The Amazon is one of the world’s longest rivers, second only to the Nile in Africa. Begin- ning from the Andes Mountains in Peru, the Ama- zon runs 4,000 miles eastward through Colombia and Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean. The river is usu- ally about one to six miles wide. During the rainy season, it can be as much as 20 miles wide in some areas. It is also one of the deepest rivers, reaching 300 feet deep in a number of areas.
The river is also important because it runs through the Amazon rain forest. Home to some of
the planet’s most amazing and unusual birds, fish, insects, and animals, the Amazon rain forest has the most plant and animal species（物种）in the world. Brightly colored parrots, monkeys, and frogs live here. In the water, you’ll find pink dol- phins. Some of the plants and trees in the rain for- est have been used as medicines for thousands of years.
The river became known as the Amazon during the mid-1500s. A Spanish man（西班牙人）saw some women fighters along its lower banks and named the river after them. In Greek mythology（神话）, the Amazons were a group of women who were very good at fighting.
