It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times. About three decades ago， French was recognized as the language of diplomacy（外交），and German was considered the language of science and technology. English now dominates（主导）not only as the language of science but also diplomacy,computing,and tourism. Today,in terms of native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the world's largest language. Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world. Some have even fixed the date as early as the year 2020. At present,while English is more widely spoken than any other language, there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone. If China does become a world power,there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide. As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues, there are many who feel that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible（不可逆的）.However，a separate study from David Graddol's suggests that English's dominance in the scientific area will continue. There is also an argument that the English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons. With the possibility of China rising as a world power, Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.

1. Which language is now considered as the language of diplomacy?

AFrench.

BChinese.

CGerman.

DEnglish.

Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five,he gave 1200 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground. As a result of his kindness,many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk,Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five.Johnson had a sense of humour（幽默）.He liked whisky（威士忌酒）and drank some each day.“I have an injection（注射）in my neck each evening,”he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky. The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain,asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

The sea is very big.Look at a map of the world.There is less land than sea.The sea covers three quarters of the world. The sea is very deep in some places. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometres deep.The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high.If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometres of water above it. If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt.Rivers,which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are less salty than other parts.There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty.Because it is very salty,swimmers cannot sink!Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down.There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are very small.It is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating them. The sea can be very cold.Divers,who dive deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal.
