Alonso Alvarez de Pineda mapped the Texas Gulf Coast in the 1520s. In 1527, Panfilo de Narvaez led an expedition to Florida in search of gold but his forces became lost in swamps. Storms destroyed their ships, leaving Narvaez and his men stranded. They built boats to escape but Narvaez drowned; the survivors, including Cabeza de Vaca, were washed ashore on an island along the Texas coast. For the next eight years, Cabeza de Vaca lived among Native American tribes, gaining fame as a healer. He and three other Spaniards eventually encountered a group of Spanish soldiers and were rescued.

Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 hoping to find a western route to Asia but instead landed in the Caribbean, establishing the first European presence in the Americas. Spanish conquistadors then sought to expand Spain's control and wealth by conquering native populations, with Hernan Cortes conquering the powerful Aztec Empire after forming alliances with neighboring tribes and defeating the Aztecs in 1521. The Spanish conquest had major impacts through the spread of Christianity, introduction of new technologies and livestock, and the establishment of Mexico City.

Storms destroyed their ships, leaving Narvaez and his men stranded. They built boats to escape but Narvaez drowned, and two ships landed on an island off the Texas coast called Malhado. Only four men, including Cabeza de Vaca, survived. They spent eight years traveling along the Texas coast, interacting with Native Americans and gathering food to trade before being rescued in 1536.
Age of contact- Early Exploration in Texas
Conquistadors from Spain explored and conquered areas in America in the 16th century, motivated by goals of spreading Christianity (God), finding gold, and achieving glory. While initially more focused on Mexico, the Spanish became concerned about French colonization efforts in Texas in the 18th century, renewing their own colonization attempts to maintain control over the territory.

Cristobal Colon believed he could reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic. Unable to secure support in Portugal, he went to the Catholic monarchs of Spain, Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, who provided ships for his voyage. In 1492, Colon set sail with three ships - the Pinta, the Niña, and the largest, the Santa Maria - carrying around 90 men. While attempting to reach Asia, Colon instead discovered lands that would come to be known as the Americas.

Who Really Discovered America?
While Christopher Columbus is often credited as the discoverer of America, there is evidence that others reached the Americas before him, including the Vikings, Japanese, and Irish monk Saint Brendan. The Vikings may have established a settlement in present-day Newfoundland or Nova Scotia as early as 1000 AD. Some pottery fragments found in Ecuador date to 5000 years ago and suggest the Japanese may have sailed across the Pacific. An Irish text describes a voyage by Saint Brendan in the 6th century that may have reached Newfoundland. Ultimately, the Native Americans who crossed the Bering Strait over 10,000 years ago were likely the first to discover America.
Trailblazers
The document discusses Manifest Destiny, the life and hardships of emigrants traveling the Oregon and California trails westward in the mid-1800s, important landmarks and forts along the trails, and the tragic events of the Donner Party journey. It describes the 2,000 mile journey over 6 months that emigrants faced, crossing landmarks like Chimney Rock, Independence Rock, and South Pass. Forts like Fort Kearny, Fort Laramie, and Fort Hall provided supplies to emigrants. The Donner Party took a fatal shortcut and got trapped in the Sierra Nevada mountains in winter blizzards, resulting in cannibalism and the deaths of most members.
49ers
The document discusses the California Gold Rush of 1848-1855. It describes how gold was discovered by James Marshall at Sutter's sawmill, sparking a massive migration. Over 300,000 prospectors immigrated to California using various mining techniques like pans, picks and shovels to excavate gold. Some individuals like Wells and Levi Strauss profited by supplying goods and services to the miners. The Gold Rush had positive impacts like growing California's population and economy but also had negative effects like environmental impacts and violence towards native peoples.
Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who lived from 1451 to 1506. He wanted to find a new route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1492, he embarked on his first voyage, sailing west and eventually discovering several islands in the Caribbean including San Salvador and Cuba, believing he had reached Asia. Over subsequent voyages from 1493 to 1502, he explored more islands in the Caribbean and coastal regions of South and Central America, though he never realized he had discovered a new continent.
Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain in August 1492 hoping to find a western passage to India but instead discovered the Bahamas on October 12, 1492. His three ships, the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, faced hardships like pirate attacks, and one ship sank. Columbus made the discovery with funding from Spain, hoping to find gold, silver and spices. His discovery contributed to later European exploration and settlement of what is now New York state.

