Parents are responsible for naming your baby. Psychologists find that if people are happy with their names, they’ll be happy with themselves. Time spent considering the most fitting and pleasant name for your baby is time well spent.
1. Consider your last name when selecting a given name for your baby. The name should combine, visually and vocally, with your family name. A short first name with a short last name may sound less agreeable to the ear. If you have a short surname such as Smith, Brown, or Hill, perhaps you’d choose a longer first name. Thus, John Westermore and Meredith Brown.
2. Select a first name which is different from your surname. It is best not to use names which run together when spoken, as in Ralph Forbes or Sheri Yeets. If these names are spoken rapidly, the distinctive sounds of the separate names disappear.
3. Watch out for the spelling. An unusual change in the spelling of a name may cause some trouble for your child, as in Jyssica spelled with a “y” instead of an “e”.
4. Take care before giving your child a unisex name. There is a growing trend toward giving children names like Alex, Toby, Page, Kelly, and Jamie, names that can be used by girls or boys. In general, giving a girl a unisex name may not cause a problem, but giving a boy such a name may. A boy named Shirley or Carroll is likely to suffer teasing.
To sum up, the best name for your baby is one that you love and feel your child will be happy with. A well-chosen name is one of the most important gifts you give your baby.

Have you heard or read stories about people who are sick and have been healed by listening to music? Is it a miracle or a successful form of medicine? Can listening to music relieve pain?
Around the world，music therapy(疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain，such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments，or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or money loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. Children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat.
Why is music a useful therapy? Music is soothing and relaxing．but it also stimulates our brains. Emotionally and physically, we respond to the sounds of music. But the complexity of music(the different tempos，rhythms，melodies and harmonies) provokes(激发)the biggest response. Thus，classical music is most typically used for therapies due to complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to，it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people，helping relieve stress and anxiety
Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal disease? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release endorphins(内啡肽). Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers，and when we listen to music，our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the babies who have just been born and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a person’s heart rate. Many people are hopeful that music could replace the need for some medications(药物)that are normally used to treat certain illnesses. At present，music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals，rehabilitation centers，nursing homes，day cares，and schools.
Although music therapy is not yet considered a mainstream treatment，it is recognized more and more as a useful addition to traditional treatment. So next time you are feeling low or stressed out，put on some relaxing music and let the music heal you.
