Exercise 10. Read the following passages and choose the most

For many people the language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide,
Web: Three English Words” was the name of an article by Michael Specter
in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to say: “If you
want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do
it: learn English.”
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although
Internet services are rather easy to use, you will have considerable
difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact, knowledge of
English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the
Internet. Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a
few days, or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that
you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some
English, you can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least
your English should be good enough to understand commonly used
words and to know what to do on the Internet.
76. Which of the following languages is considered the language of the
Internet by many people?
A. Chinese B. Japanese C. English

D. French
77. According to the article by Michael Specter, what should you
do to take full advantage of the Internet?
A. Learn to use the Internet services B. Learn to
type fast
C. Learn the names of some websites D. Learn
English

________
A. a few hours
B. a few days
C. a few weeks

Internet.
A. have many difficulties
B. be laughed at
C. have to learn how to use Internet services for a few weeks
D. have to learn a language fluently
