    Professor Mallory invited the narrator to join an expedition to find the Lost City of the Himalayas. Most of Mallory's colleagues did not believe the city ever existed or felt it had vanished. However, Mallory had discovered an ancient map and believed the city's builders had hidden it in the mountains long ago to protect gold mines. When their expedition set off, they climbed higher each day following the map until one afternoon a stranger on a horse waving at them from across a valley, their clothes shining like gold.

    REVIEW

    Put each verb in brackets into a suitable past tense.

    A few years ago, when Professor Mallory, the famous archaeologist, (1)_________________ (invite)
    me to take part in his expedition to find the Lost City of the Himalayas, I (2)_________________
    (not hesitate) to accept his invitation. Mallory told me that he (3)_________________ (discover) an
    ancient map showing the position of the city, although no European (4)_________________ (ever
    go) to the area before.

    In fact, most of Mallory’s colleagues in Oxford either (5)_________________ (believe) that the city
    (6)_________________(never exist) or (7)_________________(feel) that it (8)________________
    (vanish) long ago so it (9)_________________ (be) simply a legend.

    According to the Professor, however, the builders of the city (10)_________________ (hide) it
    among the mountains in order to protect its rich gold mines. He also (11)_________________
    (believe) that the grandchildren of these ancient people (12)_________________ (still keep)
    themselves apart from the rest of mankind for the very same reasons.

    When we (13)_________________ (set off) on a cool May morning towards the distant mountains,
    each of us (14)_________________ (look forward) to exciting discoveries. For a week or more we
    (15)_________________ (climb) higher and higher, following the map, which, Mallory
    (16)_________________ (study) from time to time to time. Then one afternoon, while we
    (17)_________________ (rest) at the top of a valley, we (18)_________________ (notice) that a
    strange rider on a horse (19)_________________ (wave) at us from the other side of the valley. A
    rider whose clothes (20)_________________ (shine) like gold!
