【题目】In a world full of Kates and Sarahs,you might think it'd be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd. Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me. I’ll get the occasional “Your name is so pretty” after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more lustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn’t a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid (in other words, I didn't have a childhood). I couldn’t even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.

I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while l stopped correcting him, and that's been ray reaction to strangers ever since. In other cases, I'd rather tell the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.

Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I've realized it’s easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I did—so many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going out" name. It may have caused some confusion with my friends at first .who would let out a small laugh or confused look ,but I've trained them to keep a straight face whenever I came up with this fake(假的）name. Now going out on weekends means I get to have a shift of identity.

Frustrations aside, being the owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life. Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should. I also love when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles.

To any other Stacias reading this—I feel you, girl, P. S. I apologia to any real Brittanys out there. Thanks for letting me borrow your name!

【题目】In 1938 Portugal held a national competition to identify the country's most 'Portuguese” Village. Sticking to a rocky promontory（海角）far above the Beira Baixa plains, Monsanto is easily the most impressive. So it came out on top.

Cottages, a lot of which are made of very large round rocks, seem to grow out of the mountain itself. Above them rises a stone fortress(城堡), parts of which predate even the arrival of the Moors. And views across the plains are, simply put, astonishing.

Since being honored as the most Portuguese village, Monsanto has reminded largely separated from modernization. These days, goats and chickens seem to outnumber humans in the village. Most young people leave for large cities and the growing investment in the area’s heritage (遗产）has not encouraged more attractions for the younger generation. Tourists walking along the village's tiny streets can see elderly women walking and chatting in doorways.

Several houses near the village entrance are surprisingly grand. Halfway to the castle you'll come across the gruta, a cozy cave apparently once used as a pub …and still used as such. This stone fortress seems almost to have grown out of the hillside that supports it. It’s a wonderfully beautiful site, populated by wildflowers.

Alter Dom Sancho I drove out the Moors in the 12th century, the fortress was strengthened. Dom Dinis improved it, but after centuries of attacks from across the border it finally fell into ruin. Just below the entrance is a public square. To the right is a ruined Renaissance church and bell tower.

On 3 May Monsanto comes alive in the Festa das Cruzes, remembering a siege(围困）in the Middle Ages. The story goes that the starving villagers threw their Iasi lonely cow over the walls, making their enemies believe they had plenty of food, because they immediately abandoned the siege. These days, young girls throw baskets of flowers instead, after which there's dancing and singing beside the castle wall.

【1】What is Monsanto like today?

A. It has a lot of farms. B. Its youth love farming.

C. Its population is falling. D. It has become more modern.

【2】Why did the enemies end the siege?

A. They felt hungry. B. They were tricked.

C. They were attacked. D. They feared the cow.

【3】What do we know about the fortress?

A. It has long been used as a pub.

B. It was first constructed by Dom Dinis.

C. There is celebration every May beside it.

D. You have to go through it to enter the village.

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To discuss rural life in Portugal.

B. To report a national competition.

C. To explain the history of the Portugal.

D. To introduce a unique ancient village.
