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所。
——迈克弗罗

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 Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.

2________________________________
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 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.

Q1:What steps has the Swedish government taken to keep Sarek in its natural state?

3___________________________________
For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since 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 their 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. ......

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.Is it worth making a place like Sarek a national park?
The significance of building a national park
◆ keep the land in its natural state(保持土地的自然状态)

Discuss the questions below in small groups.
Critical Thinking
In the 19th Party Congress(十九大报告), Xi Dada puts it: We need to ensure harmony between human and nature.
We need mountains of gold and silver, but we also need green mountains and waters more.
我们既要绿水青山,也要金山银山。
2. Do you think setting up national parks is an effective way to balance development and the protection of nature? Why or why not?
Discuss the questions below in small groups.
Critical Thinking
Yes, it is an effective way. Only a very small part of the world has been set aside for national parks, so there are still plenty of places that can be developed without having to touch the most beautiful and interesting natural spots.
