A national park is an area of land that is protected by the government for people to visit because of its natural beauty and historical or scientific interest.
A national park is not a playground. It’s a sanctuary for nature and for humans who will accept nature on nature’s own terms.
—Michael Frome
国家公园不是游乐场。它是自然的庇护所,也为愿意接受自然本来面貌的人类提供庇护。

A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
1___________________________________________________
I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a.m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge…

Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territory their home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek…on grass.

After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again…If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.

I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a.m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in the Sarek National Park , a place with no roads or towns.

A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
极昼,polar day,在地球两级地区,一日之内,太阳都在地平线以上的现象。每年六月初到七月初,北半球会出现极昼。

Para 2 A land of Mountain and Ice
Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territory their home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here and all new development is banned within park boundaries. At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible. Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass.

Para 3 Man at peace with Nature
For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, the bones for tools, and their skins for making clothes and tents. Since the reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.

Para.3
After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again. Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday,
it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. However, I cannot complain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive. Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better?
1. How did the author feel about the adventure?
tired
enjoyable
2. Why does the writer think the sweat and hard work is worth it?
It is a beautiful and wild place, and the writer is enjoying a great adventure.
Actually, it’s a rhetorical question that demands no answer. Instead, it’s more of the writer’s exclamation that he/she is having a great experience.
