As you are students of English, its very possible that youll be interested in England. Thats where the language was first

25、 spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names England, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of the

26、se names means. If you look at a map of Europe, youll see a group of islands one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛 ). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The sm

27、aller island is Ireland (爱尔兰 ). Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different lan

28、guage. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “t

29、he Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”,

30、and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( ) A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland (2).

Which of the following is an independent country?

33、 A. B. Wales C. Scotland D. Northern IrelandThe Republic of Ireland 2. Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go church, which disturbed some friends and rel

34、ations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father accepted their criticism. He decided to institute a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal exam

35、ination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡游 ) in my fathers 18 -foot knockabout.
