Bungee jumping is not a new activity. Men on Pentecost Island in the South Pacific have been doing land jumping for hundreds of years. The men tie long vines(藤) from plants around their ankles（踝关节）. They spend days building tall towers out of vines and logs(圆木). Then they jump off them.
According to their beliefs, the first land diver was a woman. She decided to run away from her rude husband. So she climbed up a tall tree and tied some vines around her feet. Her husband also climbed up the tree and tried to catch her, but the woman jumped and the man followed. The vines saved her life, but her husband died.
This ancient custom caught the interest of some students at Oxford University in England. In the late 1970s, they formed a group called the Dangerous Sports Club. They were some of the first people to test several of what are now called extreme sports. They are said to have invented modern bungee jumping.
In the spring of 1979, members of the group jumped off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. They were attached to the bridge by a bungee cord, a long elastic rope that stretches. The group soon received even more attention when they organized a bungee jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.
A man named A. J. Hackett of New Zealand decided to make the sport into a business. He started developing bungee ropes and material with a friend. They held a major jump in 1987 off the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. They later got permission to open the first bungee jumping operation on the Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown, New Zealand. Many people paid 75 dollars to jump off the bridge with a bungee cord attached to their ankles.

1. Wang Ying is among the 313 college graduates employed by Changxing county(县) of Zhejiang province. She is now a village official in Gangkou village. recently，she was awarded the  agricultural pacemaker’s prize of Zhejiang province because she took villagers to a new level in modern agricultural development.

  2. However, she had a tough time when she first came here. Wang Ying says, “Our village was mainly based on traditional farming. Villagers had little knowledge about modern agriculture. almost no one wanted to contract(订合同) the farming land when the new land system was first adopted(采纳、引进) in 2008 —I thought it was my responsibility（义务）to change the situation.”

3. That was not an easy job. Most villagers did not trust her at the beginning because she was a college graduate with no experience in agriculture. She came up with the idea that village officials took the lead to contract part of the farming land. And Wang Ying borrowed 20,000 yuan from her parents to take part in the investment.
