Twilley says students get little exerci when recess stays indoors. At Pemberton Elementary, the students will typically play board games or computer games in a classroom becau the school's gym is occupied with other class, he says.• For schools in Marquette, Mich., which averages about 12 feet of snow per ason, school officials acknowledge students are probably a little more prepared than tho in some more mild climates.小题1:Which of the following is not true according to the passage_________.A．No national temperature standard is made for when to keep kids inside during the winter months.B．Susan Jones insists students get little exerci when recess stays indoors.C．In Wicomico County, children are kept indoors when temperatures dip below freezing.D．Mich has about 12 feet of snow per ason on average.小题2: Which place calls itlf Box of Ice?Wicomico County  B.
