阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案.

  Yang Zhenhua has been a taxi driver for years. He knows every corner of the city. His work usually wins him thanks except when he meets foreigners, for Yang doesn't know any English.

  “Now I study English in my free time,” said Yang in his 40s. He pulls an English textbook from the toolbox. “I study English to help with Beijing's Olympics(奥林匹克运动会),” he said proudly. Yang is just one of the millions of common people in Beijing who started to learn English when Beijing was decided to host the 2008 Olympic Games.

  Learning and speaking English is “hot” among the people of this 3,000-year-old city. From schools to factories, men and women, old and young are studying their “ABC”. Books teaching useful expressions for everyday communication(交际) are the most popular.

  Some people, such as taxi drivers, bus conductors and the police, are asked to learn basic English. Nearly 3,000 students from 50 universities in Beijing reached the streets last August as volunteers(志愿者) to teach English to the people of this city. They taught common and useful sentences, such as greeting(打招呼) and asking and answering simple questions.

  Official figures(数字) show that about 15% of Beijingers can speak English, more or less. It is said that it will rise to 70% or 80 % during the following six years. Besides, the government encourages(鼓励) the use of English in many places. The city underground railways give messages by radio in both English and Chinese.

  English, not Chinese, is used as the most important working language for the Olympic development. In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Committee(委员会), nearly all the committee members can speak English freely. Many are very good at the language.
