Listening Blake: What are you working on, Mary? Mary: Im finishing my paper. Its due tomorrow, Blake. Blake: Whats the topic? Mary: Its about Greenland. Blake: Greenland. Hmmm . . . thats part of Canada, right? Mary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake. Blake: Well, isnt it near Canada? Mary: Yes, its off the coast of northeast Canada, but its part of Denmark. Blake: Oh, I didnt know that. Well, whats your paper about exactly? Mary: In my paper, I answer the question Is Greenland really green? In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees? Blake: Is it? Mary: What do you think? Blake: Lets see . . . Greenland is in the Arctic Circle-way up north. Its cold, . . . so Is Greenland really green? Id answer probably not. Mary: Youd be correct. Its too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws. Blake: That sounds tough. Mary: Its hard for the construction industry. Its not easy to build in Greenland. Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there? Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. Theyre great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes see whales swimming in the harbors. Blake: That sounds cool! OK,so if its not really a green place, why was it named Greenland? Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name. 出 版 人 策 划： 责任编辑： 特约编辑： 校对测试： 编著者： 美方 Susan Stempleski Andy Curtis James R.
