If you look at a map of Europe, you'll see a group of islands--one larger island off the northwest coats, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列填群岛). The largest island of the British Isles in 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 anceient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different counntries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England in 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 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. "That is the official name of the country. Northern Irelnd 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?
English was first spoken in ______.
A.Britain
B.England
C.Great Britain
D.Ireland

M: Well, you do it for money, obviously, like most jobs, but I enjoyed it. I suppose I enjoy being a taxi driver, (19) because 1 can be my own boss, you know, doing what I want to do. You decide what area you're going to, when to have a break, stuff like that. (20)One thing you have to be always thinking about is where you may pick up a passenger. You're always sort of scheming to make an exact bit of money. And the relationship between reward and effort is very immediate. You make the right decision, they pay you and you get a fare.
W: How do the passenger feel when you talk to them?
M: You meet some people who aren't all that nice, (21)but the vast majority of people are very nice. If you're pleased to talk to them, they're mostly pleased to talk to you. You get a feel for people who don't want to talk to you. Ob-viously the first couple of one-word answers will tell you.
W: So you always start talking?
M: I always wish people "good morning" or "good afternoon" or whatever that gets things off to a good start, because quite a few people have a general dislike of taxi drivers.
W: Do they?
M: Well, they do. I mean, the mere fact they can't get a cab the minute they want one makes them annoyed.