Saint Brendan was an Irish monk who may have traveled to the Americas in the 5th century, though this is considered a myth without physical evidence. Columbus obtained information about lands across the Atlantic from fishermen in England and Portugal who likely explored the waters off Canada and the Caribbean. While we don't know if Saint Brendan or others like the Welsh or Phoenicians reached America, Columbus appeared to have knowledge from European sailors.
The discovery of america
North and South America were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy but lived in Spain, where he convinced King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to fund his expedition. In August 1492, Columbus set sail from Spain with three ships - the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria - and arrived in the Bahamas after over a month at sea, believing he had found a new route to Asia but had actually discovered the Americas. He claimed the land for Spain and named the native peoples "Indians," establishing the permanent European presence in the Western Hemisphere.
Colon first voyage
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492 hoping to find a route to Asia but instead landed in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia. He made four voyages to the Caribbean and South America between 1492 and 1504, establishing permanent European colonies in the Americas. His voyages marked the beginning of centuries of exploration and colonization of the Americas by European powers.
Gold Rush
Gold was first discovered by James Marshall in 1848 while building a sawmill for John Sutter in Coloma, California. Word quickly spread, attracting over 300,000 prospectors from around the world over the next few years seeking fortune in the California Gold Rush. They arrived by three main routes - around Cape Horn, across the Isthmus of Panama, or overland. Many of the early 49ers panned for gold in streams and rivers, though mining operations using picks and shovels to dig in caves also emerged.

Christopher Columbus made four voyages to the Americas between 1492 and 1504. On his first voyage in 1492, he landed on an island in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia, and proceeded to explore the Caribbean. Though he did not discover North America, his voyages led to the widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
El dorado
El Dorado was first the name of a tribal chief in Colombia who covered himself in gold dust for a ritual. It later came to refer to a lost city of gold that fascinated explorers. Though never found, the legends originated from stories Spanish explorers heard in the 16th century of a tribe in the Andes who threw gold and jewels in a lake. Francisco Orellana and Gonzalo Pizarro searched unsuccessfully in 1541. In 1545, Lake Guatavita was found and drained, yielding gold. Sir Walter Raleigh led two unsuccessful expeditions in search of El Dorado in the late 16th/early 17th century, with his second expedition resulting in his son's death and ultimately
Gold Rush!
The document discusses the California Gold Rush of 1849, mentioning John Sutter and James Marshall's discovery of gold flakes at Sutter's Mill, which triggered a massive migration to California by settlers traveling by both land and sea in hopes of striking it rich. It prompts the reader to create educational projects illustrating the journey to California during the Gold Rush or the initial discovery of gold.
CAPE Unit 1 African Presence before Columbus
The document provides evidence for African presence in the Americas before 1492, including stone heads, terra cotta sculptures, skeletons, inscriptions, oral traditions, and archaeological, botanical, linguistic, and cultural findings. Specific examples mentioned are African-like stone heads found in Mexico and the Virgin Islands, as well as skeletons found in the Virgin Islands that were determined to be morphologically African.
Christopher columbus
Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492 to find a western route to India, hoping to access valuable trade goods like gold, silver, spices and silk more quickly than traveling east. While Columbus believed the earth was round, he incorrectly landed in the Americas rather than India. Columbus thought he had reached Asia but had actually discovered a new continent unknown to Europeans at the time.
Christopher columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator and colonizer born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. He made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, discovering several islands in the Caribbean and South and Central America for Spain. His first voyage in 1492 resulted in the discovery of the Americas, including landing in The Bahamas and exploring Cuba and Hispaniola. Columbus continued exploring the Americas on three subsequent voyages, mapping much of the region. He died in 1506 in Spain after being stranded in Jamaica during his final voyage.
Sir francis drake
Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer and sailor who was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. He was born in England in 1540 and grew up at sea as the son of a farmer and preacher. Throughout his career, Drake attacked Spanish settlements and destroyed Spanish ships under orders from the Queen of England. He explored areas across Europe, South America, North America, Asia, Africa, and returned to Europe after becoming the first to sail around the entire world. Drake died on his 56th birthday in 1596.
Jaques cartier
Jacques Cartier was a French explorer who made three voyages to North America in the 1500s. He explored parts of Canada and the Maritimes, hoping to find a western passage to Asia. On his second voyage, he sailed up the St. Lawrence River and visited Quebec and Montreal. His men suffered through a harsh Canadian winter, with many dying of disease. Cartier was the first European to document the name "Canada" when referring to lands along the St. Lawrence River.

