Look at the map and answer.
What is it used for
What does it show
The map shows the British Isles, the islands which make up the Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) and Ireland (Ireland and Northern Ireland).
It is used to show the four different countries that make up the UK and some of the major cities.
Read the text and answer the questions.
WHAT'S IN A NAME
The United Kingdom, Great Britain, Britain, England—many people are confused by what these different names mean. So what is the difference between them, if any Getting to know a little bit about British history will help you solve this puzzle.
In the 16th century, the nearby country of Wales was joined to the Kingdom of England. Later, in the 18th century, the country Scotland was joined to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In the 19th century, the Kingdom of Ireland was added to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Finally, in the 20th century, the southern part of Ireland
(from page 5 to page 8)
broke away from the UK, which resulted in the full name we have today: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Most people just use the shortened name: “the United Kingdom“ or “the UK”. People from the UK are called “British”, which means the UK is also often referred to as Britain or Great Britain.
The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas. They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well as share the same currency and military defence. However, they also have some differences. For example, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have different education systems and legal systems. They also have their own traditions, like their own national days and national dishes. And they even have their own football teams for competitions like the World Cup！
The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads. Next, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginnings of the English language, and changed the way people built houses.The Vikings came in the eighth century, left behind lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK. The last group were the Normans. They conquered England after the well-known Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. They had castles built all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English language.
There is so much more to learn about the interesting history and culture of the United Kingdom. Studying the history of the country will make your visit much more enjoyable. The caplital city London is a great place to start, as it is an ancient port city that has a history dating all the way back to Roman times. There are countless historic sites to explore, and lots of museums with ancient relics from all over the UK. The UK is a fascinating mix of history and modern culture, with both new and old traditions. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.
1. What are the four countries of the United Kingdom Which two were the first to be joined together
The four countries are Wales, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland. Wales and England was the first two to be joined together.
Basic background information: paragraph 1 or 2
Now answer the questions.
2. According to the text, what are two chief advantages of studying the history of a country

Cultural Note——Achilles’ heel (阿喀琉斯之踵)
Achilles was a hero in ancient Greek mythology. When he was a baby, a prophecy said he would die young.
So his mother took him to a magical river to make him invincible. She held him by his heel as she put him under the water. Later he became a great soldier, winning many battles and could not be defeated.
However, one day he was shot with a poisonous arrow in his heel. Because his heel did not go into the magical river as a baby, he died.
That is why the idiom today means someone's weakness.

Pronunciation
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
Then make the Linking sounds after the model.
