1 Unit 1: Travel and transport 9
2 Cloze procedure exercise Before people knew any other way to _1_, they used what nature gave them to move from one place to another - their feet. Travelling on foot however, was too _2_. It took weeks, months or even years to travel long _3_. Large animals such as mules and camels are _4_ enough to carry people on their backs and they don t become as tired as quickly as people do. So when men, women and children started to ride animals, they were able to travel long distances more _5_ than before. They were also able to travel long distances without becoming _6_. People have used whatever strong, easy-to-tame animals they found living in their _7_. They still use these beasts of burden for carrying things and pulling carts, _8_ and sleds. In the desert lands of Egypt and Syria, people use donkeys, oxen and _9_. Camels are especially good for _10_ travel. Deserts are dry. Camels can go without _11_ for long periods. Reindeer are fast in snow and can _12_ up to 136 kilograms. Llamas are good _13_ climbers. They carry things for the Indians of Peru in the Andes Mountains. The people of ancient Iran were the first to tame horses. Horses can move faster for a longer period of time than all other animals. In India elephants carry loads on their backs and even with their _14_. Eskimos near the North Pole train _15_ to pull sleds and carry light loads. Use the correct word from the letterbox to complete the paragraph. camels mountain trunks carry quickly wagons desert slow water distances strong dogs tired countries travel 10

4 Reading and speaking Man becomes waterborne In the beginning people moved from place to place on their own two feet. Sometimes they found their way blocked by a stream or river. One day, nobody knows when, someone saw a fallen tree floating down a river. He must have thought: Will that tree take my weight as well? Lying on the tree, using his arms and legs as paddles, he found it could carry him to the other side. Later men tried other means of water transport. Logs lashed together made a raft and a hollowed-out tree trunk a canoe. By spreading the skin of an animal to catch the wind, the sail was invented. The first seafarers in history who travelled great distances were the Phoenicians. Later came the Greeks and then the Romans who built their ships larger and larger and rowed them with many oars. Gradually ships were built even larger, sails replaced oars and more masts were added. Many fine and famous sailing ships were built such as the Mayflower and the Victory. But a threat to these fine sailing ships was on the way. Steam! The first successful steamboat was built in From the small, early steamships came the great liners* of the twentieth century such as the Mauritania, Queen Mary and the two Queen Elizabeths. And who can forget the tragic maiden voyage of the Titanic? Warships too, have grown steadily larger. In time, oil took the place of coal, then diesel and now, today, nuclear power. *liner = large passenger ship Comprehension and reading exercises 1. Scanning, vocabulary and word search. 2. Reading comprehension. Questions 1. Why was there a need for water transport even in ancient times? 2. According to the passage, how did our ancestors first manage to cross a stream? 3. What is the synonym for ancestor? 4. How did they make a raft? 5. How did they make canoes? 6. How were the first sails made? 7. How were the Romans ships different from those of the Phoenicians and Greeks? 8. What happened in 1801? 9. What do you know about the Titanic? 10. How are modern ships and submarines propelled? 12
5 Reading for knowledge The first boats Long ago, when people wanted to get across a river, they probably swam. Only the strongest swimmers would have been able to cross wide rivers. So they invented the raft - a simple platform that floats on water. In Egypt, for example, they tied bundles of sticks or heavy reeds together to make a raft. Early rafts were made by tying two logs together while the rider used his hands for paddling. Later he used a stick, which enabled him to move faster through the water. This is how the paddle was invented. The most famous raft in the world is the Kon-Tiki raft. It was built by Thor Heyerdahl, a Norwegian scientist, in It is a copy of rafts used by the people of the South Pacific. It is made of Balsa, a light wood that floats easily. Thor sailed this tiny raft thousands of kilometres across the Pacific Ocean. He went from South America to Polynesia, a group of islands south of Hawaii. Heyerdahl s voyage proved that people could have made the same trip by raft many years earlier. The first boats developed from rafts. To keep dry, the people turned up the sides of their reed rafts, thus inventing the saucer-shaped boat. Then people made longer, narrower boats. Long boats are easier to steer than round ones. The narrower shape also allows boats to move faster through water. Search reading Scan the paragraphs to find the answers to these questions: 1. A raft is a simple platform that... on water. 2. Early rafts were made by tying two... together. 3. The most famous raft in the world is the... raft. 4. Thor Heyerdahl built it in It was made of... wood, which is very light and floats easily. 13
6 Reading and writing All about canoes What is a canoe? A canoe is a long, narrow boat that is pointed at both ends. One, two or three people can sit in a canoe, facing the front, or bow. A paddle or paddles are used to move the canoe through the water and to steer it. Canoes were among the very first kinds of small boats. Who used canoes? The American Indians used canoes. They had two kinds - dugout and birch bark. The kind they used depended on where they lived. In the north where the birch trees grew, Indians made birch bark canoes. In other places they made dugouts. How canoes are made Dugout canoe A dugout canoe is made from a long, thick log. The canoe maker burned the middle of the log part of the way through. He then scraped or dug out the inside to make it hollow. This type of canoe is very heavy and can only move slowly through the water. They are very sturdy. Birch bark canoe A birch bark canoe is made of the bark, which is stripped from the birch trees. These strips are sewn together with tree roots as thread. The bark is then attached to a wooden frame. This type of canoe is much lighter than a dugout canoe. They can be carried easily from one stream to another. Are canoes still used today? Yes, people still use canoes. In certain places, such as Africa and the South Pacific, people still travel by canoe. In most other parts of the world, however, canoes are used mainly for fun. People use them on camping holidays or fishing trips. Today, most canoes are made by machine and not by hand. They are not all made of wood. Now some canoes are made of canvas, light metal, plastic or fibreglass. The kayak A kayak is the canoe Eskimos have been using for the past several thousand years. It is long and pointed like most canoes. The frame is made of wood or whalebone - the tough plates whales have instead of teeth. Sealskin is stretched tightly over it. The skin covers most of the frame. There is only a small opening for the paddler. Kayaks are very light so they are able to move quickly through the water. The South Pacific islanders still travel by canoe. 14
