The Chinesedialectsalready have more native speakers than any other language, followed by Hindi and Urdu, which have the samelinguistic(语言的)origins in northern India. English comes next with 527 million native
19、 speakers. Arabic is spoken by nearly 100 million more native speakers than Spanish, which has 389 million speakers.Which languages will lead to the future? Predictions vary, depending on your location and purpose.Hindi, Bengali, Urdu and Indonesian will control much of the business world by 2050, f
20、ollowed by Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian. If you want to get the most money out of your language course, studying one of the languages listed above is probably a safe bet.You want to speak to as many people as possible? How about Chinese, Spanish or French?1. Chinese.Although Chinese has t
21、hree times more native speakers than English, its still not as equally spread over the world. Moreover, Chinese is only rarely used in sciences and difficult to read and write.2.

22、uage, taught in schools around the world.3. French.French has lost grounds in some regions and especially in Europe in the last decades.

25、bare are often confused when used as verbs. While bare means to uncover (a part of the body or other thing) and expose it to view, the verb bear relates to carrying or supporting.

26、ning not clothed or covered. So it does make quite a difference whether someone has bear feet or bare feet.A stationery car or a stationary car?Another very common mistake is to confuse stationary and stationery. The two have the same pronunciation and their spelling is very similar, but while stati
27、onary is an adjective meaning not moving, stationery is a noun referring to writing materials.A dessert island or a desert island?While staying on a dessert island may sound quite attractive to some, youd probably be more likely to end up on a desert island after having survived a shipwreck(海难). Sim
28、ilarly to the stationary and stationery confusion, a single letter can make a big difference here. Desert can be used both as a noun and a verb, meaning a waterless, empty area and to abandon someone. A dessert, on the other hand, is the sweet course of a meal.A supermarket isle or a supermarket ais
29、le?There may be no such things as dessert islands, but what about supermarket isles? Isle and aisle are both nouns, with the former referring to an island, and the latter to a passage between rows of seats. Thus, youd perhaps come across an aisle rather than an isle while doing your grocery shopping.28. When talking about bare feet, we are referring to _?A. the furry animal B. carrying feet C. covering feet D. wearing no shoes 29. According to the text, we know an aisle can help people_.
