Imagine pioneers traveling west in the 1800s． In those days， it was hard to find running water and shops where to buy things． As time went by， most pioneers had to make their homes near a river so that they could get water easily．
How did rivers help people live in the past？
Back in the pioneer days， people grew their own food，caught their own fish，and collected their own water．（1） People also used rivers as roads，traveling on boats．Traders shipped goods （货物）to people from other areas．
（2）
When building many factories right next to rivers for the water's power to make machines work， some people choose to live near a river for working． They use the river to ship large goods， and some of them work at these factories where power factories provide electricity to homes and businesses． （3）
Who wouldn't want to live near a river？
Some people are nervous about living near rivers because rivers can cause floods （洪水）． Every once in a while， floodwaters rise higher than a house， ruining （泡坏） many things in the house．（4） Such waste causes water to smell bad and pollutes the crops （庄稼） we eat． Water and crops in polluted areas can make people very sick．

（4） For example， try a new restaurant， or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend． Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty（不确定）． So when bigger things happen． you'll be more fully prepared for them．
