Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty(条约) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country's language must be treated equally. The original(原来的) six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (费时的). It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several more
countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost; there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible "translation situations" that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller Countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "No". It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions.
This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein's ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
1."...knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. " The author says this to show .
A. the importance of information
B. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people
D. the importance of thinking
2.A sound scientific theory should be one that .
A. works under one set of conditions at any time
B. leaves no room for improvement
C. does not allow any change even under different conditions
D. can be used for many purposes
3.Which of the following statements is NOT tree?
A. What works under one set of conditions at one time might work under the same conditions at other times.
B. Tools which a scientist uses for measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
C. A scientist should know more about other branches of knowledge to arrive in his achievement.
D. Knowing how to investigate, how to discover information is important to scientists.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists are different from the ordinary people.
B. The theory of relativity.
C. Exactness is the secret of science.
D. Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.
