1．English is fast becoming the language of science around the world，but what is its future among everyday speakers？One expert points out that the percentage（比率） of native English speakers is declining（降低） while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people．But English will continue to remain widespread and important．
However，British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance （主导） by the middle of this century to rank，after Chinese，about equally with Arabic，Hindi，and Urdu．"The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise，but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world，simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken，"he says．
In a recent article in the journal Science，Mr．Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon．These are Bengali，Tamil，and Malay，spoken in south and Southeast Asia．
David Crystal，the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language，says about 1.5 billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers．But another expert on the English language says Mr．Graddol underestimates（低估） the future of its dominance．"All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster， but nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this position before．"he said．

A．remain widespread and important

2．As a new driver with little experience behind the wheel，having to turn into another lane（车道） to avoid a careless driver talking on a cellphone is not something that I am prepared for．According to the New England Journal of Medicine，an accident is four times more likely to happen than normal while you are talking on the phone．Therefore，I hold the view that using a cellphone while driving should be outlawed（宣布…不合法）
Cars are two-ton weapons and should be treated as such．When drivers put a key in the engine，they are taking on the responsibility of being a driver．Answer the phone while driving is like taking the safety off a gun-at any moment something could go wrong and change a life forever．
A few countries，including Australia，Great Britain，Spain and Israel，have recognized the damage that cellphone use can cause．According to Tom Alex of The Des Moines Register，people who talk on cellphones while driving are just like drunk drivers．They are likely to make a deadly mistake，causing them to hurt themselves or someone else．
Some may think that cellphone are helpful when you need directions or are in an emergency situation．Although I agree，I believe the safest way to use your phone is to pull over to the side of the road first．Some may think that hands-free phones are less dangerous，but studies have shown that the danger remains the same with these．
Using a cellphone while driving should be outlawed．One small mistake could change your whole life．Please don't let that happen-stay off your cellphone while driving．

A．doesn't know how to drive at all
B．likes to use a cellphone while driving
