It supplies water to more than 36 million people, has changed the desert into farmland, and allows cities like Los
11、Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas to develop. But satisfying the regions need for water has come at a price.The river once traveled all the way from Colorados Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. Now, dams (水坝) control the rivers water for human use. As a result, the river no longer reaches the
12、ocean. Without water, the delta (三角洲) at the rivers mouth has become dry and poor.To bring the delta back to life, engineers recently opened the Morelos Dam near the US-Mexico border to free a temporary burst of water. This pulse flow allowed the Colorad River to reach the sea for the first time in
13、16 years, helping the rivers delta come alive.The dams built by the US government form a system of man-made lakes. These lakes can store four times the rivers yearly flow. “The lakes are like the river basins bank accounts,” says Taylor Hawes. “They provide a place to save up water for not-so-rainy
14、days like right now”.In wetter times, on and off since the 1960s, the Colorado managed to complete its journey to the sea.

In fact, the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day for health goes back many year
20、s to a marketing campaign started in Japan for the sale of a pedometer (计步器). And, in the years that followed, it was accepted in the US as a goal to build up good health. Its often the default setting (默认设置) on fitness trackers, but whats it really based on?“The original basis of the number was not
21、 scientifically determined,” says researcher I-Min Lee of Brigham and Womens Hospital.

Their average age was 7
22、2. The women all agreed to wear devices to track their steps as they went about their day-to-day activities.It turns out that women who took about 4,000 steps per day got an increase in longevity (长寿), compared with women who took fewer steps. In fact, women who took 4,400 steps per day, on average,
23、 were about 40 percent less likely to die during the follow-up period of about four years compared with women who took 2,700 steps. The findings were published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine.Another surprise: The benefits of walking maxed out at about 7,500 steps. In other words, women who walk
24、ed more than 7,500 steps per day saw no additional increase in longevity.Janz, who released the new national exercise recommendations last November, says the message that comes from this study was encouraging. “I think its really good news for women who may not be particularly active.” says Janz. “A
25、ll they have to do is walk.
