<b>Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.</b>
A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans. In hot deserts,

as filters, vehicles and communication equipment. Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes
even days.
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including
the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people. Modern technology, including advanced
irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable,
In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use.
In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the
absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking. Falling through pack-ice or surface ice
layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid
hypothermia. Starvation is also a hazard; in low temperatures the body requires much more
food energy to maintain body heat and to move. As with hot deserts, some people such as the
Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts.
