40、they did flips.The Inuit TodayIn the last three sections,you read about traditional Inuit ways of living.This is how many of them lived for thousands of years.Yet over the last few hundred years,things have changed.Today there are airports,TVs,and computers in the Arctic.Now the Inuit are trying to
41、find a balance between the modern world and traditional ways.Many Inuit prefer houses with electricity instead of dark igloos.But modern houses cost money.And to make money,Inuit people have to find jobs.This means that many Inuit spend their days at jobs other than hunting and fishing.There are als

45、,ducks and geese migrate to the Arctic to build nests and raise their young.So if plants and animals can survive in the far north,what about people?How would you stay warm during the cold,dark winters?How would you stay protected from the icy winds and snowstorms?How would you find food?People have
46、lived in and near the Arctic for thousands of years.Before there were stores,fancy jackets,or electricity,these people survived in the frozen north.They built houses from driftwood,earth,whalebones,and snow.They burned whale fat to heat their homes.And they wore animal skins and fur to brave the har
