RapaRiver薩米人是北極冰地的早住民，大約在一萬年前，從前蘇聯(lián)的阿尼加湖遷至斯堪地那維亞的最北邊。早年他們是漁獵民族，后來以放養(yǎng)馴鹿維生，在維京文化興起之前，他們是天地間自由自在的民族，以馴鹿的奶與肉為食，以馴鹿皮做帳篷、衣服、鞋襪，用馴鹿的肌腱與韌帶為縫紉工具，生活所需一切仰賴馴鹿。SamipeopleActivity2:ReadforthestructureMatchthesubheadingswiththeparagraphsASummerWheretheSunNeverSleepsALandofMountainsandIceManatPeacewithNatureALandofAdventureGoodsubheadings:catchreaders’eyesmakethestructureandkeypointsclearWhile-readingsensesThesentencesinthetextFeelingssighttouchsmelltastesoundSpreadingoutbeforeme，branchesoftheRapaRiverflowthroughthevalleybelow...Atthefarsideofthevalley，anancientSamicottageisvisible.Closeby，thereareafewreindeerfeedingongrass.Forexample，thismorningmybreakfastisflatbreadwarmedoverafire，driedreindeermeat，andsomesweetandsourberriesthatIfoundgrowingnearmytent.HereIam，alone...breathingthefreshair，andenjoyingthisgreatadventure.Iwakeuptothesoundofthewindbuffetingtheclothofmytent.SinceImustcarryallofmyfoodandsupplieswithme，mybagweighsabout30kilograms.Iftodayisanythinglikeyesterday，itwillbefullofsweatandhardworkasIhikeoverthisdifficultlandtomydestinationontheothersideofthevalley.surprised,amazed,fascinated,tired,comfortable,enjoyable,relaxed,satisfied,grateful
