Cree Indians lived in Canada. Indians were always heroes in the old Hollywood films. [] Some Indians still live on reservations. 2 2 Read the text again carefully, Then imagine you are one of Gordon's children and answer the questions on the right. Outsiders Gordon Byce is a Canadian Indian. As a child in the white ‘man’s world, he found being an outsider tonsa lovely experience. My mother was a Cree Indian whose family moved across Canada to Ontario around the tum of the century, My father worked on the railroad which passed through Ontario, which is how he met my mother. When Iwas growing up, I always felt that there was something wrong with me. If we were playing cowboys and Indians, I never wanted to be Sitting Bull or Crazy Horse; I'd rather be Roy Rogers, Hollywood movies had something to do with that - no one cheered for the Indians. ‘Indian’ was a name used in error by Christopher Columbus because he believed he had sailed, not to North America, but around the world to India, There are about 300,000 Indians registered in Canada today. Tracts of land called reserves have been set aside for them to live on if they choose. But the Indian is caught up in a no-man’s land when he tries to adjust to the white man's society. He finds he belongs in neither that world nor his own. He comes from a culture where people cooperate rather than compete and he is just too vulnerable. 1 guess I made it in the white man’s world because I went away to college and never let anyone know I was an Indian. It took mea long time to feel how I do now about the Indian part of me. * His children have never had to suffer the same sort of treatment as he did. ‘No, we don’t have any hang ups; they {old me. 'Dad’s been telling us about our heritage and for us it’s interesting ~ a romantic sort of thing. We are proud of our ded’ 1 Where did your father grow up? 2. Why did he feel different from the other children in his town? 3. Why didn’t he want to play an Indian when all the kids played cowboys and Indians? 4 Why are Native Americans called ‘Indians’? 5 When your dad was at college, why did people treat him the same asa white man? 6 How do people treat you? Does it worry you that your grandmother asa Cree Indian? Why (not)? 3 Write questions for these answers using information from the text, 1 Working on the railroad, That there was something wrong with him, Christopher Columbus. About 300,000. Because he never let anyone know he was an Indian, No, they aren’t embarrassed. They're proud of him. Grammar 4 Underline the correct verb from each of the pairs given.

In writing about her new life she has made errors with negative forms, Write the sentences again correctly, without changing the words underlined. 1 When we arrives nobody. When we arrived in America reo years ago, America to years ago, we didn’t know knew nobody. 2. We emigrated because my father couldn't no longer earn enough from trapping seals and selling furs. 3 People worry about cruelty to animals so no one doesn’t want to buy fur products any more. 4 [hadn't never been to a large city before I came here. 5. Many American kids never learn nothing about the Inuit people in school. 6 They're always surprised when I tell them'we live in houses. ‘Do younot all live in igloos then?" they always ask. 7 Nobody doesn’t believe that a 15-year-old like me can set traps, skin seals, drive a snowmobile and boat, and shoot a rifle! 8 When I described all the things I used to do in my village, they old me do not talk rubbish!

Jack shot and injured the 6 The man was eventually captured. ["] o The Stranger We found him sitting by the fireside, smiling, wet and cold, I climbed up to my place at the breakfast table and stared at him. To me he did not appear to be like a man, more like a collection of woodland things. His face was red and crushed- looking. There were leaves in the mud in his hain, and leaves and little bits of stick on his rotting clothes, and all over him. “You oughtn't to live like that,’ said Mother. ‘You ought to get back to your home. ‘No,’ smiled the man. ‘That wouldn't be sensible. They'd very quickly take me. He wasn’t a tramp. He had four bright medals in his pocket, and he used to polish them and put them on the table like money. We children couldn't understand many of his words, But Mother seemed to understand him and she'd look at the photographs he carried in his shirt, and sigh and shake her head. He sometimes talked about battles, and about flying in the air, and it, ‘was all wonderful to us. He had appeared on the doorstep early one morning, asking for a cup of tea. He told us he ‘was sleeping in the wood — which seemed to me a good idea. ‘The man did not look like a soldier. He had a beard, and his khaki was torn. But the girls were sure that he was a soldier, and said it in whispers, like a secret. And when he came down to our house and sat with bent shoulders by the fire, covered with leaves and dirt, I thought of hhim sleeping up there in the wood. I imagined him sleeping, then taking a turn at the battle, then coming down to us for a cup of tea. He was the war, and the war was up there. I wanted to ask, ‘How's the war in that wood” But he never told us. He sat there drinking his tea. When he saw us looking at him, he smiled from his beard. And when my brother Jack aimed a spoon at him and shot him, saying ‘T'm a soldier’, he replied softly, ‘Aye, and you'd be a better soldier than me, any day’ When he said that, I wondered what had happened to the war. Were his clothes all torn because he was such a bad soldier? Had he lost the war in the wood? When’ he didn't come any more, I knew he had lost it. The girls said some policemen had taken him away in a cart. And Mother sighed and was sad over the poor man. 39 Grammar 3 in some of the sentences below the adjectives are in’the wrong order.

Some of Sigmund Freud, an Austrian psychiatrist, laid the foundations for modern theories about what dreams might mean. According to him, our minds are full of pictures and thoughts which even we don’t know about. Just as an iceberg lies hidden below the sea, with only the top visible above the surface of the water, so our minds have the part wo know about, called the conscious, and, (5), another whole part called the unconscious.

But what about children who have no memory of living in society? In. this text, we read the strange tale of the ‘wild children’, lost in the forests and jungles of the world and 5 adopted by animals. Until the great forests of Europe were swept away in modern times, there were a number of reports of wolves, which, despite 1) apparently acted as guardians of children lost there. Nowadays, stories of wild 10. animals adopting human children often come from Asia (where the Jungle Book stories of Mowgli are set). In 1973, for ‘example, a boy was found in Sri Lanka in the company of monkeys, moving on all fours and making barking noises. The wolf children of Midnapore were found in 1920, curled 15 up in a ball with young wolves, after the mother wolf had been shot, The two girls, aged about three and eight, were thought not to be sisters. How had they come to be there? They were taken to an orphanage, and named Amala and Kamala (which are both names of flowers). However, (2)! They snarled and growled at humans. They would eat only raw meat, gulping it down like dogs. Kamala used her hands like paws and could run very fast on all fours. These girls were like night creatures, never sleeping after midnight. When they did sleep it was on top of each other like puppies, and with knees up to their chests, 25 even when lying on their backs. Despite @), Kamala did eventually learn to wall upright, eat food normally, and speak a few words. Wild children often develop special characteristics such as the velvety skin of the ‘Midnapore girls, who didn't seem to feel the cold. They often have very acute hearing 80. and, in addition, (4). Smiling is a human form of communication, learned from a mother, and because of this ©). Experience suggests that well-meaning adulis need to think hard before taking ‘these children from the wild.
