ANJ_B1_Ukazka_7_2023_test_23_1717.png
,
,,(a)Actor and screenwriter Matthew Langford Perry was born on August 19, 1969, in Williamstown, Massachusetts. A talented performer, Matthew Perry is most famous for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the long-running television sitcom Friends. His actor father, John Bennett Perry, broke up with his mother, Suzanne, while Matthew was still an infant. He went to live with his mother in Ottawa, Canada.,
,,(b)Growing up, Perry developed two passions – playing tennis and acting. He moved to Los Angeles around the age of 15 to live with his father. There Perry got his first film part while still in high school. In A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), he had a supporting role opposite star River Phoenix, who was playing the title character. Unfortunately, the film came and went without much attention.,
,,(c)In September 1987, Perry starred in his first sitcom Second Chance. The show had a fantastic cast with Kiel Martin starring as a man who dies and gets a chance to go back to mentor a younger version of himself (played by Perry). The show was later changed, dropping Martin and focusing on the teenage misadventures of Perry’s character. Despite its new direction and new title, Boys Will Be Boys, the sitcom failed to attract enough of an audience to stay on the air.,
,,(d)After the series ended, Perry landed a series of small parts and guest spots on such shows as Empty Nest and Growing Pains. He also had a supporting role in the short-lived Valerie Bertinelli comedy Sydney in 1990. This same year, Perry gave a strong performance as Desi Arnaz Jr. in the television film Call Me Anna, about the life of actress Patty Duke.,
,,(e)Three years later, Perry tried again for sitcom success with Home Free. He starred as a young reporter who lives at home with his mother and his sister and her two kids. After a few months, the series was cancelled. Perry was cast in a sitcom called LAX 2194, which was a futuristic look at an airport. It was never shown, but he soon found the perfect project. Perry won a leading role in a new sitcom called Friends about a group of young men and women in New York City.,
Part 3: The Inuit People (7 points)

,
,The Inuit people live in the far northern areas of Alaska, Canada, Siberia, and Greenland. They originally made their home along the Alaskan coast, but migrated to other areas. Everything about the lives of the Inuit is influenced by the cold tundra climate in which they live.
The typical materials for making homes such as wood and mud are hard to find in the frozen tundra of the Arctic. The Inuit learned to make warm homes out of snow and ice for the winter. During the summer they would make homes from animal skin stretched over a frame made from driftwood or whalebones. The Inuit word for home is “igloo”.
The Inuit people were unable to farm and grow their own food in the harsh desert of the tundra. They mostly lived on meat from hunting animals. They used harpoons to hunt seals, walruses, and the bowhead whale. They also ate fish and searched for wild berries. A high percentage of their food was fatty, which gave them energy in the cold weather.
In order to hunt larger prey like walruses and whales, the Inuit hunters would gather in a large group. To hunt a whale, typically at least 20 hunters would gather on a large boat armed with a number of harpoons. They would attach a number of seal-skin balloons filled with air to the harpoons. This way the whale could not dive deep into the water when it was first speared. Each time that the whale came to the surface for air, the hunters would harpoon it again. Once the whale died, they would tie it to the boat and tow it back to shore.
It would sometimes take a number of men a long time to catch and kill a whale, but it was well worth it. The Inuit used all parts of the whale including the meat, blubber, skin, oil, and bones. A large whale could feed a small community for a year.
Despite the harsh landscape of the Arctic, the Inuit still found ways to travel long distances. On land and ice they used dogsleds called “qamutik”. They bred strong sled dogs from wolves and dogs to pull the sleds which were made from whale bones and wood. These dogs became the husky dog breed.,
