A
With the average temperature for January standing at -50

, it is no wonder
the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world. Known
as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was
-71.2

.
This
is
the
lowest
recorded
temperature
for
any
permanently
inhabited
location
on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.
Ironically, Oymyakon actually means 'non- freezing water' due to a nearby hot
spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few
modern conveniences.
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat. A single shop
provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders,
hunters and ice-fisherman.
Doctors
say
the
reason
the
locals
don't
suffer
from
malnutrition
is
that
their
animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients.
Unsurprisingly,
locals
are
hardened
to
the
weather
and
unlike
in
other
countries

where a flurry of snow brings things
grinding to a halt
, Oymyakon's
solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52

.
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.
The
earth
must
first
have
melted
sufficiently
in order to dig it, so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours. Hot coals are then
pushed
to
the
side
and
a
hole
couple
of
inches
deep
is
dug.
The
process
is
repeated
for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.
Travel
companies
offer
tourists
the
opportunity
to
visit
the
village
and
sample
life in the freezing conditions.
1. Which of the following statements about this village is true?

A. Local children don’t go to school because of the extreme cold.

B. People there live a hard and simple life with few modern conveniences.
C. People there have a healthy and balanced diets by eating vegetables and
meat.
D.
The
name
of
this
village


Oymyakon
suggests
that
it’s
extremely
cold
here.

2. The sentence

“If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a
visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might j
ust change yo
ur mind.”
can
be put
.
A. before the first paragraph



B. after the first paragraph
C. after the sixth paragraph



D. before the last paragraph
3
. What does the underlined phrase “grinding to a halt” probably mean in this

1
passage?
A. stopping
B. growing
C. continuing
D. failing
4. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To attract more people to visit this village.
B. To inform readers of this special village.
C. To help solve problems facing the village.

D. To draw readers’ attention to
poor people.
B
I
was
puzzled!
Why
was
this
old
woman
making
such
a
fuss
about
an
old
copse
which
was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper, even to a
national, protesting about a projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at
a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn't as if the area
was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was curious.

The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take
place
shortly,
and
I
wanted
to
know
what
it
was
that
motivated
her.
So
it
was
that
I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then
being taken for a walk to the woods.


for
others.
We
all
used

They
called
it
'Lovers

It's
not
much
of
a
lane,
and it doesn't go anywhere important, but that's why we all came here. To be away
from people, to be by ourselves
It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard.
Squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few
people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise
of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so
I felt that she probably had something there
but as I hold strong opinions about
the
needs
of
the
community
over-riding
the
opinions
of
private
individuals,
I
said
nothing.
The
village
was
quite
a
dangerous
place
because
of
the
traffic
especially
for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old
woman's strange ideas.
