一、閱讀理解

• 1．    Crossing Phoenix，Arizona，are 180 miles of canals.In 1867，the city's founding father，Jack Swilling saw the remains of irrigation （灌溉） channels wandering across the landscape.He realized that，centuries before，some society had farmed this desert.Soon after，Swilling began clearing the blocked canals to bring agriculture back to the region.
      Three years later，Swilling and other pioneers met to consider names for their settlement.The top two were Pumpkinville and Stonewall.Luckily，English adventurer Darrell Duppa proposed a name inspired by the resurrection （復興） of the canals. "A great race once lived here and another great race will live here in the future，" he considered. "I predict that a new city will spring，phoenix-like，from the ruins and ashes of the old."
      Gary Huckleberry，a researcher，said， "In the southwest，we have some serious issues to deal with in terms of water.The Colorado River is the main source of water for the southwest and it's over distributed.We've got population growth and climate change.How are we going to deal with that？I think there's something to be learned by looking at past societies who managed water for thousands of years."
      That great society was the Hohokam.Between 100 and 1450 AD，they constructed 1，000 miles of canals.As the Hohokam expanded their network，they constantly repaired，cleaned and diverted the canals. "It requires cooperation，because all the users of the water from that canal have to agree not only to construct it，but also to maintain it，" Henderson，a scientist，said. "Users would have to agree to certain conditions to keep the entire system going." The Hohokam committed to sharing water and put themselves on timetables.
      The Hohokam used canal irrigation for 3，000 years. "That，to me，is the definition of sustainable development，" Huckleberry said. "They learned how to sustainably farm，to manage water，to not destroy their soils in a way that is worthy and might give us insight into how we might deal with the current trouble.I think one of the key lessons is that you don't put all your eggs in one basket."

• 2．How to Support Someone Who is Sad When a friend is sad，it's easy to feel helpless.Being a good friend means staying by their side as they experience a loss.（1）

  .Sometimes the best thing people can do for their friends' sadness is to step up and meet what they really need，such as making a trip to the grocery store，bringing meals，picking up the children.Don't be afraid to ask how you can help or even just offering is better，because sometimes those who are sad don't know what they need.
