elegant manner. "My name has always made me think I should be a cheerleader," She complained. "I just
don't feel like a Debbie!"
One day, while filling out an application form for publishing job, the young woman suddenly changed
middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie. "That was the smartest thing I ever did," She says now.
"As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie. I felt more comfortable with myself… and other people started
to take me more seriously". Two years after her successful magazine editor-friends and associates call her
Lynne.
Naturally, the name change didn't cause Debbie/Lynne's professional achievement-but it surely helped
if only by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talents. Social scientists say that what you are called can
affect your life. Through history, names have not only identified people but also described them. "As his
name is, so is he..?" says the Bible. For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserves, simpleness
or charm may be suggested by your name and encourage other people before they even meet you.
Of course, names with a good sense can work for you-even encouraging new acquaintances. A recent
survey showed that American men thought Susan to be the attractive female name, while women believed
Richard and David were the most attractive to men. One woman I know turned down a blind date with a
man named Harry because "he sounded dull." Several evenings later she came up to me at a party, pressing
for an introduction to a very nice man with whom they looked at each other all evening. "Oh," I said. "You
mean Harry?" She was ill at ease.
B. was what she happened to do when filling out the form
C. did have an effect on her success
D. entirely contributed to her luck
B. to tell her that names didn't matter really
C. to make her feel uneasy in mind
D. the person is more important than his /her name
B. quiet
C. dull
D. attractive
B. Your name is your fortune
C. Don't care much for names
D. Names and making friends
“Come in, Kim. Have a seat, please,” said Bill Williams, the manager. This was Kim's first experience with an assessment. After only six months he was due for a raise if this assessment was satisfactory.

“Yes. I see. I’m not accustomed to this, but I will try to do as you say…Bill.”
“Good, then, I expect to hear more from you at staff meetings or at any other time you want to discuss an idea with me.”
“Yes, of course. Thank you, Mr. Will…Bill.”
