1Lesson 8
2A famous monastery
3What are the St.Bernard dogs used for?
4The Great St.Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy.
5At 2,473 metres,
6 it is the highest mountain pass in Europe.
7The famous monastery of St.Bernard,
8which was founded in the eleventh century,
9 lies about a mile away.
10For hundreds of years,
11St.Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass.
12These friendly dogs,
13 which were first brought from Asia,
14were used as watchdogs even in Roman times.
15Now that a tunnel has been built through the mountains,
16 the Pass is less dangerous,
17but each year,
18 the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty.
19Despite the new tunnel,
20there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.
21During the summer months, the monastery is very busy,
22for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars.
23As there are so many people about,
24 the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure.
25In winter, however,
26 life at the monastery is quite different.
27The temperature drops to -30 degrees,
28and very few people attempt to cross the Pass.
29The monks prefer winter to summer for they have more privacy.
30The dogs have greater freedom, too,
31for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure.
32The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter.
33These young people,who love the peace of the mountains,
34always receive a warm welcome at St.Bernard's monastery.
