阅读理解。 When you cross over the border from England into Wales you don't have to show your passport but you do notice a difference immediately.  All the road markings and signs are shown in two languages-English and Welsh. Not all visitors to Britain know that other languages are spoken here. There's the Gaelic language in Scotland and a few people speak Comish in the southwest of England,but the most widely spoken language in the UK apart from English is Welsh. Perhaps the first Welsh word you'll see on the road into Wales is ARAF. There's a helpful English translation next to it-SLOW.  As you can see,Welsh looks quite different to English.  It sounds very different too.  If you think English pronunciation is difficult,try this: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogery-chwymdrobwllantysiliogogogoch. That's the name of a small town in Wales and,in English,it means 'The church of Saint Mary in the hollow of the white hazel tree near the rapid whirlpool and the church of Saint Tysilio near a red cave'. Welsh looks and sounds so different from English because it's a Celtic language. Celtic cultures still exist around the edges of the UK-in Wales,Scotland and Northem Ireland and also in parts of France. For hundreds of years,almost everyone in Wales spoke Welsh but nowadays there are only about 500,000 Welsh speakers-about 20% of the population. So is Welsh dying out? Not at all.  Nowadays all school children in Wales study Welsh and many choose to go to an all Welsh-speaking school. You can get public information in Welsh,speak Welsh in court or take a course at university in Welsh.  People surf the Net in Welsh,keep up with friends on Facebook and write blogs in Welsh. And by the way,' Croeso i Cymru ! '  means 'Welcome to Wales'-I hope you'll be able to visit one day. 1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A.
