PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY
People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history.
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.
To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different ecational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
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 instrial 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 instrial 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.
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre 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 introced new words for food.
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.
SIGHTSEEING IN LONDON
Worried about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This solid stone, square tower had remained standing for one thousand years.Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a royal palace and prison combined. To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen's jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who, on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid when first built! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting. It contained statues in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out the hour. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's house in London. Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!
The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude line. It is an imaginary line dividing the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.
The last day she visited Karl Marx's statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism should have lived and died in London. Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. Sadly the library had moved from its original place into another building and the old reading room was gone. But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum. When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old Chinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.
The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle. "Perhaps I will see the Queen?" she wondered as she fell asleep.

As Victor Hugo once said,"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face'and
up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightend the lives of Americans and British though two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressd, so they could feel more content with their lives.
Not that Charlie's own life was easy ！ was born in a poor family in 1889.His parents were both poor music hall performers.You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk.Such training was common in acting families at this time,especially when the family income was often uncertain.Unfortunately his father died,leaving the family even worse off,so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.By his teens, Charlie had,through his humour,become one of the most popular child actors in England.He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks.No one was ever bored watching him-his subtle acting made everthing entertaining.
As time went by,he began making films.He grew more and more popular as his charming character,the little tramp,became known throughout the world.The tramp,shoes and a small round black hat.He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick.This character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties.He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkingd to him.
How did the little tramp make a sad situation enertaing?Here is an example from one of his most famous films,The Gold Rush.It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discoered in California .Like so many others,the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success.Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain ring a snowstorm with nothing to eat.They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner.Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti.Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak .Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe.He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment.The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!
Charlie Chaplin wrote,directed and proced the films he starred in.In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films.He lived in England and the USA but spent his last year in Switzerland,where he was buried in 1977.He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inpire people with great confidence.

人們可能會奇怪為什麼用不同的詞語來描述英格蘭、威爾士、蘇格蘭和北愛爾蘭這四個國家。如果你研究英國的歷史，你就能夠弄明白這個問題。
首先是英格蘭。威爾士於公元13世紀就同英格蘭聯合起來了。如今只要有人提起英格蘭，你就會發現威爾士總是包括在內的。然後，於17世紀英格蘭、威爾士同蘇格蘭聯合起來，名字改為大不列顛。令人慶幸的是，當蘇格蘭的詹姆士國王成為英格蘭和威爾士的國王時，這三個國家在無（軍事）沖突的情況下實現了聯合。最後在20世紀初通過同樣的和平方式，英國政府盡力把愛爾蘭也納入進來，組成了聯合王國。然而，愛爾蘭的南部卻不情願這樣並分離出去建立了自己的政府。因此只有北愛爾蘭同英格蘭、威爾士、蘇格蘭聯合起來組成了聯合王國，這一點從新的聯合王國國旗（「聯合傑克」）上就可以看得出來。
值得稱贊的是：這四個國家在一些方面（比方說在貨幣和國際關繫上），它們的確是共同合作的，但是有些制度仍然區別很大。例如，北愛爾蘭、英格蘭和蘇格蘭在教育體制和立法體制上都存在著差異，並且它們有著各自的足球隊參加像世界盃之類的比賽！
在這四個國家中，英格蘭是最大的。為了方便，它大致可以劃分為三個地區。最靠近法國的那個地區叫做英格蘭南部，中部地區叫英格蘭中部，最靠近蘇格蘭的那個地區叫英格蘭北部。你會發現大部分人口居住在南部，但是大部分工業城市在中部和北部。雖然就全國范圍來說，這些城市都不像中國的城市那樣大，但是它們都有著世界聞名的足球隊，有的城市甚至還有兩個隊！令人遺憾的是這些建於19世紀的工業城市並不能吸引遊客。要找歷史性的建築你得去羅馬人建造的更古老的但是比較小的城鎮。在那兒你能找到更多有關英國歷史和文化的東西。

❻ 高二英語必修五JOHN SNOW DEFEATS"KING CHOLERA"閱讀翻譯
John snow defeats 「king cholera」
John snow was a famous doctor in london-so expert,indeed,that he attended queen victora as her personal physician.but he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera.this was the deadly disease of its day.neither its cause nor its cure was understood.so many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem .he knew that cholera would never be co ntrolled until its cause was found.
約翰 雪是倫敦的一位非常著名的醫生,確實,他作為維多利亞女王的私人醫生來照顧她,但是當他想到幫助暴露在霍亂王疾病下的普通人時,他變的很有靈感,在那時,這是一個致命 的疾病,不論他的感染方式還是治癒方法都無從知曉,所以每次爆發的時候都有數以千計的驚恐的人喪生.約翰 學想要面對這個挑戰並且解決這個問題,他知道霍亂的起源如果無法找到,他將無法控制.
He became insterested in two theories that poissibly explained how cholera killed people.the first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air.a cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victim.the second suggested that people absorbed these disease intotheir bodies with their meals.from the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died.
他變的對可能解釋霍亂如何殺人的兩個學說感興趣起來,第一個說明霍亂在空氣中繁殖,一團危險的氣體漂浮著直到找到他的感染者,第二個表明人們在吃飯時把疾病吸收入身體,從胃裡,這病毒很快的攻擊身體並且很快導致感染者死亡.
John snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence.so when another outbreak hit london in 1854,he was ready to begin his enquire.as the disease quickly spread through poor neighbourhoods,he began to gather information.in two particular streets,the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days.he was determined to find out why.
約翰 雪懷疑第二個學說是正確的但他需要證據,所以當其他的霍亂在1854年的倫敦爆發時,他已經完成了他詢問的准備工作,當這個疾病很快傳播到窮鄰居時,他開始去收集信息,在兩個特別的街道,霍亂的爆發特別嚴重以致於有五百多人在十天內死亡,他下定了找出原因的決心.
First he marked on a map the exact places where all the died people had lived. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease.many of the deaths were near the water pump in broad street.he also noticed that some houses had had no death.he had not foreseen this ,so he made further investigations,he discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 cambridge street .they had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the punp.it seemed that the water was to blame.
首先他在地圖上標出了死去的人曾經居住過的確切地點,這給了他一個有價值的關於疾病起源的線索,在寬街上,多死去的人的居住地鄰近水泵.他也注意到了一些房子沒有人死去,他沒有對此深究,所以,他作了一個進一步的調查,他發現這些人們工作在劍橋七街的酒吧里,他們被給予了免費的啤酒所以不需要去喝水泵里的水,看起來,應該責備的是水.
Next,john snow look into the source of the water for these two streets.he found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from london.he immediately told the astonished people in broad street to remove the handle from the pump so that it could not be used.soon afterwords the disease slowed down.he had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.
接下來,約翰 雪調查這兩條街的水的起源,他發現這水來自被倫敦來的污水污染過的河流,他立刻告訴寬街上驚恐的人們移開水泵的把手從而使他不能被使用,在這之後,很快這疾病就減緩了,他展示了霍亂是通過細菌來傳播而不是一團氣體.
In another part of london,he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that were linked to the broad street outbreak. A woman,whohad moved away from broad street,liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house everyday. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinkingthe water.with this extra evidence john snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the virus.
在倫敦的其他部分,他發現其他兩個與寬街爆發有關的死亡病例來作為支持證據,一個從寬街搬走的女子,非常喜歡從那個水泵里打出的水,以致於每天她都讓那水送到她家供他飲用,在喝過水後,她和她的女兒都死去了,用這個額外的證據,約翰 雪有能力確定地宣布是被污染的水帶來了病毒.
To prevent this from happening again,john snow suggested that the source of all the water supplies be examined . the water companies were instructed not expose people to polluted water any more . finally 「king cholera」was defeated.
為了阻止霍亂的再次發生,約翰 雪建議所有的供水源頭都應該被檢查,賣水公司被命令不許再把人們暴露在污染的水之下,最終,」霍亂王」被擊敗了.
