One good reason for people to leam a foreign language is work. If your work
involves regular contact with (57)
■
of foreign languages, being able to talk to
them in their own languages will help you to communicate with them. It may also help you
to make sales and to negotiate and secure contracts. Knowledge of foreign language may
also increase your chances of (58)
a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer
overseas, or of going on foreign business (59)______ Many English-speaking business
people don’t bother to leam other languages because they believe
(6 0 )________most of the people they do business with in foreign countries can speak
English, and if they don’t speak English, interpreters can help. The (61)_______ of
foreign language knowledge puts the English speakers at a disadvantage. In meetings, for
example, the people on the other'side can discuss things among themselves in their own
language without the English speakers understanding, and using interpreters- slows
everything down. In any socializing after the meetings, the locals will probably (62)
________more comfortable using their own language rather than English.
B. Read through the text and say whether the following statements are True or False.
(4 points)
The human race is only one small species in the living world. Many other species
exist on this planet. However, human beings have a great influence oil the rest of the world.
They are changing the environment by building cities and villages where forests once
stood. They are affecting the water supply by using water for industry and agriculture.
They are changing weather conditions by cutting down trees in the forests. And they are
destroying the air by adding pollutants to it. It can be said that human beings are changing
the environment in all respects through their actions and by their habits. This has resulted
in two serious consequences. The first is that many kinds of rare animals

are killed. The second is that the environment where these animals are living is badly
destroyed. As a result, the number of rare animals is decreasing so rapidly that they are in
danger of becoming extinct. In order to make sure that these rare animals do not disappear,
efforts have been made to protect the environments in which they live. Scientists have
made lists of endangered species and suggested ways to save them. Many organizations
have been set up and funds have been raised. Thousands of national parks all over the
world have been established to protect endangered animals. Laws have been introduced to
prohibit the killing of endangered animals and the destruction of the environments where
these rare animals are living. If people’s interference with the environment decreases, more
species will survive and produce offspring. The Earth will be a happy planet where human
beings, animals and plants peacefully co-exist.

64. People are in danger of becoming extinct.
65. Human beings have made efforts to protect the environment.
66. People should be kept away from animals and plants.
