Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glacier. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami
28、 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
29、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. Careful ReadingTask1 A Land of Mountains and Ice What steps has the Swedish governmen
30、t 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 reindeers 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 the
31、ir 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. I am not
32、a Sami, but in Sarek Ive adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
