bringing home or taking out or 41 they have come home so early or late. to be interested in these things is 42 because they are not at all important. it is none of their 43 to know what neighbors do

when english rulers fried to conquer (征服) ireland. 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 warm-hearted 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 (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. different areas have different styles of old irish songs which are sung without instruments. other kinds of irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.68. what does the author tell us in paragraph 1?a. how the irish fought against the english.b.

lack of work in the countrysidec. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerd. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population 71. what can be the best title for the text?a. life in ireland b. ireland, past and presentc. a very difficult history d. the independence of ireland ewhen you walk along a street in a big city in the united states， you may see clocks in most stores. radio announcers give the correct time during the day. people there think that it is important to know the time. most americans have watches. they want to do certain things at certain times. they do not want to be late. not all people all over the world value time. suppose you visit a certain country in south america. you would find that people living there do not like to rush. if you had an appointment（约会）with someone， he would probably be late. he would not care for arriving on time. in some countries in south america， even the radio programs may not begin right on time， nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. many people regard a clock as a machine. it seems to them that a person who does everything on time is controlled（控制）by a machine. they do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives.72.there are clocks in most stores in the us cities because _. a. people in the stores want to sell these clocks b. people think it important to know the time c. bosses want to make their stores beautifuld. they neednt wear watches when they are away from home73the underlined word “rush” in the passage
