People need to relax and enjoy themselves. One way they can have a good time is to watch a baseball game or another sports event. Even thousands of years ago, groups of people gathered to watch skilled athletes（運(yùn)動(dòng)員）.

Over 2000 years ago in Greece, certain days in the year were festival days. These were holidays when people stopped work and enjoyed themselves. They liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games of skill.

The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia. It was held in honor of the Greek god Zeus（Zus）. For five days, athletes from all parts of the Greek world took part in the Olympic Games. At the Olympic Games, people could watch them box, run, jump and so on. There was a relay race between two teams of men in which a lighted torch（火矩） was passed from runner to runner. The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting. People were allowed to travel to the games safely. Thousands of people came to Olympia from cities in Greece and from her colonies（殖民地） in Africa, Asia and Italy. They met as friends to cheer for their favorite athletes and to enjoy themselves.

Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Toms Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery（奴隸制）.

As Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over 3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing states of the South. The Northern States had ended slavery. Yet, most Northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind slavery continued（繼續(xù)） in the South.

Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the story of an old slave. Tom, and Simon Legree, a slave owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom（自由）. Uncle Toms Cabin first came out（發(fā)行） in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.

People had different ideas about the book. In the north, many people finally believe that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war（戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)）. The Civil War, which lasted until 1865, finally brought an end to slavery at last.

Of course, there were many things that made the Civil War happen. Yet, Uncle Toms Cabin surely played a part（起作用）. Stowe met President Lincoln（林肯總統(tǒng)） in 1862, as Lincoln shook her hand, he said, “So you are the little woman who started the big war.”

English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.

However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主導(dǎo)) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isnt rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.

In a recent article in the Journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.

David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the worlds six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows whats going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence(證據(jù)) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster,” he said.

66. In David Graddols opinion, English will ____.

A. remain widespread and important

B. be more important than any other language

C. lose its dominant position

D. die away in the near future

67. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ____.

A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls

B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past

C. English language will soon drop in dominance

D. more and more language users will choose English

68. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English? ____.

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

69. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be mostwidely spoken? ____.

A. Malay B. Arabic C. Urdu D. German

70. What should be the best title for the passage? ____

A. English Remaining the Dominant Position

B. The Future of English?Who Knows?

C. Opinions from Different Experts

D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