The document summarizes the Marqués de Rubí report from 1754-1785 regarding changes in Spanish Texas. It notes that France lost land after wars with Britain and Spain gained the Louisiana territory. De Rubí inspected the northern borderlands in 1766 and found the presidios threatened. He recommended abandoning settlements east of a new frontier line and consolidating the Spanish population in San Antonio for stronger defense. Texas policies from 1773-1785 followed this plan, relocating settlers from East Texas to San Antonio and later founding Nacogdoches. A peace treaty was signed with the Comanche in 1785.

The document summarizes Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle's expedition to establish a French colony near the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1684. La Salle built Fort St. Louis after missing the river's mouth and landing in Matagorda Bay. However, the colony struggled with hunger, disease and Indian attacks. By 1689, the Karankawa Indians had destroyed the fort after most of the colonists perished. This established France's claim to Louisiana but was later found abandoned by the Spanish.

Stephen F. Austin went to Texas after his father Moses Austin's death to carry out plans to settle Texas. He received permission from Mexican authorities to establish an American colony in Texas. Austin offered attractive land grants and terms to attract settlers, allowing them to own large tracts of land in exchange for developing the territory. He established strict guidelines requiring settlers to become Mexican citizens and convert to Catholicism. The first group of settlers arrived in Texas in 1821 on Austin's ship the Lively, bringing supplies to establish the colony.
Tx history-ch-6.5
Life in the Spanish missions in Texas consisted of daily prayer and work from dawn to dusk under the direction of priests and soldiers. Men tended crops while women did tasks like making pottery, weaving, and cooking. The Spanish hoped the native Indians would adopt Catholicism and European ways of life, but they often maintained their traditional celebrations and customs. Overall, life was harsh with dirt floors, open windows, and occasional food shortages, though some missions had better conditions than others. Nearby presidios provided protection for the missions and supervised the Indians, and towns developed diverse populations and the beginnings of local government.

The Spanish returned to East Texas in 1716 to establish new missions after ignoring the region for over 20 years due to failures of earlier missions. They were alarmed by the presence of a French trader in East Texas as Spain prohibited French trade in New Spain. Domingo Ramon led an expedition to East Texas in 1716 where he and St. Denis, serving as a guide, were warmly welcomed by the Tejas Indians. They established the mission of Nuestro Padre San Francisco de los Tejas and five other missions in East Texas.

Texas has a variety of climates that influence its landscape and human activity. The climate is affected by its location, winds, proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, elevation, and rainfall levels which increase from west to east. Texas experiences tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, and blizzards. Native plants like wildflowers provide habitat for wildlife but some animals' habitats have been destroyed, causing some to go extinct.

The document discusses disputes between Spain and the United States over borders and territory from 1775 to 1819. It describes how the growing power and expansion of the United States posed a threat to Spanish control of Texas and Louisiana. Specifically, it outlines tensions over where the border between Texas and Louisiana should be located, with the US claiming the Rio Grande and Spain claiming farther east. In 1806, a temporary solution was reached to establish a neutral zone, but the issue was finally resolved by the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1819, which gave the US control of Florida in exchange for relinquishing claims to Texas.

Stephen F. Austin established the first colony in Texas and helped settle hundreds of families there despite facing many hardships. Early problems included droughts, crop failures, and Indian attacks. To defend the colony, Austin set up militias and established a headquarters. By 1824, 297 families had received land and became known as the "Old Three Hundred," most of whom were farmers or slaveholders from the southern US. The capital of Austin's colony was San Felipe de Austin. Between 1825-1831, Austin acquired contracts for four additional colonies.

The state also has several river systems that flow into the Gulf of Mexico like the Rio Grande and its tributaries. While Texas has few natural lakes, it has many reservoirs and aquifers that provide important water sources, such as the Ogallala Aquifer and Edwards Aquifer.

The document discusses different types of maps and their components. It explains that maps have grid systems using lines of latitude and longitude to determine absolute location. Key parts of maps include a compass rose to identify directions, a scale to convey distances on the map compared to real-world distances, and a legend to explain any symbols used. Common types of maps are reference maps, thematic maps, and those using different map projections.

The document discusses the Spanish mission system in North America. The Spanish established missions along their northern border to convert Native Americans to Catholicism, develop the borderlands, and represent Spanish rule. Missions included religious communities located near water with amenities. They taught Indians agriculture and religion, though some resisted. Presidios were military bases, while civilians lived in towns and ranchos near the missions and presidios. Missions were also established in New Mexico and Texas, though a Pueblo revolt forced the Spanish out of New Mexico temporarily.

