It’s ____533____ that 300 million people in China are studying, or have studied, English. That’s an impressive number and I can’t think of any other country in the world where one quarter of the ____534____, so dedicated to learning a second language. But some people are questioning whether this “craze”for studying English is worthwhile.Professor Zhang Shuhua of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says that too much emphasis is placed on learning English and that it is a waste of education resources as well as a threat to the study of Chinese. He says that having English as a compulsory course in university “has distracted much of students’ attention from specialized subjects, ”and that some students have been denied ____535____ to postgraduate education because they failed English. Others have ____536____ that studying so much English has made them poorer Chinese speakers.
Both of these criticisms are legitimate, but they beg the question of why so many Chinese still want to learn English. English, they recognize, is the lingua franca of the modern world. It is the language of business and has become the language of international  ____537____ and culture. When people from different countries get together, they ____538____speak  in  English  rather  than  try  to  translate  their  native  languages.  It  seems  that  everyone everywhere can speak at least some English.
For China to be part of that international conversation, it is ____539____ that some level of English proficiency should be achieved. But what, you may ask, about those who will never speak a word of English once they leave school? Well, for good or ill, they will still be surrounded by English. It is there in signs, in music, in movies and in the casual conversations they overhear of the ____540____ number of foreigners on the city streets. To know English is to be included in the rest of the world, even if your world is ____541____ to China
I agree with Professor Zhang on one point, through. English should not be a compulsory subject in university. For most, passing the CET is just the endless drudgery (苦差事) of memorizing word lists. There is little emphasis placed on communication. And if you can’t communicate in English after years of study in primary school, middle school and high school, a few more years in university ____542____ won’t help.
