English is fast becoing the language of science around the world， but what is its future aong everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage of native English speakers is declining (降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing nubers of people. But English will continue to reain widespread and iportant.
However，British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in doinance(主導) by the iddle of this century to rank，after Chinese，about equally with Arabic，Hindi，and Urdu. "The nuber of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise，but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the nubers of any other languages around the world，siply because the ain population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken，" he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science，r. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the ost widely spoken now ight be there soon. These are Bengali，Tail，and alay，spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal，the author of The Cabridge Encycloρedia of the English Lαηguage， says about 1. 5 billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second tongue copared to the 400 illion native speakers. But another expert on the English language says r. Graddol underestiates (低估) the future of its doinance. "All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster，but nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this position before. " he said.
71.In David Graddol' s opinion，English will .
A. reain widespread and iportant
B. be ore iportant than any other language
C. lose its doinant position
