Today I visited the Smiths —my first visit to a American family. They live in a small town. It is very kind for them to meet me at the railway station or drive me to their home. The Smiths did his best to make me felt at home. They offered me with coffee and other drinks. We have a good time together. They wanted to know everything about China but asked lots of question. In fact,they are planning visit China next year.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru5 s 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 Feam 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 ten-year civil war started,which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.

Naum's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (憐酸盐) 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. Some people realised 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 almost financially mined. Experts say that it would take approximately $ 433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.

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

A special lecture began Thursday morning,given by a teacher aboard a space module about 340 km above her students on Earth,the first such attempt by Chinese.

Female astronaut Wang Yaping,one of the three crew members of Shenzhou X spacecraft,greeted about 330 primary and middle school students at a Beijing high school,through a live video feed system. uHello,everyone. I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today”> she said,smiling towards the camera,on board of the space module Tiangong I.

The students on her class included children from migrant workers’ families,of ethnic minorities (少数民族) and from Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan. They were gathering at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University in Beijing. More than 60 million students and teachers at about 80 ,000 middle schools across the country were also watching the live broadcast on TV.

The first section of the class was all about weight. Nie Haisheng,commander of the crew,made a bit show of crossing his legs into a meditation (沉思、) sitting posture in the air,which only a martial art (武术) master could do in the movies but was impossible for real people on Earth. Thanks to the weightless condition,we are all masters,M Wang joked.

Then,Wang Yaping introduced the special scale on board of the orbiter,which was designed on basis of the Newton's second law of motion,or measuring the mass of an object through the net force and the acceleration.

The lesson was aimed at making space more popular,as well as inspiring enthusiasm for the universe and science,according to Zhou Jianping,designer-in-chief of China manned space program,who added that the lesson would also accumulate experience for similar larger activities.
