Answer the questions.
1. Why does the writer mention “the Flaming Mountains” at the beginning?
By mentioning this well-known place from Journey to the West, the writer connects with readers, attracts their attention and makes them interested in reading on.
2. What can you tell about Turpan from “cook an egg on the desert sand”?
It tells us that Turpan is very hot.
1. What fact from the passage do you find the most interesting? Why?
For me, the most interesting fact is that the system was completed with only hand tools. The canals are so long and there are so many wells. It is difficult to do the work with machines, and using hand tools is even more difficult.
Think and share.
I think it is necessary to keep the karez system. Although modern technology can solve some problems, the karez system still plays an important role. It works well and is an important part of our history. We can use both modern technology and the karez system to improve the living environment in this area.
2. With modern technology, do you think it is still necessary to keep the karez system? Why or why not?

Write a passage about how people change nature.
The Great Green Wall
The Great Green Wall is a great project that changes nature. It lies in northern China. It started in the 1970s. People created it to stop the desert from growing.
One amazing fact is that millions of trees are planted every year. It works by planting trees to hold water and stop sandstorms. Thanks to it, more green land appears in dry areas, and people can live in safer places.
It plays an important role in protecting our environment. I believe people will keep and protect it in the future. It shows the great wisdom of human beings.
