Unit3 Understanding each other -Project课件（译林牛津版选修6）.pptVIP

What about the ethnic groups in other countries in the world? 因纽特人来自亚洲，但由于长期生活在极地环境中，因而同亚洲的黄种人已经有所不同。他们身材矮小粗壮，眼睛细长，鼻子宽大，鼻尖向下弯曲，脸盘较宽，皮下脂肪很厚。粗矮的身材可以抵御寒冷，而细小的眼睛可以防止极地冰雪反射的强光对眼睛的刺激。但是因纽特人耐寒抗冷的另一重要原因是日常所食的都是些高蛋白、高热量的食品如鲸鱼。“因纽特”在他们的语言中是“真正的人”的意思，他们还有一个不太喜欢的名字叫“爱斯基摩人”。“爱斯基摩人(Eskimo)”是印第安人送给他们的一个带有嘲笑性质的名称，意思是“吃生肉的人”。出于对这样一个坚强生存着的民族的敬意，我倡议大家放弃“爱斯基摩人”这个词的使用。 因纽特人的确吃生肉，而且他们更喜欢保存了一段时间并稍腐败的肉，因纽特传统观点认为将肉做熟实在是对食物的糟蹋。 Aboriginal girl Reading comprehension 1.After reading this travel brochure, you have some ideas about_______.
