Task 1

In this interview with a young adventurer and adventure writer Gary Paulsen all the questions have been removed. Match the questions and the answers, and put the letters in the boxes at the bottom of the page. There is one extra letter that you do not need. There is an example for you.

Meet Gary Paulsen

Meet adventure writer and master storyteller Gary Paulsen, who has raced twice in the Iditarod (it is a trail sled dog race). This and Paulsen's many other experiences in the outdoors and growing up have shaped his writing about life.

PART 1.

0.       ____________________________________________________

Happy that you've finished the race at all and totally, bone-tired exhausted. Most of all, though, I felt so proud and thankful to the dogs for all the hard work they had done. They are the real athletes of the race.

1.       ____________________________________________________

The dogs eat meat. I got a donation of outdated meat from local grocery stores where I lived that I would grind up into sort of a paste that I could freeze and later thaw for the dogs. Also, I would go to the slaughterhouses and buy what was not human edible for the dogs — disgusting stuff, really, but the dogs loved it.

2.       ____________________________________________________

You have to know how strong each dog is and how hard they'll work for you and what bothers them. But it took about 18 months of intensive training (and by that I mean long runs, constantly, just going home to change dogs and then heading out into the bush again) to get me and the team ready for the Iditarod.

3.       ____________________________________________________

Staying awake, staying warm, looking after the dogs who are after all, what the race is all about. That's the most important thing and probably the biggest challenge and most crucial aspect of the race — to look after the dogs.

4.       ____________________________________________________

The dogs, definitely. They're wonderful. They know about running and they have such stamina and heart and they're fascinating people to get to know. I've always thought of dogs as people –they have personalities and likes and dislikes and humor and anger and great heart and spirit.

 5.       ____________________________________________________

It’s really tough. You have to keep an eye on the dogs, so you catch a few quick winks here and there — sometimes even when you're running, just standing there on the sled you fall asleep for a few seconds here and there.

6.       ____________________________________________________

Actually, I have had some problems with heart disease that prevent me from training as hard as I would need to. I'm fine and currently living on a sailboat in the Sea of Cortez as I make plans to sail around Cape Horn, but the race would be, I think, too much.

A  What do you feel after you finish the race and don't come in first?
B Would you ever do the Iditarod again? Why or why not?

C What do you feed your dogs during a race and where do you get the food?

D How long did it take you to train your dogs?

E What is the best thing about racing?
F Where and how do you sleep on the trail?
G What is the biggest challenge of all in the Iditarod?
