四、阅读理解。根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”）
I am an Inuit boy named Kayla. Inuit are the people who live in cold Arctic (北极的) lands.
In my language, Inuit means “the people”. Some people used to call my people Eskimos. We wish to be

called Inuit.
I live with my mother, father and two brothers. We live at the most northern part of the world. It is made up
of the Arctic Ocean and the land all around it. For months the sea is covered with thick ice. The land is covered
with snow and ice most of the year, too.

Winter is long and very cold. It lasts from October to March. It is dark twenty-four hours a day. The sun does
not come up to warm the water and land. When the north winds blow, it is even colder. There are days when the
temperature is 50°F below zero. My family is prepared.
We wear waterproof (防水鞋). We put on many layers (层) of clothes. Outside we always wear a thick warm

jacket that has fur inside. I’m not afraid of the cold winters. I guess I’m just used to them.
My family and I look forward to each summer. So much happens in a short time. The temperature usually
stays around 50°F. During the summer the sun shines all day and night. This is why the Arctic is called the “land
of the midnight sun”.

（ ）33. Kayla is a boy who lives in cold Arctic lands, the most northern part of the world.
（ ）34. There are four people in Kayla’s family.
（ ）35. In Kayla’s hometown, winter lasts from October to March without sunshine.