Most early settlers in Texas were farmers from the United States, drawn by cheap land and easy payment terms, as well as seeking to escape debts from an economic depression. By 1834, the population of Texas was estimated at 21,000, with 15,000 from the United States and 4,000 Tejano residents, mostly living in San Antonio or Nacogdoches. Settlers arrived by wagon trains, horseback, walking, or water transportation, usually settling along rivers and streams in areas with fertile soil.

The document summarizes life in early Texas under Mexican rule after Mexico became a republic in 1824. It discusses how the Mexican Constitution of 1824 formed the state of Coahuila y Texas and gave states strong local control, similar to the US Constitution. However, it established Roman Catholicism as the official religion and did not have separation of church and state. Most Texans disliked being united with Coahuila as they wanted more local autonomy. Tensions also increased over slavery as Mexican laws restricted it while many US settlers brought slaves to Texas.

The document discusses Texas establishing diplomatic relations with other nations after gaining independence from Mexico in 1836. It notes that Texas wanted Mexico to recognize its independence, but Mexico refused. Texas sent diplomats to the United States and Europe to gain recognition. By 1837, France, Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands had recognized Texas, which was important for immigration, trade, and loans. However, Mexico still refused to recognize Texas.

Farming dominated the early Texas economy in the 1820s-1830s, with families working large plantations that specialized in crops like cotton. Ranching also thrived by taking advantage of the good pastures for raising cattle and livestock. Businessmen operated under a free enterprise system and engaged in trades like crafts, merchanting, and blacksmithing due to the limited money supply and need for barter. Poor transportation infrastructure, with inadequate roads and rivers, posed challenges for economic growth and trade in early Texas.

Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 after a prolonged fight. Agustín de Iturbide declared himself ruler but proved unpopular and was forced to step down, leading Mexico to become a republic. Meanwhile, Tejano ranchers lived along the Rio Grande, with some wealthy ranchers living in fort-like houses and others in small mud huts. As Mexico took control of Texas, it continued Spain's policy of secularizing missions and placing former mission lands under local control, while also having to determine policies around settlement and immigration.
Chapter10.3
The document summarizes events in Texas in the 1830s leading up to the Texas Revolution for independence. It describes how Texans held two conventions, in 1832 and 1833, to protest Mexican policies restricting immigration and taxation. The conventions called for allowing more U.S. immigration, separating Texas from Coahuila, and establishing public schools. Stephen F. Austin lobbied for the conventions' resolutions but was later arrested in Mexico for advocating that Texas organize its own government.
Tx history-ch-14.2
Texas faced ongoing conflicts with Mexico following its revolution for independence. Mexico contested Texas' claim that its southern border was the Rio Grande river. In 1841, President Lamar of Texas sent 320 troops on the Santa Fe expedition to expand Texas' control into western lands, but they were captured by Mexican forces and imprisoned. Texas also used its small navy to put pressure on Mexico for recognition of Texas' independence, though this further strained relations between the two countries.

The Gulf Coastal Plain region of Texas is divided into 5 subregions. The Piney Woods subregion is heavily forested and located in eastern Texas. It contains the Big Thicket National Preserve. The Gulf Coastal Plain subregion near the coast contains many bayous and includes the cities of Houston and Corpus Christi. Houston is the largest city in Texas. The South Texas Plains subregion includes the Rio Grande Valley and its largest city is San Antonio. The Post Oak Belt subregion contains lignite and its largest city is Bryan-College Station. The Blackland Prairie subregion has rich black soil suitable for farming and contains the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Austen- Coronado
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was a Spanish explorer born in 1510 in Salamanca, Spain. He became the governor of New Galicia after sailing to Mexico with Admiral de Mendoza. In 1540, Coronado led an expedition from Mexico into what is now the United States, becoming the first European to explore this area, in search of the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. Though he found no gold cities, he did discover the Grand Canyon and open up new lands for Spanish exploration. His expedition did not directly benefit Spain financially but increased geographic knowledge of the territory.
Coronado presentation
Francisco Vásquez de Coronado led a large expedition from Mexico between 1540-1542, becoming the first European to explore parts of modern-day Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas. Coronado hoped to find wealthy civilizations and precious metals, but instead encountered native peoples like the Zuni and Hopi who were poor. His men became the first Europeans to see the Grand Canyon. Coronado continued east in search of the mythical wealthy land of Quivira, but found only Native American villages and returned to Mexico disappointed after two years of exploring without finding the riches he sought.

