Preface
The World Heritage List is based on the Convention Concerning the Protection of
the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, which was adopted by the United Nations
Scientific and Cultural Organization（UNESCO）in 1972. The World Heritage Listincludes about 1,000 properties forming part of the cultural, natural and mixed
heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding
universal value.
This textbook is a successor to our first volume, Exploring World Heritage on DVD.
The DVD provides students a vivid visual introduction to 15 World Heritage Sites.
The textbook activities are designed to improve listening, reading, speaking, andwriting skills as well as research proficiency in English. There are also opportunities
for students to increase their awareness of global issues and challenges which each
World Heritage property faces. Finally, students can prepare for such examinations as
TOEIC and TOEFL by acquiring vocabulary, grammar and comprehension skills.
Most explanations are bilingual so that native English teachers can use this textbook
easily.
In conclusion, we hope this textbook will contribute to students’ gaining knowledgeof world Englishes, cultures, history, and geography as well as taking more interest inJapan UNESCO Association’s World Heritage Preservation Campaign（http://www.
unesco.jp/）.
We deeply appreciate Ms. Hiroko Nakazawa’s kind help and advice. Without her,
this textbook would never have come into being.

は し が き「世界遺産」は 1972 年「国際連合教育文化機関（ユネスコ）」が採択した「世界の文化遺産および自然遺産の保護に関する条約」に基づいています。世界遺産には「世界遺産委員会」が傑出した普遍的価値をもつと判断した約 1,000 の物件が登録されており、それは人間が作り出した「文化遺産」と、自然が残されている「自然遺産」、さらにこの両者が共存する「複合遺産」から成り立っています。

Unit 1 Return of the Wilderness: Yellowstone National Park (U.S.A.)Reading02

Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Yellowstone National Park is located in the western part of the U.S.A., in the state ofWyoming. It was established in 1872. The park covers an area of 8,983 square kilometers,
which is about the size of Hiroshima prefecture in Japan. It was the first national park
established in the U.S.A.
Yellowstone Park is located in an area of volcanic activity and among its many attractions 5
are its geysers, which are hot springs that shoot water high into the air like fountains. The
best known of these geysers is called Old Faithful. This geyser erupts about every 90 minutes
and shoots water 50 meters high into the air.
Yellowstone is also home to many kinds of wild animals. There are deer, elk, buffalo,bears, and wolves. In the early part of the 20th century, many wolves were killed by hunters 10
in order to protect the cattle on local farms. By the 1930s, wolves had been eliminated fromthe park. However, the absence of wolves upset the balance of nature, allowing the number ofelk to greatly increase. In the 1990s, park managers brought wolves to Yellowstone. Thewolves help to control the number of elk, which would otherwise damage the plant life in the15park.
For generations the park has given visitors a chance to experience nature as it was in thedistant past. Yellowstone National Park will continue to be a source of wonder to visitors forgenerations to come. (241 words)........................................................
