It's even in the FAQ included in the Gnus manual:

,----[ (info "(gnus)[4.1]") ]
| Question 4.1
| ............
| 
| When I enter a group, all read messages are gone. How to view them
| again?

,----[ (info "(gnus)Selecting a Group") ]
| `SPACE'
|      Select the current group, switch to the summary buffer and display
|      the first unread article (`gnus-group-read-group').  If there are
|      no unread articles in the group, or if you give a non-numerical
|      prefix to this command, Gnus will offer to fetch all the old
|      articles in this group from the server.  If you give a numerical
|      prefix N, N determines the number of articles Gnus will fetch.  If
|      N is positive, Gnus fetches the N newest articles, if N is
|      negative, Gnus fetches the `abs(N)' oldest articles.
| 
|      Thus, `SPC' enters the group normally, `C-u SPC' offers old
|      articles, `C-u 4 2 SPC' fetches the 42 newest articles, and `C-u -
|      4 2 SPC' fetches the 42 oldest ones.

Bye, Reiner.
