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.

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
