According to the passage, who will benefit most from “Dads Make a Difference”?
Every morning Molly gave her father the lunch bag before he set off for work．
One morning, besides his usual lunch bag．Molly handed him a second paper bag．
“Why two bags?” her father asked．
“The other is something else, ”Molly answered．
“What’s in it?” asked her father．
“Just some stuff．Take it with you．”Molly replied．
Not wanting to discuss the matter, put both bags into his briefcase, he kissed Molly and rushed off．At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents：three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny seashell, a small doll, and 13 pennies…The busy lather smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket．Molly’s stuff included．
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he was reading a newspaper．
“Where’s my bag, Daddy?” asked Molly．
“What bag?” her father responded．
“The one I gave you this morning, ”said Molly．
“I left it at the office．Why?” said her father．
“I forgot to put this note in it, ”Molly said．“and besides, Daddy, the things in the sack are those I really like－I thought you might like to play with them．You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?”
“Oh, no, ”he said, lying．“I just forgot to bring it home．I’ll bring it tomorrow．”
While Molly hugged her father’ neck, unfolded the note that read, love you。 s he “I Daddy．” Molly had given him her treasures－all that a 7-year-old girl held dear．
Love in a paper bag, but he missed it－not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket．So back he went to the office．Just ahead of the night guard, he picked up the paper bag．He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully．The bag didn’t look SO good, but the stuff was all there and that was of great importance．
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack．It took a long time to tell．Everything had a story or a memory．
“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life, ”he thought．
We should all cherish the moment with the people we love．That’s what really matters．It’s so simple and so easily forgotten．

Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked with A, B, C andD．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．
What's in a name? Well, apparently, our general happiness．Psychologists say that what we are called has a direct connection with our well-being(幸福)．
Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest, according to research．Psychologist Dr David Holmes found that this might due to the association(联想)that others made with the name．Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, people who are seen as good natured and happy．On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders．The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality becomes shaped to fit it．Dr David Holmes said, "This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name．For example, the original meaning of Judy is 'praised挘?
Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life．In the workplace Richard and Judy are happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are happiest in relationships．At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet．
Dr Holmes said, "The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes(同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence．Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care．"
"Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious．Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these characteristics．This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies, " said Dr Holmes, "however, names connected with ordinary people are seldom chosen for their babies"．
(1)

[ ]
A．
The association people make with it．
B．
