Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“Farah,aren’t you going to invite Hafsa?”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.“Mother,you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,”Farah answered. “Really?And what are the rules?”her mother asked. “Well,only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.” “I cannot believe it,”her mother said angrily.
As Farah left the kitchen,her father called her from the living room. Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah,what has happened to your grades?You have failed in Mathematics,”her father said. Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
“Farah,it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then,I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her room and called Gina,the leader of Purple Girls Club,“Gina,can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?” Gina laughed,“Exams?Who cares about exams?” One by one,she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.
Farah knew Hafsa would help her. Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her,but Hafsa said,“If you need any help,just let me know. We can study together till your exams.”
Next Monday,as two friends entered the school together,Gina called out,“Farah,you know our rules.You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”
“Gina,I have a new rule about friendship,”Farah replied.

Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a child? Your teacher at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.
There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.
Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “ mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?
Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? I would have thought the other way around(相反) although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India ( where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan( the same situation with India) ...
If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.
When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?”
Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.
1.By saying “ Ask the people of India... and Pakistan” ( in Paragraph 4) , the author is trying to show that_______.
A. speaking the same language doesn’t necessarily bring peace
B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries
C. English doesn’t kill other languages
D. English is widely used in the world
2.What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for(代表)?
A. Language. B. Family. C. The world. D. The universe.
3.The author would probably agree that_________.
A. it’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden
B. it’s good for people from other countries to learn English
C. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens
D. English is easier to learn than other languages
4.This passage is mainly about________.
A. why English has become a global language
B. how many people in the world speak English
C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language
D. whether we need to worry about English being a world language