Gold rush mine
- In 1848, James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California, sparking the California Gold Rush. Over 300,000 people migrated to California in the following years seeking fortune and opportunity.
- Gold mining transformed California from a sparsely populated territory into a major economic and political force. San Francisco grew from a small settlement of a few hundred residents to a boomtown of over 25,000 people by 1850.
- Miners used simple techniques like panning in rivers and streams or more advanced methods like rocking cradles to extract millions of dollars worth of gold from California's soils and waterways between 1848 and 1856. However, the backbreaking work of mining was difficult and most prospect

World War II began in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. The US joined the war in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Texas contributed greatly to the war effort through training soldiers at military bases, producing goods for the war, and Texans enlisting to fight. Key Allied leaders like Eisenhower and Nimitz led the forces. Germany surrendered in 1945, but the war continued in the Pacific until the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender and end World War II.

After World War I, demobilization led to an economic boom as farms and factories increased production to replace wartime needs. However, it also caused labor unrest as returning soldiers sought jobs and displaced groups like women and African Americans. This period saw the founding of civil rights groups like the NAACP and LULAC to protect minority communities, but also controversies like accusations of impropriety around Governor "Ma" Ferguson's pardons and contracts.

During the Spanish-American War in 1898, over 10,000 Texans fought including Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders regiment. The war increased Texas' role in global affairs. The Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920 caused refugees to flee to Texas and conflicts with local authorities. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, around 200,000 Texans served while the state's economy boomed supplying needs for the war.

This document summarizes the birth of the oil industry in Texas. It describes how demand for kerosene rose after its use in lamps was developed, leading to the initial search for oil. The first major strike in Texas was at Spindletop in 1901, where the gusher shot 70,000 barrels of oil per day. This triggered an economic boom but also led to overproduction that drove prices down. While Spindletop's reserves were soon drained, it marked the start of Texas establishing itself as a leader in oil production.
Tx23.3
The oil boom in Texas in the early 1900s led to the rapid growth of boomtowns as thousands of people moved to oil fields and nearby towns in search of work. This caused towns like Beaumont and Sour Lake to become crowded, dirty, and rough very quickly. The development of the automobile, which used gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, helped ensure the success of the growing oil industry. The oil industry also led to new petrochemical industries that produced synthetic rubber, plastics, and carbon black. The Texas legislature began regulating the oil industry to protect groundwater and prevent waste. Revenue from taxes on oil have benefited education in Texas through the Permanent University Fund, which provides funding for the University of Texas
Tx23.2
Wildcatters, or independent explorers, took significant risks searching for new oil fields in Texas in the early 1900s. Some of the earliest and largest oil fields were discovered, including at Sour Lake in 1893 and the East Texas oil field in the 1930s, which became one of the largest oil fields in the world. As more oil fields were found across Texas, the oil industry grew significantly and operators had to develop ways to transport and market oil and natural gas.

Spanish settlers first established cattle ranching in Texas in the 1700s, driving herds of longhorn cattle north from Mexico to supply missions along the Rio Grande and San Antonio Rivers. By the 1800s, Tejano ranchers had established cattle ranching as the primary economic activity in Texas, driving longhorn cattle to markets in New Orleans and other states. However, problems with rustlers and limited access to markets kept the cattle industry in Texas relatively small until after the Civil War, when Union blockades during the war prevented Texas longhorns from being driven out of state, allowing their numbers to grow substantially.
Tx history 21.4
Joseph Glidden, an Illinois farmer, invented barbed wire in the 1870s, making large-scale fencing inexpensive and easy. This led to the closing of the open range as ranchers began fencing off their land, ending the era of free-roaming cattle. However, the introduction of barbed wire also caused conflicts known as range wars between small landowners and ranchers over blocked roads and fences surrounding water sources. State legislatures eventually passed laws against fence cutting and requiring gates to be placed along fences. The closing of the open range transformed cattle ranching and marked the end of an important period in the history of the American West.

The document discusses ranching in South Texas and the Panhandle region. It describes the King Ranch, which was once over 1 million acres and is still larger than Rhode Island today. It also established the towns of Kingsville and Raymondville. In the Panhandle, the removal of Native Americans opened the land for cattle ranching, with the Ogallala Aquifer providing water and windmills later expanding farming. Large ranches were established like the JA Ranch and XIT Ranch, which covered 3 million acres, almost the size of Connecticut, and ran 150,000 cattle. Cowboys faced many dangers and hardships despite the romanticized myths of their lifestyle.

By the end of 1861, there were 25,000 Texans fighting for the Confederacy in regiments of about 1,000 soldiers each. Major battles took place in the East around Washington D.C. and Richmond as well as in the West around the Mississippi River Valley, which was a key strategic area.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
