问题    Ireland has a lot to offer the traveler besides its famously
green countryside and popular traditional music. It is rich on【M1】______
prehistoric and Medieval ruins, fine Georgian architecture,
and art. For those interested in literature, it is also the homeland
of a great deal of the English language’s finest writers: Swift,【M2】______
Wilde, Shaw, Yeats, O’Casey, Beckett, Behan, and—most famous
of all—James Joyce. The Irish are intense proud of their writers,         【M3】______
and literary memorials are scattered all over the country, and
frequently visited.
   Unlike Northern Ireland, about which we hear so often in the
news, the nation of Eire, that makes up most of the island, gained         【M4】______
its dependence formally in 1921 and completely separated from 【M5】______
the United Kingdom in 1949. Although memories of the long
struggle for independence are everywhere, but Ireland is also a very       【M6】______
modern nation. In the 1990s it experienced high-tech boom which 【M7】______
created widespread prosperity. In the aftermath of the dot-com bubble,
some of that prosperity have dwindled, and the Irish are struggling with   【M8】______
a declining economy; but the country is still presents a bright, modern    【M9】______
face to the world. It is a participating member of the European Monetary
Union, so we had our first chance to use Euros on this trip. Although
the bills are generic across the Union, coins have a reverse side
illustrating some aspect of their country of origin—in case of Ireland,  【M10】______
a Celtic harp.
【M5】
选项
