M:Did you enjoy the film as much as you enjoyed the book?
Q:When did the woman read the book?
Section B Passage One
We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator
although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it.
But as for the North Pole
we know that it is not only a dangerously cold plays
but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there.
At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so
and they use special equipment.
Men have ben travelling acrosss and around the equator on wheel
on their feet or in ships for thousands of years
but only a few men with great difficulty and in very recent time
have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole.
So it may surprise you to learn that when travelling by air
it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator.
Of course,this is not true about landings in the polar region
may remind you that it is spring or summer.
A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn.
Beyond that,what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant.
