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.

阅读下面短文,根据第1至第3小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。
A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious(勤勤恳恳的)way you do your job.
You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead,
experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carnegie suggested as much as more than 50 years ago hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet , despite the obvious rewards of being dedicated to office politics –a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable —or unwilling—to “play the game.”
“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative(工于心计的)behavior,” says Deborah Comeran, assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics comes from the word ‘polite’. It can mean persuading and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to seek one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of getting along with others within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people , they say, have an idealistic idea of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承),fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear, to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggest changing this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self promotion.
