　　April 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play tricks on others (戲弄?jiǎng)e人) .If one succeeds in tricking somebody, one laughs and says, ‘April Fool’ , and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs too.

　　One April 1st , a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped. The driver anxiously turned switches and pressed buttons (扭開關(guān)，按按鈕.) ,but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with a worried look on his face and said. ‘This poor bus is getting old. It isn't going as well as it used to. There's only one thing to do if we want to get home today. I shall count three, and on the word ‘ three’ , I want you all to lean forward suddenly as you can. That should get the bus started again, but if it doesn't, I' m afraid there is nothing else I can do. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready. ’

　　The passengers get ready and waited anxiously.

　　Then the driver turned to his front and asked ‘Are you ready?’

　　The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer, ‘Yes’.

　　‘ One ! Two ! Three ! ’ counted the driver . The passengers all swung forward suddenly and the bus started up at a great speed .

　　The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with relief(寬慰地笑了) . But their smile turned to surprise and then laughter when the driver happily cried, ‘April Fool ! ’

　　“English may be the global language of business but it is not enough by itself for companies to gain a lasting presence in many markets,” the European Commission(委員會(huì))says in a study published last month．

　　The study collected by the British National Centre for Languages for the EU leader, says over 10 per cent of 2,000 small and medium-sized(中等規(guī)模的)firms in 29 European countries sampled(抽樣)in the study have lost export contract(出口合同)because of lack of language skills．The study says French is used to trade with partners in Africa, Spanish in Latin America, and Russian in Eastern Europe．

　　“The picture is far more complex than the much-quoted view that English is the world language,” the study says．

　　Multilingual(多種語言的)Commissioner Leonard Orban admitted that English plays an important role worldwide, but he wants to improve more linguistic variety within the EU．

　　The EU's linguistic headaches have exploded with the group's expansion．Languages have become a sensitive topic in Brussels where English is increasingly eclipsing(侵蝕)French as the main working language of the organization．Translation of EU papers into EU's 23 official languages costs 1 billion euros(US ＄1.31 billion)a year．

　　“We want to be open not only to official languages of the Union, but also to others like regional(區(qū)域的)languages, languages of minorities, immigrants'(移民)languages and third countries' languages,” Orband said．

　　Many EU students have improved their language skills during non-formal learning activities．Young people from more than 20 different nationalities travel across Europe to participate together in many cultural programmes, language courses, thematic workshops(主題研習(xí)會(huì))and other activities that are organized in about 100 cities．

(1)

[　　]

A．

B．

Last month．

C．

On Dec．20, 2006．

(2)

Which language is NOT mentioned in the passage?

[　　]

A．

Japanese．

B．

C．

French．

D．

Russian．

(3)

What about English in Brussels?

[　　]

A．

Many people are studying English．

B．

English is not studied by university students．

C．

Most of people are interested in Russian．

D．

English is increasingly eclipsing French．

(4)

What is the best title for the passage?

[　　]

Don't Ignore That Study
