题目内容

More and more Chinese are having English names, but not everyone is good at finding one. Why not offer them some help? An American girl called Lindsay Jernigan is now teaching people how to get better English names.

While working in Shanghai, Lindsay met many Chinese people with strange English names. Some of them chose a lucky number of "Seven", a favorite fruit, "Apple", and a cartoon character, "Snow White". Others had names like "July" and "Rabbit".

After noticing the problem, Lindsay had an idea. She quit her job and set up a website(bestenglishname.com)to help Chinese people get better English names.

The website helps people in two ways. After they take an online quiz, people will get five English names based on their personal information, such as age, job and even future plans. This costs 18 yuan. People can also meet with Lindsay to talk about their English name. But that costs more.

Now, about 2,000 people each day visit the website. Most of them are preparing to study or work abroad. Lindsay is planning to offer them more help, such as helping them write resumes(简历).

The Train Story

I was travelling by train one morning. Quietly reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the announcements(广播). When the trainman makes an announcement, it’s often quite boring. But this one was ________.

As I looked up from my paper, I ________ others also listening. Not only that, they smiled!

Why was so much attention being paid to this message?

As best I can remember, the trainman said, “Good morning. Ladies, Gentlemen and _______. It’s 7:35 a.m. and you'll be glad to know that we are right on time. What a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, the temperature is about 21 degrees, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. Thanks for ________ my train and I hope to see you again. Have a great day!”

Wow! Have you ever heard an announcement like that? I certainly hadn’t. As well as getting everyone smiling, there were quite a few people who started talking to one another about how good the message had made everyone feel.

The moment I got off the train, I ran into the young trainman and started to ________ him. He seemed a bit ________ at first. Continuously I said, “Well, I just wanted to thank you for your brilliant message on the way. It got everyone's attention and smile. Thank you so much for giving us such a good ________ to the day.”

That day I got two messages. The first is that people’s happiness at work shows in what they do and say. Also, the story tells me what you can get from thanking people for something they’ve done, ________ when it's not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that trainman would have when he got home, “Guess what happened to me today—a passenger thanked me!”

"Here is the shopping for Mr Green," said Dad, handing me a big plastic bag. Dad owned a milk bar, and sometimes I helped out after school with deliveries(送货).We had our regulars, but times were hard. Dad said it was the home deliveries that kept us in business. The deliveries included the tea my dad imported(进口)from Fuzhou. Dad was well-known for his tea,and people came from miles around to buy it.

I loaded up my bicycle with Mr Green's shopping. His order always included three packets of my dad's tea. How Mr Green could drink that much tea each week was a mystery to me.

"See you later, Chen," said Dad.

He always called me by my Chinese name.

My dad's parents came from China in the 1950s. I had a one-yuan coin they brought with them. I cycled out into the sun, wishing I could drive—it would be so much quicker to make deliveries.

Dad always said the exercise was good for me. I knew he was right, but I'd already decided that when I left home, the first thing I would do was to buy a car.

I loved anything to do with cars, and I'd decided I would be a mechanic, although I knew it wasn't what Dad had in mind for me. He'd already started saying to his friends, "When Chen goes to university..." If that happened,I would be the first person in my family to go,and it would be a great honor for my dad. But it wasn't what I wanted.
