Thanks for all the response. I think plotting a cdf or taking transformation
could make the plot look better.
But my further question is how to set the breaks to make the histogram
concentrate in the interval of (0.01,0.2). I can even ignore the other parts of
the values.
Thanks!

An interesting question concerning graphical perception. As you have noted,
choice of bin boundaries in a histogram can have a big effect on how a
distribution is perceived. My $.02 (U.S.):
Histograms are a relic of manual data plotting. We have much better
alternatives these days that

The histogram is highly screwed to the right, say, the range
of the vector is [0, 2], but 95% of the value is squeezed in
the interval (0.01, 0.2).
I guess the histogram is as you wrote. See

for a short explanation.
