　　Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they'd hardly met you, end the hopes and dreams they cared for when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, don't lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determinations, you can, too.

　　If you wish to pick up a new name, you don't need to make the switch (转换) official. Under common law, all that is necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, though, that you must use it everywhere—even with your mother—for it has become your legal name.

　　Getting friends and fellow-workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved (相关的), and you'll probably meet official resistance (阻力) too. But be sure that no law can prevent you from using whatever name you've chosen, provided that it's not for purpose if cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot get your bill under a new name, they're wrong. You don't have to show them any sort of court document (法庭公文). You have a right to be called by whatever name you choose.

　　By this time, you've probably realized that changing Your name is more complicated than changing your furniture or your hair color, though the effect can be unusually encouraging. Don't be too concerned if you have to keep reminding others of your change of a new name—keep on, and friends and lover will accept your new name. Good luck!

[　　]

A．you don't mean to have your name last a lifetime

[　　]

A．don't have to be given permission by anybody

A．some sort of court document is given to you

B．the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new name

答案：C;A;D;B
解析：

　　1．C　　导解：短文第一段讲述父母为你取名时的希望与梦想，他们希望你一生用这个名字，但如果你觉得这个名字不适合你的希望与梦想时，你可以换名字。

　　2．A　　导解：从第二段的讲述可知，如果你要换名字，没有必要make it official，按照法律，只需开始使用自己选择的名字。第三段说任何法律不能阻止你改名字。

　　3．D　　导解：第三段中提到“只要不是为了欺骗的目的”，因此选D．

The Nobel Prizes

The prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation（基金会）for outstanding achievements or contributions in these areas: chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma（证书）saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money. Often a prize is awarded to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared, maybe by two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes, scientists, inventors, writers, and diplomats（外交官）from all countries may receive a prize. Sometimes, two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. An example of this is the 1973 Peace Prize, which was awarded to Henry Kissinger of the United States and to Le Due Tho of North Vietnam for the Vietnam（越南）peace negotiations（谈判）.It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given. If there is no outstanding achievement in one of these areas, no prize is given in that area. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating（提名，推荐）and choosing Nobel Prize winners has two parts. First, nominations, or recommendations of people who might deserve（应得）a Nobel Prize, are made. The nominations in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Academy（研究员，学会）of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine or physiology are made by the Caroline Medical Institute, which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy, along with the French and Spanish Academies, makes nominations in literature. The peace prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners.

The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominees deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The Foundation may decide not to give a prize at all in any area.
