The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸鹽)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top player of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island or Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately$433, 600, 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
1.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful
B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive
D. Greedy and aggressive
2.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .
A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity D. whale hunting
3.Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money
B. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money
D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
4.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously
B. The phosphate mines were destroyed
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.

Dear Thomas,
I feel sorry to know your worries about getting fatter and fatter so that you have failed
the sports test. Nothing can be more disappointment than that.
As far as I am concerned, there are many reasons cause your failure in a test. Firstly, you are very lazy to have regular sports. In fact, sports can help you keep fit and energy. Secondly, you eat too much meat, that makes you gain weight easily. Finally, you sleep more than you need. There was no denying that it is all these things that have caused your problem and your worries.
As I stated above, you should first eat less meat but more fruits and vegetable. And then you should have regular sports so that you can burn the fat that builds up in your body and to become slim.
Hope my advice is some help to you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Money is the root of all evil and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California. Berkeley, US,announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的)things, such as lie or cheat,than poorer people.
The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS,《美國(guó)國(guó)家科學(xué)院院刊》).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest (不豪華的)cars.
In another experiment,a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists,rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.
Finally,it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,’’said Paul Piif, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy(不能信賴的)or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.
1.By saying “money is the root of all evil”,the author wants to___________.
A. draw readers’ attention to the research
B. link wealth with bad behavior
C. show how the saying proves the findings
D. defend rich people who do unethical things
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did,according to the scientist quoted?
A. Most wealthy people are not trustworthy.
B. The findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further experiments.
C. Drivers of more expensive cars are more likely to break traffic rules.
D. Students from poorer families are not as honest as students from richer families.
3.Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A. To show how social status affects people's ethics.
B. To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.
C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.
D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.
4.What does the article really want to show us?
A. Money is the root of all evil.
B. The rich are more likely to act badly.
C. The saying is reasonable.
D. All rich people are untrustworthy.

Our government is trying hard to build the energy-saving society. It is everybody’s duty to work hardly and reach this goal. But, not everybody has realized the important of it. Take our school for example. Sometimes we can see that lights and computers are still on after class. Some students even forget to turn on the tap after using it and have water run all the time. Our papers are printed on only one side, which causing much waste. It’s time we did something to avoid this kind of waste. Firstly, make sure that all the lights and other electric facilities turned off when we leave the room. Try to form the habit of turning off the tap immediate after using it. What’s more, papers should be printed on both sides and reuse if possible.
