The Dutch abandoned it in 1710, and five years later, the French came and succeeded in planting sugarcane there. It was conquered（征服） by Britain in 1810.Mauritius was extremely poor when it declared（宣告） its independence in 1968.

Some people buy as many as two or three different papers.Why do people read newspapers?Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and never completely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers.In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost.65.

Hundreds of years ago news was not completely true because it was told in spoken words.D. If you have no place to live in, you can put notice in a newspaper and then you will certainly get a room to live in. DThe Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross. The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen Daid, the Sun, and the Red Lion.
