29、y 60-day bill of exchangePassage TwoAsk a Swedish Ericsson executive Talar du Svenska? and he may well reply Yes. But only at home. At work I speak English. Ericsson is one of a growing number of European companies that use English as their official corporate language. These companies recognize and,

30、 at the same time, increase the dominance of English as the language of international communication. Soon the number of speakers of English as a second language will exceed that of native English speakers.Although a company might use English as its official language, its employees are unlikely to be

35、the business world speaking their language. At Ericsson, however, this is not the case. At the UK subsidiary, Ericsson Telecommunications, management training courses include seminars on both language and cross-cultural issues. A frequent comment made in follow-up evaluations is that increased aware

36、ness has improved communication and, more importantly, given participants a better understanding of their own language and how others might interpret it.（ ）6 Why does Ericsson use English as its official language? _.A. Because English is spoken the majority of people in the world.B. Because English
