31、f countries in Central Europe to enter the European Union may offer an unprecedented chance to the continents Gypsies (or Roman) to be recognized as a nation, albeit one without a defined territory. And if they were to achieve that they might even seek some kind of formal place at least a total popu

32、lation outnumbers that of many of the Unions present and future countries. Some experts put the figure at 4m-plus; some proponents of Gypsy rights go as high as 15m.Unlike Jews, Gypsies have had no known ancestral land to hark back to. Though their language is related to Hindi, their territorial ori

33、gins are misty. Romanian peasants held them to be born on the moon. Other Europeans (wrongly) thought them migrant Egyptians, hence the derivative Gypsy. Most probably they were itinerant metal workers and entertainers who drifted west from India in the 7th century.However, since communism in Centra

34、l Europe collapsed a decade ago, the notion of Romanestan as a landless nation founded on Gypsy culture has gained ground. The International Romany Union, which says it stands for 10m Gypsies in more than 30 countries, is fostering the idea of “sell-rallying“. It is trying to promote a standard and

35、written form of the language; it waves a Gypsy flag (green with a wheel) when it lobbies in such places as the United Bations; and in July it held a congress in Prague, The Czech capital. Where President Vaclav Havel said that Gypsies in his own country and elsewhere should have a better deal.At the

36、 congress a Slovak-born lawyer, Emil Scuka, was elected president of the International Tomany Union. Later this month a group of elected Gypsy politicians, including members of parliament, mayors and local councilors from all over Europe (OSCE), to discuss how to persuade more Gypsies to get involve

37、d in politics.The International Romany Union is probably the most representative of the outfits that speak for Gypsies, but that is not saying a lot. Of the several hundred delegates who gathered at its congress, few were democratically elected; oddly, none came from Hungary, whose Gypsies are perha

38、ps the worlds best organized, with some 450 Gypsy bodies advising local councils there. The union did, however, announce its ambition to set up a parliament, but how it would actually be elected was left undecided.So far, the European Commission is wary of encouraging Gypsies to present themselves a

39、s a nation. The might, it is feared, open a Pandoras box already containing Basques, Corsicans and other awkward peoples. Besides, acknowledging Gypsies as a nation might backfire, just when several countries, particularly Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, are beginning to treat them better,

40、 in order to qualify for EU membership. “The EUs whole premise is to overcome differences, not to highlight them,“ says a nervous Eurocrat.But the idea that the Gypsies should win some kind of special recognition as Europes largest continent wide minority, and one with a terrible history of persecut

41、ion, is catching on. Gypsies have suffered many pogroms over the centuries. In Romania, the country that still has the largest number of them (more than lm), in the 19th century they were actually enslaved. Hitler tried to wipe them out, along with the Jews. “Gypsies deserve some space within Europe

42、an structures,“ says Jan Marinus Wiersma, a Dutchman in the European Parliament who suggests that one of the current commissioners should be responsible for Gypsy affairs. Some prominent Gypsies say they should be more directly represented, perhaps with a quota in the European Parliament. That, they

43、 argue, might give them a boost. There are moves afoot to help them to get money for, among other things, a Gypsy university.One big snag is that Europes Gypsies are, in fact, extremely heterogeneous. They belong to many different, and often antagonistic, clans and tribes, with no common la0nguage o

44、r religion, Their self-proclaimed leaders have often proved quarrelsome and corrupt. Still, says, Dimitrina Petrova, head of the European Roma Rights Center in Budapest, Gypsies shared experience of suffering entities them to talk of one nation; their potential unity, she says, stems from “being reg

45、arded as sub human by most majorities in Europe.“And they have begun to be a bit more pragmatic. In Slovakia and Bulgaria, for instance, Gypsy political parties are trying to form electoral blocks that could win seats in parliament. In Macedonia, a Gypsy party already has some-and even runs a munici

46、pality. Nicholas Gheorge, an expert on Gypsy affairs at the OSCE, reckons that, spread over Central Europe, there are now about 20 Gypsy MPS and mayors, 400-odd local councilors, and a growing number of businessmen and intellectuals.That is far from saying that they have the people or the cash to fo

47、rge a nation. But, with the Gypsy question on the EUs agenda in Central Europe, they are making ground.82 The Best Title of this passage is _.（A）Gypsies Want to Form a Nation（B） Are They a Nation（C） EU Is Afraid of Their Growth（D）They Are a Tribe83 Where are the most probable Gypsy territory origins

48、?（A）Most probably they drifted west from India in the 7th century.（B） They are scattered everywhere in the world.（C） Probably, they stemmed from Central Europe.（D）They probably came from the International Romany Union.84 What does the International Romany lobby for?（A）It lobbies for a demand to be a

49、ccepted by such international organizations as EU and UN.（B） It lobbies for a post in any international Romany Union.（C） It lobbies for the right as a nation.（D）It lobbies for a place in such international organizations as the EU or UN.85 Why is the Europe Commission wary of encouraging Gypsies to present themselves as a nation?（A）It may open a Pandoras Box.（B） Encouragement may lead to some unexpected results.（C） It fears that the Basgnes, Corsicans and other nations seeking separation may raise the
