that has
millions of correct answers. That question is "What's your name?" Everyone gives a different answer, but
everyone is
correct.
Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
People's first names,or given names,are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy
could be named George Washington Smith;a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means "bright" ; Beatrice means
"one who
gives happiness" ;Donald means "world ruler" ;Leonard means " as brave as a lion".
The earliest last names,or sumames,were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or
Brooks probably lived near a brook (小溪) ;someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a
long,paved road. The Greenwood
family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early sumames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is
Smith,which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past,smiths were very
important workers in every town andvillage. Some other occupational names are: Carter-a person who
owned or drove a cart;Potter-a person who made
pots and pans. The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native
village. The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin,or their size,or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village,the John with the gray hair
probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish
was probably an excellent swimmer and John Light-foot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people
added-s or -son.
The Johnsons are descendants of John;the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish
people added Mac or Mc or 0. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells
are descendants of the same Donnell.
B. People's characters.
C. Talents that people possessed.
D. People's occupations.
B. made things with metals
C. made kitchen tools or contains
D. built houses and fumiture

Dear John,
I'm sorry you didn't get the part you tried out for in that play. I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you. I think you're wrong. You're a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent . People clapped(鼓掌)every time you walked on stage(舞台). Even the other actors loved you.
All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famouse actors don't get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all , you can always give up some other time.
Love,
Jane

In the dining room of my grandfather’s house stood a massive grandfather clock. Meals in that dining room were a time for three 36 to become one. The table was always spread with 37 containing love as the main ingredient (成分). And that grandfather clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the 38 that was a part of our lives.
As a child, the old clock fascinated me. I 39 and listened to it during meals. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s ritual (老习惯). He wound (上发条) that clock with a(n) 40 key carefully each day. I remember watching 41 my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the clock. He inserted the key and wound — not too much, nor too 42 . He never let that clock wind down and 43 . He showed us grandchildren how to open the door and let us each take 44 winding the key.
After my grandfather died, it was days after the funeral 45 I remembered the clock! The tears 46 freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there quiet.
Some time later, my grandmother gave me the key. The old house was 47 . No laughter over the dinner table, no ticking or chiming of the 48 — all was still. I took the key in my shaking hand and 49 the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a 50 again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and blue eyes. He was there, 51 at me, at the secret of the clock's magic, at the key that held so much power.
I stood there, 52 in thought for a long time. Then slowly and 53 I inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my 54 . With the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather 55 again.
