根据短文内容,完成下列任务。
About one hundred years ago, many educated people spoke French when they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. It has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why?
There are many reasons why English has become so popular. One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture, like movies, music, and McDonald’s has quickly spread throughout the world. It has brought its language with it.
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I don't know. It’s important to have a language that everyone has in common. Our world has become global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is a rather hard language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that?
Scientists have already tried to make an artificial(人造的) language that isn't too difficult and isn’t from any one group’s culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn't become popular. Maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long, either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language.
81. What was the world language a century ago?
82. Why has English become an international language today? Give at least two reasons.
83. What can we get from Paragraph 3?
84. In the last paragraph, what do scientists want to tell us?
85. 将第三段中划线句子翻译成汉语。
81. French.
82. Because of business and popular American culture.
83. English is a commonly used language, but it can’t become the only international language because it is hard for people to learn.
84. They have tried to make an artificial language to make people understand one another more easily.
85. 世界已经全球化,我们需要相互交流。

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already got plenty of money, he can’t get everything.
If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.
Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not ________ (78). To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
(79) Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
