Read this paragraph about Naomi and answer the question.

I’m Naomi. I have never been to another country. I’ve never seen an airplane. I’ve never seen the sea. But I know them through pictures that the teacher showed me. I live in a village near a forest, in the mountains. I’m 13. I’ve lived here since I was born.

There are many wild animals in the forest but I’m not afraid of them. During a winter there is snow and the trees in the forest get white. It’s very cold and it is hard to stay outside. In the summer, the days are not hot and I can go fishing.

Quando falamos em esportes radicais, estamos falando de esportes de aventura. Uma das características desses esportes é a capacidade de causar a aceleração da adrenalina nas pessoas, portanto, causando momentos de excitação, prazer e emoção.

 Read the text to answer the question.

 

                                                                                    Adrenaline

Adrenaline is a hormone that our bodies secrete in moments of excitement or danger. It is responsible for helping us perform incredible feats that we wouldn’t be able to do under normal circumstances. Adrenaline is what makes a mother able to lift a car to save her baby, for example. And it’s what helps someone who never exercises run down ten flights of stairs when trying to escape a fire.

Adrenaline, in other words, can save our lives. Because of adrenaline, we have the energy we need to fight back run away when we’re in danger.

Our bodies don’t release adrenaline only when we’re in danger. Adrenaline is also released in situations that make us excited, like when we’re on a roller coaster or doing an extreme sport for the first time. Adrenaline can also be released when we’re in high pressure situations, like studying for a very important test or making a speech in front of a lot of people.

So think back to a time when you were afraid, excited or nervous. Did you have extra energy or a sudden ability to do something you didn’t know you could do? If so, you can thank adrenaline.
