However，we do know a lot about language，the language of today and also the language of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English，Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. On the other hand，some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.There are several important families of languages in the world. For example，most of the languages of Europe are in one large family calledIndo-European. The original（最初的）language of this family was spoken about 4500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4500 years ago.Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time，some even die out completely .About 1000 years ago English was a little-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.If a language has a large number of speakers，or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is，the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.76.The first paragraph mainly tells us that______.A. most people in the world speak ChineseB. there are thousands of languages in today’s worldC. man has much knowledge about languagesD. some people know several languages77.Most European and Indian languages______.A .will soon die out completelyB. were once a relative of EnglishC. are no longer spokenD. come from the same family78.______seems to have changed a lot.A.
