The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated 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 working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the sit?uations 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 lan?guage. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the im?portant 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 coun?tries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as govern?ment, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

4.It is clear that the primary duty of parents is to provide__________ (保护) for our children.

For most seventh graders, life doesn't get much harder than a history test. But for Grant Reed of Beliville, Ohio, it's his own current events that are so painful. "Honestly, I don't want to die,"Grant says. Last year, doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus found a tumour(肿瘤)in Grant's brain. They cut it out, but the surgery left him with stroke-like symptoms. Plus, he had to go through months of radia?tion and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease.

Yet, through it all, Grant has shown remarkable determination, which he owes, partly, to Ohio State Football. His parents, Troy and Denise, were both in the OSU marching band and fell in love during half-time of the Michigan game. His cat is named after the team Buckeyes. His wardrobe is painted scarlet (the colour of the team's sportswear). The point is, almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State Football―until he got sick, of course.

"I didn't like the word cancer," Grant says. So he decided not to use the word. Instead, the kid named his cancer Michigan and insisted everyone in his life refer to it as such, because Ohio State always beats Michigan. That was something he could understand and make into a competition. He was going to beat this disease.

It's now been more than a year since Grant issued that announcement. "And if you look at his scans," Dr Randal Olshefski at Nationwide Children's Hospital says, "there's nothing there. There's a big space, but there's no tumour. w

"Grant is beating Michigan. And although much of it has to go to science, don't discount the semantics(语义学)，You have to do something to make it a disease you can fight. And for Grant, that was naming it Michi?gan ,"his parents say.

This weekend, Ohio State and Michigan will be battling like their lives depend on it. But in this house * the Reed family will be watching with a calm insight: it's just a game.
