ARTHUR

Owen awoke with a start and knew immediately that something had changed. The air in the Crystal Cave was electrified with some strange kind of excitement, and as he fully woke up, he started to be afraid. He sat up and looked around him, but everything seemed normal. His father’s magic potions bubbled away on the fire with their usual strong herbal smell. There were many books, herbs and stones with magic signs lying on the big oak table that was in the centre of the room. Owen jumped down from his hard bed that was cut into the wall of the cave, and as he did so his father turned to look at him.

“Come here, my son”, he said quietly.

Owen crossed the cave to where his father was looking at the wild sea below, and stood quietly beside him.

“Is something wrong, Father?” he asked.

The famous wizard Merlin smiled at his son and said: “No, my boy, nothing is wrong, in fact I think everything is right at last.”

“How so?” asked the boy, confused.

Merlin was silent for a moment or two as he stared out of the Crystal Cave to the angry sea far below, and he turned once again to his son and whispered, with suppressed excitement, “He is here, Owen. The boy, he is here on Welsh soil at last.”

“Which boy, Father?” Owen asked quietly, although he already knew the answer.

“The BOY, the future king Arthur, of course”, his father repeated. “The last of the Welsh Pendragon kings is here on Welsh soil at last. Our exile is almost at an end; he had come to save us once and for all.”

MEET EARL, THE GATEKEEPER TO PARADISE

1 Paradise, population one, one of the roughest roads in the US West. This 163km primitive dirt track winds through the largest wilderness area in the continental US, climbing over steep mountains and crossing snow-fed streams along the Montana and Idaho border.

2 Along with his dogs, 64 year-old Earl is the only permanent resident during summer. He is the National Forest's camp host, welcoming the hikers, hunters, fishermen and river rafters. While his primary responsibility is handing out permits to boaters on the Selway River, he also gives free advice on the must-see trails through the wilderness. And if you offer him a second cup of coffee, he'll entertain you with stories of windsurfing in Puerto Rico, kayaking in New Mexico or a few of his other varied adventures around the globe.

3 A retired industrial electrician, Earl has spent nearly three decades backpacking the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, often using Paradise as a launch point. On one of his summer trips, the couple who used to host the Paradise campground told Earl they weren't coming back. “I asked how to apply for the job, and here I am. It's a dream come true,” Earl said. Earl sees it as a way to live a portion of the year in the place he loves best.

4 In return for volunteering, the US Forest Service (USFS) provides Earl with a small food stipend, a work truck and an 80-year-old, one-room log cabin. Earl leaves his other home on the banks of the Mississippi River and heads for Paradise as soon as the snow melts from the Magruder Corridor, which could be as early as May but often isn't until mid-June. His wife joins him for a portion of the summer, but she prefers to stay closer to their kids and grandkids.

5 Once he arrives, Earl gets to work. He cuts grass around the campsites and clears the trails of fallen branches. And – perhaps most importantly – he greets visitors, introducing them to the opportunities and potential dangers in the surrounding woods. He showed us photos from past expeditions, including several of him standing atop knife-edge cliffs.

6 Each week, Earl drives 100km each way to the nearest USFS office to collect a small stack of paper tags that he ties to each boat going down the river. Earl also reports daily on the river's flow level. After the Grand Canyon, the Selway is the second-most difficult river permit to obtain. Only one party is allowed to launch each day with a maximum of 16 people per group – a system put in place to protect the wilderness' natural resources as

9

well as its unique solitude.

7 During our three-day stay in Paradise we hiked, watched songbirds and caught snakes. Our son threw rocks in the river while we rested on sandy shores. But the highlight of the trip was chatting with Earl. His tales rivalled the scenery, bringing the wilderness and all of its human and animal characters to life. Next time we visit Paradise, I'll be sure to throw in more coffee and beer to share with Earl. The reward of his company is well worth the extra supplies.

TRUE FALSE

1. Paradise is a densely populated place.

2. Earl’s adventurous spirit took him to a number of foreign countries.

3. Earl’s backpacking trips frequently started in Paradise.

4. Were it not for the USFS provisions, Earl would look for an easier job.

5. Earl can’t wait for the snow to melt so that he can go to his favourite place.

6. Family ties keep Earl’s wife from joining him for the whole summer.

7. Earl’s duties at the camp are varied.


8. Why does the author plan to bring more supplies next time?

3.1 Read the text below and decide which word (A, B, C or D) best fits each space. There is

an example at the beginning.

PARENTS SPEND AS MUCH TIME ON SCREENS AS TEENS

Parents of tweens and teens spend about nine hours 0______D_____ day using screens,

according to a new report. The study surveyed 1,786 parents across 1___________ United

States. Many of the parents say they are concerned about their 2___________

relationships with technology. They worry that their children are spending too much time on

their screens and not getting enough physical exercise, and that they may become

3___________ to their phones. However, a majority of the parents surveyed also

4___________ themselves as modeling good behavior for their children.

The report comes from Common Sense, an organization that works to support the

5___________ of children in the digital age. The director of research, Michael Robb, thinks

it is “fair to say” that the adults seem to have their noses in their phones just as

6___________ as their teens, who range in age from 13 to 18 years old. While adults stare

at computers more often because of work, the report found that much of their time in front

of a screen was spent 7___________ other activities. About 48% of the parents who

8___________ in the study said they send texts while at work, 38% said they use social

media, and 33% watch TV shows. Other activities include playing video games and browsing

websites. “We’re not trying to make parents feel 9___________,” says Robb. “But we are

trying to make 10___________ more aware.”

This latest challenge means that Lecomte will need to swim 5,500 miles to make it to San

Francisco. He will swim for an average of eight hours a day, resting and eating on the

Discoverer. “The challenge is to keep your mind sane and to be focused. It’s mind over
