, such as leaving their job and
starting their own business.  Studies show that most people take risks
in some area of their life. What kind of risk taker are you? Did you
understand this paragraph?

Questions
1.  What do most people want in their lives?


2.   What are some of the types of risks people take?


3.  What do studies show about all of us?
