Rivers are one of our most important natural resources. Many of the world's great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.

Sincethe beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. Thelongest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt isthe Nile. To the people of India, theGanges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travelalong it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa andthe Mekong in Southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation, however, isthe Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go abouttwo thousand miles upon it.

Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to grow crops but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.

However, large cities and industries located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance. However, if they want to enjoy the benefits of this natural resource, they must do more.

You've heard of twins before. But what about digital(数字) twins? A digital twin is a copy of real- world things inside a computer. It could be a computer model of a car, a person, or even a city. By calculating(计算), computers can tell us what could happen to things in the future. Let's find out about some cool digital twin ideas!

Digital twin of bodies.Say that you have a digital twin at birth. It collects data(数据) from your body and can tell when you may get sick. Wouldn't that be great? Now, European scientists are trying to twin the human brain, said Wired. About 60 patients with Alzheimer's (老年痴呆病) will take part in the scientists' project. The digital twin can show how the patients' brains will change after different treatments (治疗方案). Then the patients can pick the best one for them in the real world!

Digital twin of cities. Will a new road bring traffic problems? Where should people drive slower? Should there be more hospitals and schools in some parts of the city? Digital twin of cities can help answer these hard questions! Computer models can show if building or changing things will be good or bad for a city. This saves a lot of money and time. Singapore has used a digital twin for the city since 2018. It helps the government make many decisions.

Digital twin of Earth.Storms, droughts(干旱), rising sea levels(海平面). If we could know when natural disasters (灾害) would happen, we could avoid many sad stories. This year, the European Union started a new 10- year project called" Destination Earth". It will make a digital twin of Earth. It uses supercomputing(超级计算) and AI to study climate(气候) data. This will help us know about bad weather in the future and save lives.

 请阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题获完成所给句子的最佳答案。

Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. 

Tea drinking started in China over 4, 000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress or lose weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkiye(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone's home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way to feel at ease with friends or co-workers(同事). 

Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1, 000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help themselves wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers. 

Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more
