　　For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on 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. Then 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 tenyear 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(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.it is a stripmine. When a company stripmines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Stripmining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of 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 2，000, Nauru was almost 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.

　　20. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?

　　A. To seek help for Nauru's problems.

　　B. To give a warning to other countries.

　　C. To show the importance of money.

　　D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.

　　21. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?

　　A. Rich and powerful.

　　B. Modern and open.

　　C. Peaceful and attractive.

　　D. Greedy and aggressive.

　　阅读理解

　　A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list.It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.

　　By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop.However，the downside is that，unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear.Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿)，but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.

　　Shop staff are often campers themselves.That means they usually can give lots of advice.If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions，that will be great；if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument，then that will be worth considering；if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗)，or even bully，you then walk away.

　　The Internet is a wonderful tool，and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort，you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found.That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs.Don’t be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere，but if you see too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again.No problem.You won’t have spent anything yet，so think of it positively as a large expense saved.

　　Probably the best approach，if you have the time，is to research tents online and make a short list.Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops.Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.
