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 (磷酸盐)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 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.
【小题1】What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?

Commenting on the survey carried out by One Poll for Premier Inn hotels,dreams expert Davina MacKail said:“Whether we are asleep or awake.a problem with a colleague or stress at work can really affect us.More than half of the nation stated that their dreams don’t make sense so I have worked with Premier Inn to make a Dream Dictionary to help dreamers to understand why they dream what they do and what those dreams mean.”

Back those photos up
The images were striking.Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions.
If that doesn't move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable before—including one-click access to a lifetime of family photos.
Here is a brochure (手册) on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad.
Scanning
The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format (格式).Most,printers come with scanners these days, so that's an easy but extremely time-consuming step.
Storing the photos
With your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up.
You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones.Or you could choose external (外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer.
Online backup
If you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite.
Caronite backs up 300 million files daily.Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive.But photo collection on your computer's main hard drive charges for $ 59 a year.
Cloud Storage
For folks who don't need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft's SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them.All offer free options—2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive.But if you want more, you need to pay.
Bottom Line
The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest.But drives can fail.Online services are more expensive, but more secure.With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are.
【小题1】What can we know from the passage?

A.Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot.
B.The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest.
C.Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line.
D.Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive.
【小题2】Which of the following allows storing files automatically?
A.Caronite.B.Dropbox.C.SkyDrive.D.Flash drive.
【小题3】The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A.tell real stories about storage services
B.introduce some of the storage services
C.describe the functions of storage services
D.argue about the advantage of storage services

Hikosaburo Yasuda of Nakano, Japan, plans to buy an iPad to keep up with junior members in his computer club."It's important to always try new things, otherwise you get left behind," he says.  

Yasuda is 95 years old.He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple (AAPL)'s iPad.The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since its launch in April, but doesn't break down sales figures by customer age, making it impossible to know with certainty how many seniors are buying them.However, anecdotal evidence suggests it's a hit with the elderly.
The iPad's intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it appealing to senior citizens around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly because it's very forgiving of mistakes." Miura's team uses computers to help train senior citizens to rejoin the workforce."Unlike the PC, it doesn't require previous knowledge," he says.
James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad's popularity with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Elderly users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”
The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly receptive to the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under 30, according to a report by Japan's Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and stave off dementia. "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.
【小题1】The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 2 may probably mean “     ”.

A.a hard strikeB.a heavy burden C.quite popularD.very familiar
【小题2】Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad over the PC?
A.It has intuitive interface.B.It is easier to operate.
C.It is more accessible to beginners.D.It is a good mental exercise.
【小题3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The people under thirty are the largest consumers in Japan except for the elderly.
B.The traditional customers of AAPL’s products are usually the yong.
C.The elderly will soon grow into the largest customer group in place of the young.
D.The elderly in Japan have great enthusiasm for latest hi – tech products.
【小题4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A.The iPad leads Apple to the elderly
B.Ipad hits Japan’s store shelves
C.Ipad’s arrival in Tokyo causes Uapanese to reflect
D.AAPL attempts to balance the old and the yong
