Life near the North Pole is very different. Because of the cold weather and the long-time darkness(黑暗), plants can hardly(几乎不) grow there. Such weather is also bad for most animals. And people there have to build their houses with soil, stone or snow. You may think that snow houses must be very cold. In fact, they are very warm inside and they are safe.
When people go out for a long trip, they live in tents—something they can sleep in. When they move, they take their tents with them. This brings so much convenience(便利) to them.
