The Amazon is one of the world's longest rivers,second only to the Nile in Africa. Beginning from the Andes Mountains in Peru, the Amazon runs 4,000 miles eastward through Colombia and Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean. The river is usually about one to six miles wide. During the rainy season, it can be as much as 20 miles wide in some areas. It is also one of the deepest rivers, reaching 300 feet deep in a number of areas.
The river is also important because it runs through the Amazon rain forest. Home to some of the planet's most amazing and unusual birds, fish, insects, and animals, the Amazon rain forest has the most plant and animal species(种类) in the world. Brightly colored parrots, monkeys, and frogs live here. In the water, you'll find pink dolphins. Some of the plants and trees in the rain forest have been used as medicines for thousands of years.
The river became known as the Amazon during the mid-1500s. A Spaniard(西班牙人) saw some women fighters along its lower banks and named the river after them. In Greek mythology(神话), the Amazons were a group of women who were very good at fighting.

While many Chinese don't agree on what food is best, almost everyone loves hot pot.
The most popular kind of hot pot is the Sichuan hot pot, with its red peppers(辣椒) and huajiao. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. It is said that the spicy (辣的) food helps people live through Sichuan's hot and wet weather. The Beijing hot pot uses mutton and many of the same ingredients(食材) as the Sichuan hot pot. Since its broth(底汤) is mostly just water and has no red peppers, it is not spicy. The Northeast hot pot usually uses pork and pickled(腌制的) cabbage, while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth, and is known for its many kinds of ingredients, including seafood. Almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking. There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks.
With a hot pot, you can put in any ingredient that you like. The same pot can serve any number of different meals to the people sitting around the table. No one is left out, and everyone gets to eat as much—or as little—as they want. This shows the Chinese cultural values of openness and sharing. Finally, not only does hot pot taste wonderful, but eating hot pot is the perfect way to spend time with others.
People like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can't solve. The fire from a hot pot can melt(融化) any disagreement and warm any heart. Over a hot pot people can talk and share not just food, but friendship. While the food may soon be forgotten, these friendships stay with us forever.
14. How many kinds of hot pots are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two.

15. What is the difference between Sichuan hot pot and other hot pots?
A. The use of huajiao.
B. The use of fish soup.
C. The use of pickled cabbage.
D. The use of mutton.

A. Because it can be cooked easily.
B. Because it can warm the stomach and the heart.
