题目内容
13.Eric was known for his red hair and his bad temper,and thus he earned the name Eric the Red.Like his father Thorval Asvaldson he also killed several men in personal quarrels,one concerning the death of some of his slaves,and another concerning some wood working tools.Following these killings,he had to leave Iceland for three years.Eric lived and explored in Greenland for the full three years of his banishment(流放) from Iceland.Realizing the habitable(适于居住的) Greenland,he returned to Iceland.He persuaded 25ships to be with him on a mission to colonize(殖民) this new land.Some turned back and others were lost at sea,but Eric arrived in Greenland with about 14ships,and around 500settlers.The colony prospered( 繁荣),and Eric became a rich leader.Therefore,Eric was regarded as the discoverer of America.
Eric's son Lief was a strong leader,and an explorer himself.He sailed west and found rich lands there which he named Vinland,but soon after he returned to Greenland,the island was going through a plague (瘟疫) brought from Iceland,and many of its settlers,including Eric the Red,died.Once Greenland might have reached around 3000~4000inhabitants(居住者),but the dreams of settling further west came to little as the Greenlanders struggled to survive in their awful environment which worsened with a cooling cycle.Several hundred years after Eric and Lief the Greenlanders were cut off from Europe,the colder climate brought the Innuit peoples south,and into fight with the Vikings that survived in the terrible conditions.Around a hundred years before Columbus"discovered America",the colony in Greenland failed to support itself.No one knows if there were any survivors where they left.
