Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant

language of international communication English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion off 1066 Until the

1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not expanded even as far as Wales,

Scotland, or Ireland However, during the course of the next two century, English began to spread around the

globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work Thus, small

enclaves of English, speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world As these communities

Read the following passage on commuting, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 15

Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again in the evening The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain Regular travellers are called commuters

The US has many commuters A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’ In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black children Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live

Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train Some spend two or three hours a day travelling,

so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside Cities are surrounded by commuter belts Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live Some places are becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities

Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers Increasing numbers of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting

Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel together Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for car-pool vehicles But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them more freedom In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take drivers into the centre

A Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district
