The Lost World

Somewhere deep in the rainforests of South America lies a mysterious place that time has forgotten and this is where our expedition was heading. For two days we travelled up a large Line 5 river, dark in colour, yet transparent, so that one could see the bottom. On either side of the river was thick jungle; the trees were incredibly tall and

thick and they seemed to shoot upwards in magnificent columns forming a green roof far above our heads. Occasionally, if I looked up, I saw a ray of sunshine through the green branches. As we walked noiselessly through the thick soft carpet of vegetation, a silence fell upon us and even Professor Challengers loud voice sank into a whisper. We passed amazing plantlife: vivid orchids and clusters of flowers curled around ancient tree trunks it was like a fairyland. There was no sign of animal life on the ground, but a constant movement above our heads told us that there existed another world inhabited by monkeys, birds and snakes. At dawn and sunset the monkeys screamed and the parakeets screeched, but during the long slow hours of the day, the buzz of insects, like the crashing of waves, filled our ears. On our third day, we heard something that terrified us. A deep rhythmic beating in the air. Our Indian companions froze with terror; it was as if they had been turned into bronze statues. What is it? I asked. War drums, replied Challenger. Yes, sir, war drums, said our guide Gomez. Wild Indians. They are watching us. They will kill us if they can. The drums continued beating throughout the day. Sometimes they beat quickly, sometimes slowly, at one point, one far to the east let out a high, fast beat, which was quickly followed by a deep roll coming from the north. They were communicating with each other through the drum beats. There was something terribly threatening about those sounds; they seemed to form an endless repetition of Gomezs words, We will kill you if we can.We will kill you if we can. All day we heard the beating of the drums. I learnt that day that despite their constant quarrelling, both Professor Challenger and Professor Summerlee were extremely brave men. While the other members of the group, myself included, shivered with fear, those two men observed and commented happily on the wealth of wildlife that existed in that place. That night we made camp and prepared ourselves for an attack. Nothing came, and as the dawn approached we moved on, leaving the frightening drumbeat behind us. We carried on up the river until we arrived at a shallow stream with a sandy bottom. On either side of it, there was thick luxuriant vegetation. The vegetation overhead formed a natural arch and through this golden tunnel flowed the green river. The river was beautifully coloured by the vivid sunlight from above filtering through the green archway. For three days we travelled through this tunnel of green sunshine until the stream became too shallow and we had to continue on foot. We walked up and up a rocky slope until an open plain came into view. That night we caught a small pig-like animal, half of which was given to the Indians, while our share was slowly roasted over a fire. It was a moonless night with a few stars. We huddled close to the warmth of the fire; our mouths were watering at the thought of our meal when suddenly out of the darkness something flew into our camp. I felt leathery wings touch my skin and caught a glimpse of red, greedy eyes, a long snakelike neck and razor-sharp teeth. Then, with a flap of wings the monster was gone and so was our dinner.

he area now known as the United States of America was not an unpopulated wilderness before the arrival of European settlers. Among those who were already living off the land were the Cheyenne, one of several tribes of Native Americans. Like other tribes, such as the Sioux and the Navajo, they were put under a lot of pressure to change both where and how they lived.

Four hundred years ago the Cheyenne, whose name means little red-talker, were based in the Eastern Woodlands. Unusually for Native American tribes, they were farmers, planting corn and beans rather than hunters. However, by the middle of the nineteenth century this had changed, and the Cheyenne had developed a horse culture and hunted bison on the Great Plains. Traditionally, the chiefs or elders of the Cheyenne were organised into the Council of Forty-Four. They had rules for everyday life, warfare, celebrations and ceremonies. One thing that made the Cheyenne different from other tribes, which were exclusively patriarchal, was that women were far more active in tribal affairs. In twenty-first century America, many Cheyenne live in exactly the same way as do most people in big cities. However, there is another option for those who want to keep their traditional way of life. This is to live on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeast Montana, or on the Southern Cheyenne Reservation in central Oklahoma. The combined population of the Cheyenne is presently near to 20,000. 1. When did the Cheyenne migrate to the Great Plains? a. around 1850 b. more than four hundred years ago c. as soon as the Europeans arrived in America d. in this century 2. What does the word they refer to in line 7? a. the Sioux and the Navajo b. the Cheyenne c. several Native American tribes d. the European settlers 3. Where would a Cheyenne who wanted a traditional way of life prefer to live? a. on a reservation b. in a big city c. anywhere in Montana d. on the Great Plains 4. Which of the following is not true? a. Europeans were not the first people to live in the US. b. Today some Cheyenne live on reservations. c. The Cheyenne have always lived in the same place. d. Women in Cheyenne communities had a higher status than in other tribes. 5. What is the purpose of the text? a. to give a personal account of changes in a lifestyle b. to protest against the treatment of Native Americans c. to give some general information about a Native American tribe d. to explain why the Cheyenne population is very low
