C 根据下面短文回答下列问题。 Eskimos live in the northern (北部的) part of North America, from Alaska to Greenland. In that area, winter is nine months long. There is snow and ice everywhere. Not long ago the Eskimo family lived in a house made of ice and hard snow. It was called an "igloo". The igloo was heated(加热) with oil lamps. A hole is made in the roof for smoke or smell to go out. Today they live in houses made of wood and iron. But sometimes they will live for a while in an igloo when they go hunting (打猎). Many years ago, only the Eskimos lived in this land. The Eskimos had believed that they were the only people in the world. They called themselves "Inuit". That means the people. Later when the American Indians (印第安人) met the Inuit, they called them Eskimos. That Indian word means "eaters of raw meat". |
