Now it is an ecological disaster area. Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequence other countries might learn from its mistakes. 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. 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. Naurus 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. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining 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 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. 41. What might be the authors purpose in writing the text?_.A. To seek help for Naurus problems.B. To give a warning to other countriesC. To show the importance of moneyD. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.42. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? _.A. Rich and powerful B. Modern and openC. Peaceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive43. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _.

Secrets of Justin Biebers succesC With only a click of the mouse, rumours（谣言）can be forwarded between microblogs（微博）very quickly. As an example, recently, sensitive netizens discovered that some photos displayed on microblogs describing Beijings June rainstorm had actually been fabricated. S is one of the major Internet portals in China with hundreds and thousands of users, and a majority of celebrities and famous citizens have their microblog accounts on this portal. As recently as six months ago, the website decided to establish a specialized team to prove rumours and provide accurate information for its users. Tan Chao is in charge of the team.“ Before I took the job, I usually couldnt identify what information was real and what was fake. But during the process of identification, we discovered that a lot of information was false, including fake photos, fake news stories and rumours that had been spread through microblogs.” Its not just website portals which are taking on fact-checking responsibilities, but also a number of civic-minded netizens, who recently set up a Rumour Identification Federation on Ss microblog system to help netizens identify fake information online. Dian Zizheng is the team leader of the federation. He says theyve publicized more than 150 pieces which contradict rumours, which attracted more than 10 thousand visitors within two months. “We live in an age of new media, so we cant use the old methods to prove rumours. We cant wait for the media to prove the facts with related administrative（行政） departments and then release a formal announcement. We cant allow rumours to run wild and then deal with it, we need to fight rumours while theyre spreading. I think that this is the best way to deal with rumours nowadays.” Some experts say this displays the advantages of the internet compared to other traditional media. The open platform allows information to be examined and clarified by netizens. But experts like Ding Wengguo,President of the Journalism and Communication College at the China University of Political Science and Law says this self-correction function of the Internet is still quite limited. “Its still quite different to tell which information is true in such an open environment by just reading a number of different opinions on the same issue. This is something which we need to pay attention to. If society is flooded with too much false informa
