Lesson
8 A famous monastery
著名的修道院
What
are the St. Bernard dogs used for?
The Great St
Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 247o metres, it is the highest
mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St Bernard, which was founded
in the eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St
Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass.
These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as
watch-dogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel has been built through the
mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent
out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new
tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on
foot
During the summer months,
the monastery is very busy,for it is visited by thousands of people who cross
the Pass in cars, As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept
in a special enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite
different. The temperature drops to –30
○
and very few people
attempt to cross the Pass. The monks Prefer winter to summer for they have more
privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too,for they are allowed to wander
outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the
monastery in
winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young
people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a warm welcome at
St. Bernard's monastery.
