To reach the world's richest country, you needn't set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a
tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this country can be
seen from the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific reaches for thousands of miles in all
directions, the nearest piece of land being Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.
Nauro is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capital's main street. The seaward
side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station
outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.
With Naurans now getting an average(平均) of $44,500 a year, the island's 60,000 people seem to have little
to worry about. A trip to the island's central hump(隆峰) tells a slightly different story.
The hump with a great deal of phosphate (磷酸盐) round is Nauru's wealth. When Nauru gained freedom
from the British government in 1908, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were
left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, which leaves enough only for another 20-25 years.
B. The most beautiful country in the world
C. A small island surrounded by the Pacific
D. A small but rich island country
B. Nauru is not large enough to build the runway of the plane the
C. Naurans are not rich enough to build a runway of the plane
D. no cars run on the main street
A. why Naurans are so rich
B. something more about Nauru
C. something for Naurans to worry about
D. how the British robbed Nauru of their wealth
B. 2,800,000 to 3,500,000 tons
C. 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 tons
D. 400,000 to 500,000 tons

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
