The Water Road In October 1825, the Seneca Chief traveled from Buffalo to New York City. It was the first time a boat went all the way from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. In the early 19th century, transportation had become important to America. Companies needed to send their goods to distant markets. Farmers needed to send their crops to people in the cities. Pioneers wanted to travel west to find farm land. It was hard to build roads through the wilderness (荒无人烟的地区), so waterways were often used for transportation. But people still had to travel over land to get from one waterway to another. Canals (运河) were one way to solve the problem. The Erie Canal connected the Hudson River( near New York City) with the Great Lakes. It made the Seneca Chief" s journey possible. It took two years and cost $ 7 million to build the Erie Canal. But it was worth the price. Before the canal opened, it cost $ 100 a ton to ship goods between Buffalo and New York City. After it was built, the cost was $ 10 a ton. Before the canal, the journey between Buffalo and New York City took 20 days. With the canal, it took eight days. Today we can go from Buffalo to New York City in a matter of hours. Back in 1825, though, there were no cars or highways or airplanes. |
1. How many days would be saved if one took a trip from Buffalo to New York City after the Erie Canal was built? |

2. What can we know from the passage? |
A. The Hudson River connects New York City with Buffalo. B. Most waterways are connected with others. C. The Seneca Chief"s journey would fail without the Eric Canal. D. The Hudson River flows into the Pacific Ocean. |

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (炮台). In 1190, it was the king"s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in.

During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.
