[05:44.14]READING TASK   IQALUIT--THE FROZEN 3 TOWN

[05:56.21]The reporter,Beth Allen,

[05:59.13]arrived in a northern community called Iqaluit in Nunavut.

[06:02.97]Nunavut was created in 1999 as a special area of Inuit people.

[06:11.23]Its name means"Our Land"in their language.

[06:15.07]It is in the farthest northeastern area of Canada,

[06:19.32]north of the ArctIc 4 Circle,

[06:21.88]and is very cold-the average winter temperature in Nunavut is-35 degrees.

[06:30.06]Beth said,"I knew it would be cold in January,but not this cold!

[06:36.83]Maybe there is a dog sled here that can take me into town."

[06:41.87]The quiet man who had been on the plane with her said,

[06:45.73]"I'll take you into town,but I don't have a dog sled.

[06:49.99]Most people only use the dogs for competitions.Why are you visiting Iqaluit?

[06:55.95]Beth answered,"I'm writing a story for my newspaper about Iqaluit

[07:02.01]-we'd like to advertise 5 it as a holiday place,but I think it's too cold."

[07:07.94]The man laughed."My name is Simon and I am Inuit,"he said.

[07:13.08]"I think it's too far north here for holidays but more and more tourists are coming.

[07:18.83]They like ice fishing and photographing polar 6 bears.

[07:22.88]I stay as far away from polar bears as possible.

[07:26.54]I like my warm office and my warm house."

[07:29.91]Beth asked,"What do you do in an offce?Don't you hunt animals for a living?

[07:37.17]I thought you lived in ice houses."

[07:41.01]"I'm a business man.

[07:42.97]My grandfather would live in ice houses when he hunted in winter,

[07:47.23]but not so many people do that now.

[07:50.18]The old men used to make one in a few hours.

[07:53.55]They used to live in skin tents in summer-

[07:56.71]the tents were easy to move so the people could follow the animals.'

[08:00.97]A few minutes later they arrived in Iqaluit,

[08:04.62]a town with a population of 6,000,on Simon's snowmobile.

[08:09.59]It was two o'clock in the afternoon,

[08:12.46]but it was already dark,and all the houses shone with bright lights.

[08:17.42]Beth said,"Why is it so dark?It's the middle of the day!"

[08:23.38]Simon replied,"It is dark in the day because we are so far north.

[08:28.63]You should come in June.The sun shines all night in the north then.

[08:33.67]That's why it's called'The Land of the Midnight Sun'."

[08:37.62]There were people on the streets and snowmobiles everywhere.

[08:41.59]There were even a few dog teams.

[08:44.33]FIND READING

[08:51.98]Read this poem by a famous native Canadian,Chief Dan George.

[08:58.83]He was the Chief of a group of native people in Canada,a poet and a film star.

[09:05.96]You may listen to the tape and practise reading aloud.

[09:10.71]Pay attention to the rhythm 7.

[09:13.48]My Heart Soars 8

[09:15.73]The beauty of the trees,the softness of the air,

[09:19.88]The fragrance 9 of the grass speak ot me.

[09:23.04]The summit 10 of the mountain,the thunder of the sky,

[09:27.17]The rhythm of the sea,speak to me.

[09:30.54]The faintness 11 of the stars,the freshness of the morning,

[09:34.98]The dewdrop on the flower,speak to me.

[09:38.82]The strength of th fire,the taste of salmon,the trail 12 of the sun

[09:44.67]And the life that never goes away,they speak to me And my heart soars
