The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a
world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
32. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Difficulties of Learning English
B. English as a World Language
C. The Standard Varieties of English
D. International Communications
33. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?
A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.
B. It is used in former British colonies.
C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.
D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.
34. What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?
A. Former colonies of Great Britain.
B. Those geographically close to the United States.
C. Those interested in the culture of the United States.
D. Countries where international conferences are held.
35. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People learn English for a variety of reasons.
B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.
C. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.
D. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working
knowledge of English.

Best friend birthday gift ideas
When your best friend's birthday is coming up, you obviously want to get them the coolest, most unforgettable gift that you can find. So, can you find them a gift that is memorable and yet practical enough to be used daily？Here are a few tips on how to find just the right best friend birthday gift.
36 The gift you choose should tell a story — even if it is one that only the two of you would know and understand. Best friends have a kind of 6th sense with each other, through which they seem to be able to almost read each other's thoughts. Find a gift that tells that story, in a small way, by relating to things you have done together and the special times you have had.
Think about their interests and hobbies. 37 What are their hobbies and interests? Do they like sports, puzzles, crime stories, skiing, country music, computers, etc.? Find a gift that reflects their interests.
38 You will want to strike the right balance between a gift that is popular but also unique to them. Go online or flip through (翻阅) your newspaper and find 510 bestselling products. 39
Do not let them think you are being cheap. You will want to find a gift that makes it seem like you spent a lot, even if you didn't. 40 For example, instead of buying 34 so-so gifts, go for one nicer gift that gives the impression of being of high quality.
A. Check out what is hot.
B. Stay within your budget.
C. Focus on what you love to do together.
D. Then, use what you find as ideas for what to buy.
E. One way to do this is to go for quality over quantity.
F. You needn't spend too much to impress your friends.
G. The gift you choose should be something that is close to his or her heart.
