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.3. What’s the meaning of the title?The title means the karez system is like a hidden “river” that brings life to Turpan’s desert. It quietly carries water underground so people can survive and grow food in the terrible climate.Think and share.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.2. With modern technology, do you think it is still necessary to keep the karez system? Why or why not?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.Find information about another system showing how people adapt to and make good use of nature.
