When I was a boy, children always objected 51 wearing school uniform but teachers were 52 on it because they said all of us looked 53 .

Passage One
As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England.
That’s where the language was first 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. Let’s see what each of these names means.
If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll 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 smaller 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 language. 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.
There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the
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”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?
