　　　　　　　　　　 Britain and Ireland

　The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other __36　 . Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is 　37　 　into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.

　The United Kingdom is that　 38　 　of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the　 39　 　of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The　 40　 　of Ireland is self-governing. The　 41 　name of the United Kingdom is 　42　 　“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.

　43　 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest 　44　 　of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 　45 　“England” and “English” when they 　46　 　“Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 47　 . The Scots in particular are very 　48　 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 　49 　as English, and have a culture and even a 　50 　of their own.

　Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 　51 　” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 　52　 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 　53　 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 　54 　　to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.

　The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to 　55 　British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.
