Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names?
There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for
people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name
because he wants to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other
famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special
sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they
were born.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and
want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he
moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese
friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she gets married. But today,
many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband's. Sometimes, women use their
own name in some situations (情况) and their husband's in other situations. And some use both their own
name and their husband's.

| An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the 1 got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita (薄迦梵歌). One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the book like you 2 I can't understand it, and I forget it easily. What's the 3 of reading it?" The grandfather said, "Take this coal (煤炭) basket down to the 4 and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did as his grandfather 5 , but all the water ran 6 he got home. The grandfather laughed, "You'll have to move faster next time." This time the boy 7 faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was 8 to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, "I just want a basket of water. You're not 9 hard enough." The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the 10 into the river and ran hard. But there wasn't anything in it again. He said 11 ,"Look, grandpa, it's useless!" "Watch the basket." said the grandfather. For the first time the boy 12 the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into a 13 one, inside and out. "Boy, you might not understand or remember 14 when you read the book, but when you read it, you will be 15 , inside and out. That's what you got from it." | ||||
