And despite its terrible
winters,
in June,
July and August temperatures over 30 c are not uncommon
.
There are few modern conveniences in the village - with many buildings still
having outdoor toilets and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.
When coal
deliveries are irregular, the power station starts burning wood.
If the power ceases,
the town shuts down in about five hours,
and the pipes freeze and crack.
Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing,
glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power.
Locals are said to leave
their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them
Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves
would not work in such cold conditions.
Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies,
which
can take anything up to three days.
64.
According to the text, Oymyakon ______.
A
is the coldest location on the earth
B.
has got frozen water all over the year
