Para2: Find out the topic sentence and supporting details.
First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.

Puzzle three: How can England be divided into three different zones?
Para. 4
England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.

Puzzle four: Why did capital London become the cultural center of England?
Para. 5-6
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the center of national government and its administration. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.
Para5&6: Find out the topic sentence and supporting details.
If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.

Can you work out why London is the
capital of England, Great Britain and
the UK?
英国的全称为大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国,主要由大不列颠岛和爱尔兰岛东北部以及附近诸多小岛屿组成。联合王国分为四个部分,分别为英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰。 伦敦是联合王国的政治行政中心,也就是通常意义上的国家首都。同时,伦敦同样是英格兰的行政中心,是其首府。此外,整个大不列颠岛的政治中心也同样在伦敦。 因此,伦敦既是英国的首都,同样还是大不列颠岛和英格兰的首府。
