Lesson 4The Iditarod Race
Every year in early March, dogs pull sleds in a race along the Iditarod Trail. This trail is 1770 kilometers long. It goes from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. The people who drive the dog teams are called “mushers.”
A musher is an adventurer. Each musher races alone with a team of dogs. Some mushers are women. Susan Butcher is a famous musher. She won the Iditarod race four times. Rick Swenson won the race five times.
Mushers are very brave to go on this adventure. The dogs run across snow and ice pulling their sleds. Sometimes the mushers ride, and sometimes they walk. In 1991, Rick Swenson led his dogs through heavy snow in a bad storm. It was so dark that no one could see. He fell to his knees and got up again. In 1990, Susan Butcher’s dog got sick. Then they came to a river where there was water on top of ice. They were very lucky that they didn’t fall through the thin ice. No one could live in the icy water below.
At night, the mushers sleep in tents. In the morning, they can see footprints of wild animals near the camp. Sometimes they have to shoot at the wild animals to make them go away.
T he Iditarod race is very long, dangerous, and cold. The mushers spend eleven or twelve days running this race. The temperature can go down to -46℃。 The dogs and the mushers take care of each other during this adventure.

第四课 艾迪塔罗德雪道赛
每年三月上旬，狗都拉着雪橇沿着Iditarod（我翻译成：艾迪塔罗德。音译的）雪道比赛。这条雪道有1770千米长，它从安克雷奇一直通到阿拉斯加的诺姆。那些驱赶着狗雪橇队的人就被称为“mushers”。
一位musher就是一位探险者，每一位musher一路相拥陪伴在狗队身边，而且有些musher还是女性，Susan Butcher 就是一位有名的musher，她曾四次在艾迪塔罗德雪道比赛中胜利。而Rick Swenson 则曾经赢了五次。
狗儿们穿越冰雪拉着雪橇，musher们都是非常勇敢的继续着这趟冒险。他们有时能坐在雪橇上，而有时就只能徒步行走了。在1991年，Rick Swenson 率领狗队穿越厚厚的雪原时碰到了一次大风暴，天昏暗得什么也看不见，他就只有一次又一次地跌倒爬起，爬起跌倒。在1990年，Susan Butcher 的狗病了，之后她和狗们来到一条河边，那条河结了冰。她们很幸运的没有掉到薄冰下面去，在那样冰冷的河水之下没人能活下来。
到了晚上，musher们就只能睡在野外帐篷里。到了早上，他们甚至可以看到在睡过的帐篷附近有野兽的足迹。有些时候他们不得不向野兽们放枪来把它们赶走。
艾迪塔罗德雪道赛非常漫长，危险并且酷寒。musher们需要耗费11到12天来跑完全程。当时的气温甚至会下降到零下46摄氏度。狗儿和musher在这一路的冒险中必须互相照顾扶助。
