Polar purpose

In 1997, a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. Who were these women and how did they succeed where others failed?

In 1995 an advertisement about a selection for the expedition was put in several British newspapers. Nearly one hundred women took part in the first selection weekend and then twenty women were chosen. The youngest of these was twenty-one and the oldest was fifty-one. In the group there was a mother of triplets, a teacher and even a film producer.

They were a mixed group but they all really wanted to take part in the adventure and make it a success. Each of the women agreed to raise the £2500 needed for the expenses and the airfare to Canada, where the expedition began. They also committed themselves to following an intensive physical training programme before leaving the UK. The women set off as soon as they were ready.

Once in the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging 50 kilos of baggage. This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface, but for long stretches, the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge blocks two or three metres high. The temperature was always below freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was so easy to lose their necessary stuff. Also, it was very difficult to put up their tents when they stopped each night.

In such conditions the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day. But there was another problem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift back more than five kilometers during the night. So they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it would take three hours from waking up to set off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal. All these conditions weakened woman's bodies and mind.

So, how did they manage to succeed? They realised that they were part of a team. Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was the mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.

1) What was so extraordinary about the expedition?

        a)        There was no one to lead it.

        b)        The women did not have any men with them.

        c)        It was a new experience for most of the women.

        d)        The women had not met one another before.

2) What did the women who answered the advertisement have in common?

        a)        They were about the same age.                 c) They all had plenty of money.

        b)        They had all suffered pain and discomfort.        d) They all wanted to achieve a goal.

3) What does underlined ‘these’ refer to?

        a)        all the women                                         c) the women who went on the trip

        b)        the training expeditions                                d) the unsuitable women

4) What did each woman have to do before the start of the expedition?

        a)        visit Canada                                         c) learn to ski

        b)        get fit                                                        d) meet the other women

5) On the expedition, the women had to be careful to avoid

        a) falling over on the ice.         

        b) being left behind.        

        c) losses of the instruments and the equipment.        

        d) getting too cold at night.

6) It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometres a day because

        a)        they got too tired and exhausted.                 c) they kept getting lost.

        b)        the ice was moving.                                d) the temperatures were too low.

7) What is the main message of the text?

        a)        Motivation and teamwork achieve goals.

        b)        Women can do anything they want.

        c)        It is sometimes good to experience difficult conditions.

        d)        Arctic conditions are very difficult.

8) The best alternative title for the text is

        a) Discovery of the Nord Pole

        b) Staying fit in modern life

        c) The team of the housewives

        d) Brave dreamers

Newsreader:

This is the 6 o'clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines:

The Prime Minister has promised to help the drought stricken farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after take-off. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne over a pay claim and the strike looks set to spread to other states. And on a fashionable note, there’s to be a new look for the staff of QANTAS, Australia’s national airline.

The Prime Minister has stated today that he will make two hundred and fifty million dollars available to help the farmers who have not seen rain for years, get through the next five years. Money that were planned for the re-structuring of Sydney’s road system has been re-allocated to the farmers. Farmers are to receive financial assistance to help see them through the worst drought in over 50 years. Many farmers feel that while the money is welcome it has come too late to save them and their farms from financial ruin.

A group of school children who were travelling in a privately chartered aeroplane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert found themselves swimming for the shore when their aeroplane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the boys. The fact that it was a weekend meant that there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. 'We owe our lives to the skill of the pilot,' said one of the boys, but the pilot replied modestly that it was ‘a part of a day’s work’. However, all their musical instruments were lost and the children never got to play at their concert.
