16．MANHATTAN，Venice，Paris …（36）D？You can not only visit them in the US，Italy and France，but also see them as the names of roads，buildings and housing estates （住宅小区） in China's different cities．（37）A，these names won't last for long．The Chinese government has started to survey and change"exaggerated （夸张的），foreign，strange"place names．According to Civil Affairs Minister Li Liguo，the name changing will be finished by June next year，and the Chinese government has called for new names that stand for China's culture，history and traditions．
（38）E，according to the Chinese government．New names have been used in an effort to present a modern and international lifestyle and to interest more tourists，according to People's Daily．One well-known example is Zhangjiajie in Hunan province．In 2010，it changed the name of one of its peaks （山峰） from One Pillar in the South （南天一柱） to Hallelujah Mountain，a place in the famous film Avatar （《阿凡达》）．
（39）G，but also misleads people，said Zhu Lijia，a professor at the National School of Administration．For example，some cities have more than one road named"Manhattan"or"Venice"，and people sometimes get confused and go to the wrong place．Besides，exaggeration in names is common．A place called"Vienna woods"may only have a few trees，and"Venice water town"may just have a small pond，said Li．

A．However
B．As a result
C．Do these places sound familiar to you
D．Have you ever heard of them
E．During the past 30 years，about 60，000 names of towns and 400，000 names of villages in China have been lost

11．Third-Culture Kids
Did you grow up in one culture，your parents came from another，and you are now living in a totally different country？If so，then you are a third-cu lture kid!
The term"third-culture kid"（or TCK） was coined in the 1960s by Dr．Ruth．She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India．Caught between two cultures，they form their very own．（36）BAbout 90 percent of them have a university degree，while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree．They usually benefit from their intercultural experience，which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals．
（37）AIn fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon．A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected．Instead，they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures．Max，for example，experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid．（38）GWhile this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world，it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships．
For a third-culture kid，it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their"home"country．After living in Australia and South Korea for many years，Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager．But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born．
（39）FShe did not share the same values as her friends'even years after going back home．
While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns，the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before．The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of"home"．（40）C As a part of the growing"culture"，TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places．
