“English is the global language.” — a headline of this
kind must have appeared in a thousand newspapers and
magazines in recent years. “English Rules” is an actual example,
presenting to the world an uncomplicated scenario suggesting the
universality of the language’s spread and the likelihood of its
continuation. A statement prominently displayed in the body of
the associated article, memorable chiefly for its alliterative
ingenuity, reinforces the initial impression: “The British Empire
may be in full retreat with the handover of Hong Kong. But from
Bengal to Belize and Las Vegas to Lahore, the language of the
sceptered isle is rapidly becoming the first global lingua franca.”
Millennial retrospectives and prognostications continued in the
same vein, with several major newspapers and magazines finding
in the subject of the English language an apt symbol for the
themes of globalization, diversification, progress and identity
addressed in their special editions.
A language achieves a genuinely global status when it
develops a special role that is recognized in every country. To
achieve such a status, a language has to be taken up by other
countries around the world. They must decide to give it a special
place within their communities, even though they may have few
(or no) mother-tongue speakers.
Salman Rushdie comments that “the English language
ceased to be the sole possession of the English some time ago”.
Indeed, when even the largest English-speaking nation, the USA,
turns out to have only about 20 percent of the world’s English
speakers, it is plain that no one can now claim sole ownership.
This is probably the best way of defining a genuinely global
language, in fact: that its usage is not restricted by countries or by
governing bodies.

Although women nowadays outnumber men in higher education, they remain strongly underrepresented in math-intensive fields.
This underrepresentation is a source of concern for two main reasons: It contributes substantially to gender inequality in the labor
market, and it represents a loss of potential talent that could in particular help meeting the growing demand of skills related to the
development of information technology and artificial intelligence.
Despite these concerns, the underrepresentation of women in math-intensive fields has remained constant or even increased in
most developed countries during the past two decades. This underrepresentation is also more pronounced in more developed
countries and in countries that are more gender equal in terms of economic and political opportunities and rights, a pattern that has
been named the “gender-equality paradox”.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going
to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had
no natural enemy apart _______________________man, but is now
under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.
The sentence “…the number of polar bears in
the wild is decreasing dramatically”; can be rewritten
without changing its meaning, as:
