The Mississippi
The
Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond
its discovery in the 16th century.The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and
it was they who gave it its name—“misi” meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning
“water”.When the
length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes
greater. 1..From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2, 480 miles long.
Great
rivers are likely to suffer floods.In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away
farms, towns, everything in its path.In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions
homeless.Today the
river has largely been controlled. 2..
Industries
have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is
a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the
British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century.They still speak French, mixed
with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms.They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of
the delta.

4..Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it
went, but what lay beyond.In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river,
and named it after their king, Louis XV.This city, named St.Louis, became the jumping-off(起点) place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great
Plains, and the way to the Far West.
Some
40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded
another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 5..New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the
greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.
A.It was the Mississippi that made the city what it
is
B.Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the
flood waters
C.Therefore, as we know, it’s the third longest
river in the world
D.It is known that the “Great Water” has also been a
frontier river
E.However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune
F.The “Great Water” always remains a threat, for the
streets of the city are below the level of the river
G.They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually
been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own traditions
