The people of the United KingdomThe United Kingdom is a nation of cities. The United Kingdom is one of the most urban nations in the world. Eighty percent of its people live in cities. London has almost 8 million people.London is the center of British life. It is the nation’s leader in economics, politics, art, education, and entertainment. It is one of the world’s great cities. People from all over the world visit London. People from many parts of the world now live there， you can hear African， Asian，and other languages spoken there. it is the capital of the United kingdom.Almost everyone in the United Kingdom speaks English. Some people in Wales speak only Welsh. Generally, however, everyone in the United Kingdom can talk with everyone in the United Kingdom can talk with everyone else. This is one way in whichthe nation is united.Another way in which the people are united is by their religion. Ninety-five percent of the British people are Protestant. The Anglican Church is the largest in England. The Presbyterian Church is the largest in Scotland. Although religion is a unifying idea for most of the nation， it divides the people in Northern Ireland.Most British citizens read and write English. This is mainly because free elementary and secondary education is given to each child in the United Kingdom. Children go to school between the ages of five and sixteen. University education， however，is limited to those who can pass strict tests.Oxford and Cambridge are two very old and respected universities in the United Kingdom. Each has been in existence for more than 600 years. There are more than forty other major universities.The British system of education has influenced the systems of education used in many other nations. Many of these nations were former colonies of Great Britain or are related to the United Kingdom today.The British people have had influence in many other parts of the world. For example， the many British ideas about society which affected the colonists of 300 years ago are still strong in the United States today. The first American universities followed the models of Oxford and Cambridge. People in this country speak， read，and write English because the United States began as thirteen British colonies.The British have also played a role in the history of many nations. At one time，Great Britain controlled a huge empire that stretched around the world. The British controlled Australia， large parts of Africa， India， Canada，and many smaller countries.Although the British Isles are a very small part of the Earth’s surface， they have produced people who have had a major role in shaping the history of the world.Over the centuries， the people of the United Kingdom have developed many traditions. Traditions are customs established by a culture over a long period of time. They are repeated in the same way for many years. They are repeated in the same way for many years. The people of the British Isles developed traditions for living，working， playing and worshiping.Many traditions developed during the Middle Ages. This was the name given to a period of time in Europe between 500 and 1 500 years ago. A way of life was established then and carried out everywhere. During this period， most people livedin villages or on Farms. There were few towns or cities. By our standards， life in these small villages changed very slowly.Most land was owned by nobles who were rich servants of the king or queen. Each noble’s land and home was called a manor. The manor was self-sufficient，producing almost everything that was needed. Food was raised in the fields. Tools were made by the blacksmith or other craft workers. Clothing was made from the wool of sheep. Except for salt and metal， the manor had little need for outside goods. There was little trade with other villages or countries. What was needed and not raised was obtained through barter. Barter is the trading of one thing for another without the use of money.The people on the manor produced many things. They raised cattle， sheep， and pigs. They plantedcrops of wheat， lye， barley， or oats. In summer，they raised cabbage and carrots. They picked fruits from the trees. They salted and dried meat and fish for winter. The village craft workers produced simple tools， carts， and clothing. The hard work of farm ing the noble’s field was done by peasants. The peasants lived on the lord’s manor for their entire lives. They were born there and they died there. Their children lived and died there as well. The peasants were part of the manor，just as the land was.。

学生年级高二教学课题Unit2 The United KingdomUnit 2 The United KingdomReadingPUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHYpeople 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 anew 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 educational 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 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.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 introduced 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.VocabularyUnit 2unite [juˈnaɪt] vi. & vt. 联合；团结kingdom [ˈkɪŋdəm]n. 王国consist [kənˈsɪst]vi. 组成；在于；一致consist of 由……组成△London Heathrow Airport伦敦希思罗机场province [ˈprɒvɪns]n. 省；行政区△River Avon [ˈeivɔn] 埃文河△River Thames泰晤士河△River Severn 塞文河divide…into 把……分成△Wales 威尔士（英）△Scotland 苏格兰（英）△Northern Ireland 北爱尔兰（英）clarify [ˈklærəfaɪ]vt. 澄清；阐明accomplish [əˈkʌmplɪʃ]vt. 完成；达到；实现conflict [ˈkɒnflɪkt]n. 矛盾；冲突unwilling [ʌnˈwɪlɪŋ]adj. 不愿意（的）；不乐意（的）break away (from) 挣脱（束缚）；脱离union [ˈju:niən] n. 联合；联盟；结合；协会△the Union Jack英国国旗credit [ˈkredɪt] n. 信任；学分；赞扬；信贷to one’s credit为……带来荣誉；值得赞扬；在……名下currency [ˈkʌrənsi]n. 货币；通货institution [ˌɪnstɪˈtju:ʃn]n. 制度；机制；公共机构△educational[ˌedʒuˈkeɪʃənl]adj. 教育的convenience[kənˈvi:niəns]n. 便利；方便rough [rʌf] adj. 粗糙的；粗暴的roughly adv. 粗略地；粗糙地△Midlands英格兰中部地区（英）nationwide [ˌneɪʃnˈwaɪd] adj. 全国性的；全国范围的attract [əˈtrækt]vt. 吸引；引起注意△historical [hɪˈstɒrɪkl]adj. 历史（上）的；有关历史的architecture [ˈɑ:kɪtektʃə(r)]n. 建筑学；建筑艺术△Roman [rɔmə]n.
