    The longest river in the world is the Nile. It is 4,160 miles long. But the Nile is not the mightiest (浩荡的) river. The Amazon is. The Amazon is also the second longest river in the world. It is 3,900 miles long. How long is that? It is longer than a road going from New York City to San Francisco.

    The Amazon is the mightiest for this reason. It has the greatest amount of water. More water runs out to sea than from the Nile. Mississippi, and Yangtze rivers combined. That's a lot of fresh water! The force of its current (水流) is great too. The current can be seen 200 miles out in the sea. There's a story to show the Amazon's amazing current. A ship sailed (航行) far away from Brazil. It ran out of drinking water. Another ship passed by. The first ship asked for water. Someone on the second ship said. "Just put your buckets (桶) into the sea."

    Here are a few more facts. At its mouth, the Amazon is 90 miles wide. Even up the river, you can't see the opposite bank. The river is also very deep(from 22 to 76 meters). During rainy season, the river rises about 16 meters more. Big ocean ships can sail about 1,800 miles upstream (向上游). Smaller ships can sail 1,000 miles farther.

    What's the most bloodthirsty fish in the world? No. It's not the shark It's the Amazon's piranha.It is only about 10 cm to 20 cm long. It has sharp teeth. Thousands travel in a group. No animal can swim across the river. A 1,000-pound horse would be just bones (骨头) in three minutes. Are you planning a trip to the Amazon? Here's a piece of advice. Leave your swimsuit at home!

(1)、After reading this passage it seems clear that____________.
A、people do not drink the Amazon's water B、it would not be good to visit the Amazon during rainy season C、sailing on the Amazon requires a knowledge of its current
(2)、The writer helps you understand how long the Amazon is by________.

In the United States, people enjoy entertaining (招待) guests at home. So they invite {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(friend) over a meal, a party, or just for coffee. People often send {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (they) invitation by saying, "Would you come over for dinner this Saturday evening?" "Hey, we are having {#blank#}3{#/blank#}party on Friday. Could you join us?"

If people accept the invitation, they often say, "Yes, thank you."{#blank#}4{#/blank#}they cannot go, they may say "I'm sorry", and give an excuse for it.

Sometimes, people use some other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(difference) kinds of expressions. They sound like invitations, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they are not real invitations. For example: "Please come over for a drink sometime." "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} fact, these are not real invitations because they don't have a specific time or date. They just show that the person {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) trying to be friendly, and he or she would like {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(finish) a dialogue in a polite way. When people reply to expressions like these, they just say, "Sure, that would be great." or "OK, thanks." So next time you hear something like an invitation, listen {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(careful) to make sure if it is a real invitation or the person is just being friendly to you.

Recently, secondhand transaction(交易) has become quite popular in our daily life. More and more secondhand goods have found their way in the market, such as used books, furniture and even cars. Why do so many people like to buy secondhand goods? One of the most important reasons is that the Internet provides a more convenient and quicker transaction platform(平台) for secondhand goods.

Li Li, 29, an office worker in Shanghai, sells used products online. Since she began to cooperate with a secondhand transaction platform two years ago, she has sold nearly 14,000 yuan of goods.

The size of China's secondhand product market rose from about 300 billion yuan in 2015 to more than 1 trillion yuan in 2022. Xinhua News Agency reported that the rapidly growing Chinese online resale platforms have also driven secondhand transactions. 

"The increase shows Chinese young people's changing views on consum-ption(消费)," said Zhang Li, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation. "Traditionally, buying used products is often seen as a sign of being poor that is socially shameful. But today they focus on the actual value of the product instead of whether it is completely new," said Zhang.

Secondhand consumption also shows the ideas of environmental protection and the need to cut down on waste. "Humans are the creators of things in life and should be responsible for everything they create," said Lu Yaping, the founder of a secondhand goods exchange platform.

The traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Great Heat (大暑), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 7. During Great Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. The following are some things you should know about Great Heat.

A season of harvesting and planting

During Great Heat, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for agricultural crops. But like Slight Heat, many natural calamities such as floods, droughts (干旱) and typhoons also happen during Great Heat. Therefore, it's important to harvest and plant in time to avoid setbacks (挫折) caused by natural disasters.

Sending the Great Heat ship in Zhejiang

The ship is filled with various animals for sacrifice (祭祀) such as pigs, sheep, chickens, fish and shrimps. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they march through the streets. The drums are played and fireworks are lit. Both sides of the streets are filled with people praying for blessings. After a series of ceremonies, the ship is finally carried to the wharf (码头). Then, the ship is pulled out of the fishing port and burned at sea. People carry out this ritual (典礼) to pray for good harvests (收成) and health.

Eating litchi and Mizao in Fujian

On the day of Great Heat, there is a custom of eating litchi and Mizao in Putian, Fujian Province, as a celebration of Great Heat. Litchi is a nutritious fruit. People usually soak litchi in cold well water first and eat it. Mizao is made of fermented (已发酵的) rice. On the day of Great Heat, people cook it with brown sugar.
