for hundreds of years, the irish people fought against the english. finally, in 1921, the british government was forced to give independence to the south of ireland. the result is that today there are two “irelands”. northern ireland, in the north, is part of the united kingdom. the republic of ireland, in the south, is an independent country.in the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. this, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave ireland and live in the usa, the uk, australia and canada. as a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.for many years, the majority of irish people earned their living as farmers. today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.the irish are famous for being warmhearted and friendly. oscar wilde, a famous irish writer, once said that the irish were “the greatest talkers since the greeks”. since independence, ireland has revived

in your throat. the membranes there make mucus to keep nasal passages (鼻腔) moist and clean and to warm the air that we breathe. but sometimes our bodies make too much mucus, and it can collect at the

ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family. women went from the bakery to the butchers to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.then about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born. in a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores. the next big change in shopping in the united states was the shopping mall. a shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof. because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular. the mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping. if you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee. malls are places for teenagers to hang out. many teens will often just“go to the mall”and spend time with their friends.the recent change in american shopping was the superstore. large chain stores such as walmart, office depot and toys“r”us have been built all across the united states. because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close. they just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.and now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the states. people are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the internet. online shopping has lots of advantages. for instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day. searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores. while, online shopping also has its disadvantages. people are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. and privacy of personal information may be let out.14which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the

expresses agreement or approval._18_ some people say it came from the native american indian tribe known as the choctaw. the choctaw word “oken”means the same as the american word“okay”. experts say early explorers in the american west spoke the choctaw language in the 19th century.but many people doubt this. language expert allen walker read wrote about the word“ok”in reports published in the 1960s. he said the word began being used in the 1830s. _19_ some foreignborn people wrote“all correct”as“oll korrect”， and used the letters ok. other people say a railroad worker named obadiah kelly invented the word long ago. they said he put the first letters of his nameso and kon each object people gave him to send on the train._20_ the organization supported martin van buren for president in 1840. they called their group the ok club. the letters were taken from the name of the town where martin van buren was bornold kinderhook, new york.then there is the expression aok. it is a spaceage expression. it was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut alan shepard. he was the first american to be launched into space. his flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. shepard reported，“everything is aok.”_21_ one story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.there are also funny ways to say okay. _22_ these expressions were first used in the 1930s. today, a character on the american television series, “the simpsons”， says it another way. he says okelydokely.asome people say okeydokey or okeydoke.bstill others say a political organization invented the word.ctherefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.dbut many experts dont agree on what the expression means.elanguage experts do not agree about where the word came from.fit was a short way of writing a different spelling of the words“all correct”ghowever, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.完形填空after graduation from college, my son began to seek a job. due to the financial crisis, the competition of obtaining employment was very _23_. my son _24_ a company located in a coastal city,
