About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as they do today. Gone are those days when patriotism (爱国主义) towards one’s own language was a major obstacle to learning foreign languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien (外国的) rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.
Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that their native languages alone will meet the need to survive. Language skills today have become as important as other business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign language today has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even to make an impression.
All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Today’s world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world has become a smaller place. Today’s businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries. Tens and hundreds of businesses worldwide are expanding and growing their businesses by promoting them in countries other than their countries of origin. The tremendous growth of the Internet has further increased the demand for language skills. In Canada an official rule also says that all commercial establishments must have their websites created both in English and French, the official languages of the country.
Language can also ease race and border barriers. You are more welcome in an alien nation if you know the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue. People in these countries immediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culture language is the key identity. [br] Why will people in a foreign country treat you with more respect if you speak their language?
选项
A、They think you love their country.
B、It’s easier for them to communicate with you.
C、They think you understand their culture.
D、They believe you are a good language learner.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的respect将本题出处定位到末段末句。该句提到,这些国家的人们马上就会尊重你,他们认为你与他们一样重视他们的文化,因为在任何文化中,语言都是重要的身份标识。由此可知,人们尊重你是因为认为你care about their culture,[C]中提到的you understand their culture是对此的同义转述,故答案为[C]。[B]是针对末段前两句设的干扰项。[A]属于过度推断。[D]在文中未提及。
