  In the late 1960s, southern Africa was very different from today. South Africa and Southern Rhodesia(罗得西亚) ( now Zimbabwe(津巴布韦)) were both controlled by the white people living in the country. Although the majority of the people in both of these countries were black, their governments were controlled by the white minority; they were not independent. Two independent countries a little independent as well; these two countries were Tanzania and Zambia.
  Zambia had very big problems importing the goods that it needed to buy. The reason was the most important railway lines ran South through Rhodesia and South Africa. Both of these countries were unfriendly to Zambia but Zambia was landlocked and had no ports. Zambia wanted a railway line that ran north through friendly Tanzania to the port of Dar es Salaam4. Tanzania also wanted the railway as it would help in the development of the south of the country. Both countries wanted to build a railway line from the capital of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, to the capital of Zambia, Lusaka.

  In the past, only a few specialists in a company were needed to communicate with foreign businesses. However, in these days of multinational5 companies, where workers are required to communicate with other employees from several countries, a common language is essential—and English has become the logical choice.
  Nowadays, even blue-collar workers in many companies are required to speak English. For example, just over three years ago, a Dutch company, United Pan-European Communications (UPC), was contracted to build a TV studio in Amsterdam. The job involved many electricians6—more than the company could find I the Netherlands. There were plenty of qualified7 electricians in nearby France and Belgium, but the American and Dutch executives8 of UPC wanted everyone on the job to speak and understand the same language. So, the UPC hired British electricians and flew them to Amsterdam every Monday, accommodating9 them in hotels all over the city, and flying them home Friday evenings.
  Increasingly, workers who can speak English earn salaries 25-35% higher than those who can’t. They are also eligible10 for a wider range of high-level jobs.
  The problem is that, while the ability to speak English is fast becoming essential for getting a good job, there is a shortage11 of people who can speak it. According to a recent European Commission12 report, only about 41% of continental13 Europeans can speak English, and only 29% speak it well enough to carryon a conversation. Many companies are solving this problem by setting up English language schools within the workplace. English language schools all over Europe are expanding at a huge rate, and governments are looking at ways to improve English tuition14 in schools.
  One result of this modern urge to lean English is that a generation gap is appearing. According to a European Union study, 67% of Europeans between 15 and 24 say they can speak English while only 18% of those over
