24、 English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. However, English is also spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Carribean and Pacific islands. In these places English is often as a second language.
English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.
English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English because they are much the same. People in Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans.
English will probably be the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian. It belongs to anyone in the world. So, as middle school students, you should think about how you can use this language well because as you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.

25、Once upon a time, there was a girl named Heather. She loved her home. It was a big, two-floored house. She had lived there for practically her whole life. “Heather, will you please come downstairs? I need to talk to you about something important.” Her mother said, from downstairs. It was a chilly winter night. “Yes, mother!” Heather said, then came downstairs. “What’s up?” She asked her parents, sitting down on the sofa, beside them.
“Dear, I want to talk to you about something important. It’s about this house. You see, month by month, this place has been hard to repair, because it’s so old. We have decided to move houses.” Her mother said. Heather was shocked to hear this. “But, mother, it’s fine! I will donate my money to repair this house! Please! Let’s not move!” she said, desperate to change her mother’s mind.
Before her mother could reply, she stormed upstairs to her room. She sat on her bed and cried. “I don’t want to shift! This house isn’t all that old!” After some time, she lay down on her bed and slept.
The next day, at the breakfast, her mother sat down across from her. “Heather, I promise, you will like your new home! You’ll be used to it before you know it!” Her mother said, trying to make Heather feel better. “Ok. I hope you’re right.” Heather mumbled(咕哝). “We will move into an apartment, just 45 minutes away from this house. The house may not have as many rooms which we have here, but it has two balconies(阳台), which have spectacular views!” Her mother said excitedly.
Heather could see that her mother was excited to move. “That sounds promising! Maybe I will like it there!” she said to her mother, trying to sound cheerful. “I’m sure you will!” Her mother said.
Before Heather knew it, Sunday had come. Her packing was done, and so was her parents’. She looked around. Her house was empty. It reminded her of the first time she stepped in it when she was about 5 years old. The house was empty then, too. Nine years later, that moment repeated itself. She didn’t know why, but this seemingly unimportant moment was very heart-touching for her. She smiled. Heather went to every room, saying her goodbyes.
“Dear house, I have enjoyed our time here. But, now it’s time for me to leave. Don’t be sad! We might meet someday, again. Let us both await it. I love you! You have made my life more special, with just your presence in it. I hope you work that magic of yours on every future resident(住户)to live here. Goodbye!” She said to her house.
