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 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.

They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰).Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.

Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert,said,“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more requently than they did when they were young in the 1960s.In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter.It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to.Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.” Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending,the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.

The professor said,“Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East.In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from,but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.’’

Fashion designer Angela Barnard,who runs her own fashion business in London,said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years.She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties,they want to follow them.Older women are much more aware of celebrities.There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look,and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties.When I started my business a few years ago,my older customers tended to be very rich,but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 6l and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”

1.It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because___________.

A.they get tired of themselves more quickly

B.TV shows teach them how to stay in shape

C. they feel much younger now

D.clothes are much cheaper than before

2.What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?

A.They are often ignored by fashion designers.

B.They are now mole easily influenced by stars.

C.They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.

D.They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.

3.Which is the best possible title of the passage?

A.Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans.

B.The More Fashionable,the Less Expensive.

C.Unexpected changes in Fashion.

D.Boom of the British Fashion Industry
