A recent survey found that the French are the second-most insecure people in Europe after Italy about their proficiency in English. Only 13 percent of the French respondents believed they are proficient in the language, according to the European data agency Eurostat.
The situation is no better in business circles, where three-quarters of French executives feel unprepared to hold an interview in English and only 16 percent say they feel comfortable with the language, a separate survey showed.
The survey results aren't surprising. The French seem to have always had this cold and gloomy（沮丧的）attitude toward the English language. But what struck me is that, despite the French pessimism, living in Paris without being able to speak the language of Moliere is easier these days than in the past.
New immigrants are part of the reason. I can have an easy chat with the owner of the laundry in my neighborhood. Buying the medicine I need at the local pharmacy is effortless. Ordering a meal in English at the restaurant two blocks away from my apartment does not make me feel awkward. It is all because the people who run these businesses are immigrants.
Greater tolerance and acceptance of non-French speakers is a reflection of the fact that France, willingly or not, has begun to embrace(拥抱) globalization more comfortably. For instance, you will never get the same look you would have had 15 years ago if you ask for directions in English on the streets of Paris.
I have also met many native French who are happy to communicate in English. They are usually the kind of people who are open-minded and are sensitive to the changes beyond their own territories. They are very interested in gaining insight into what is happening on the other side of the globe.
In my hometown, English is also being hotly debated since Beijing education authorities decided to reduce the importance of English proficiency in college entrance exams and increase that of the Chinese language and literature. The Chinese and the French share similarities in attitudes toward foreign languages. We are both so proud of our own languages and cultures that we can feel uncomfortable when we are forced to communicate in another language.
But like it or not, English is still the most widely used language in the world, at least for the foreseeable（可预知的） future. After all, it is not about abandoning one's own language but about being able to fit more easily into this globalized world.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. French people have great difficulty speaking English.
B. English is becoming increasingly acceptable in France.
C. Great changes take place in France because of the immigrants.
D. English helps France to embrace globalization.
2.The expression “to speak the language of Moliere” can be understood as________________.
A. to speak Italian
B. to speak English
C. to speak French
D. to speak the language of an immigrant named Moliere
3.What is the purpose of mentioning Chinese in the 7th paragraph?
A. To prove Chinese and French share a lot similarities in culture.
B. To show how wise it is to reduce the importance of English in exams.
C. To explain why French people are unwilling to speak English.
D. To show how proud they are to own their own languages.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The immigrants in France speak English as their native language.
B. In France people refuse to communicate with each other in English.
C. Italians feel the most unconfident in speaking English in Europe.
D. French people are happy to face the changes in their country.
