4. Little experience – big success 8. From travelling to discovery

A. Charles Darwin’s five-year voyage on H.M.S. Beagle has become legendary and
greatly influenced his masterwork, the book, On the Origin of Species. Darwin
didn’t actually formulate his theory of evolution while sailing around the world
aboard the Royal Navy ship. But the exotic plants and animals he encountered
challenged his thinking and led him to consider scientific evidence in new ways.

B. The 19th century was a remarkable time for exploration. Vast portions of the
globe, such as the interior of Africa, were mapped by explorers and adventurers. It
was the time when David Livingstone became convinced of his mission to reach
new peoples in Africa and introduce them to Christianity, as well as free them from
slavery.

C. Louis Pasteur's various investigations convinced him of the rightness of his

germ theory of disease, which holds that germs attack the body from outside. Many
felt that such tiny organisms as germs could not possibly kill larger ones such as
humans. But Pasteur extended this theory to explain the causes of many diseases –
including cholera, TB and smallpox – and their prevention by vaccination.

D. Frederick Law Olmsted, the architect who designed New York City’s Central
Park, called the Yosemite Valley “the greatest glory of nature.” Californians
convinced one of their representatives, Senator John Conness, to do something
about its protection. In May 1864, Conness introduced legislation to bring the
Yosemite Valley under the control of the state of California. President Abraham
Lincoln signed the bill into law.

E. The Maya thrived for nearly 2,000 years. Without the use of the cartwheel or
metal tools, they built massive stone structures. They were accomplished scientists.
They tracked a solar year of 365 days and one of the few surviving ancient Maya
books contains tables of eclipses. From observatories, like the one at Chichen Itza,
they tracked the progress of the war star, Mars.

F. Bali has been a surfing hotspot since the early 20th century, and continues to
attract surfers from all over the world. The island's small size and unique
geography provides wonderful surfing conditions, in all seasons, for surfers of any
level of experience. Inexperienced surfers might like to try Kuta's kind waves,
while more able surfers will try Nusa Dua's powerful waves.

G. Base jumping is an extreme sport, one which only very adventurous travelers
enjoy. Some base jumpers leap off bridges, others off buildings and the most
extreme off cliffs in Norway. Once a year, base jumpers in the US get to leap off
the New River Bridge in West Virginia. During the annual Bridge Day, hundreds
of jumpers can go off the bridge legally. Thousands of spectators show up to
watch.

In 1840, times were hard for Bentley Harcourt. He had a farm in Yorkshire, but it
didn’t make money. He wanted to marry but decided to wait until better times came
along. Better times did not come along. One day, he saw a newspaper article about
the American West. It sounded like the land of milk and honey. He thought about
it. He had no family. Nobody cared if he lived or died. Why not make a new life in
the New World? He sold his farm and immigrated to America. After a year of
drifting he found himself in Texas. He loved it. He loved the fact that you could
travel for days and not meet another soul. He used his savings to buy some land.
That year he died.

In 1910, an oil company moved on to his land and found oil. They took millions of
barrels of oil out of the ground, all the profits due to the owner of the land were
paid into a bank account in Houston, where they waited for a relative to claim
them. The money sat in the bank for years. By 1975, the amount stood at two
billion dollars.

In 1975, in Bradford, England, a man called David Kingsley took up a new hobby
– tracing his family tree. He studied church records, visited museums, checked
 8

every reference to families called Kingsley. He also checked on his mother’s

family. They were called Harcourt. He discovered one day that his mother’s great-
great uncle, a man with the splendid name of Bentley Harcourt, had sailed from
Liverpool to America.

In the same year, shortly after learning about his great-great uncle, Kingsley read a
magazine article about a fortune that lay unclaimed in a Texas bank. This article
told the story of a lonely immigrant called Bentley Harcourt, and about how he had
died shortly after buying his dream ranch in Texas. The magazine promised to pay
the legal expenses of anyone who could claim to be a descendant and who might be
entitled to the fortune. Kingsley read the story with mounting excitement. Surely,
this must be the same Bentley Harcourt that he had come across during his research
into his family tree! He talked the matter over with his wife and then wrote to the
magazine.

As it turned out, Kingsley was not the only one who claimed to be a descendant. By
the end of 1977, over 60 people were claiming they were entitled to the fortune.
The arguments, the quarrels, and the court cases went on, and on, and on. In the
end, Kingsley did not get the money, but, funnily enough, he didn’t mind. He had
found something much more important. He had a great-great uncle named Bentley
Harcourt, there was no doubt about that. But, amazingly, it was a different Bentley
Harcourt. It seemed impossible that there could be two people with such an unusual
name, but it was true. This Bentley Harcourt had settled in Orange Country,
California, and had made his fortune in fish canning. He married a hardworking
Swedish girl, and they had thirteen children. David Kingsley had found a different
treasure: a branch of his family across the Atlantic. The two families wrote to each
other. Later, they visited each other. They became the best of friends.

And the fortune of the other Bentley Harcourt? It is still unclaimed. As I write this,
the sum stands at 2.3 billion dollars. This may be a good moment to start tracing
your family tree!

12. What did Bentley Harcourt think about the American West when he read the
newspaper article?
1) He thought it was a land with a lot of free food.
2) He thought he might find himself a wife there.
3) He thought it was a land where life was easy and wonderful.
4) He thought he could hide himself there from people.

13. Why did the oil company decide to send part of the profits to the bank?
1) The money belonged to the owner of the land.
2) It was required by the owner of the land.
3) They wanted to hide it from the owner of the land.
4) They wanted to buy the land out for that money.

14. How did David Kingsley learn about the unclaimed money in the Texas bank?
1) He found the information in church records.
 9

2) His great-great uncle wrote to him about it.

3) He learned it from his mother’s relatives.
4) He found the story in a magazine.

15. David Kingsley thought that the owner of the Texas ranch was
1) of no relation to him.
2) related to his mother.
3) related to his father.
4) related to the Harcourt from Orange Country.

16. Why was David Kingsley surprised to find another Bentley Harcourt who had
left for America?
1) Bentley Harcourt had not many close relatives and descendants.
2) The name was too unusual for there being two of them.
3) He didn’t come across him in the family tree.
4) Harcourt’s relatives had never contacted him.

17. David Kingsley never got Bentley Harcourt’s money because he

1) didn’t want to quarrel with other candidates.
2) didn’t prove in court that its owner was his relative.
3) decided that the other descendants deserved it more.
4) thought that that money was not important.

18. Why does the narrator advise the readers to study their family trees?
1) They may find relatives who would turn into best friends.
2) Some of them might still be Bentley Harcourt’s relatives.
3) There is a chance to find some rich relatives.
4) This study may become a very profitable hobby.
