own.(自己的) You don't like it if people can't remember your name, or pronounce (发音) it wrong.
You are happy when you see your name in the newspaper or even on the blackboard. That's because it's
your own and only you can have it.
Of course, names are not important themselves. There are no"good" names or"bad" names, but they are
useful in our lives. You don't have to go around shouting "Hey, you!" or"Hello, girl with the red dress." or
"Thank you, man who lives at the end of the street." If you do, you are playing a trick on yourself.
A person's name means something. For example, John or Nathan means "present", James or Jacob means
"he follows after", Frank means"free", Charles means"strong", and Thomas is a word for"twin". Girl's name
means something, too. If you know a Mary or Miriam, her name means" star of the sea". Helen means "light",
Edith means"happiness", Rebecca means"very beautiful", and Rhoda means"a rose".
We need first names when we are at home, because it is not very often that sisters or brothers have the
same first name. But it's different when you go out to play or are at school. You may have a lot of Johns and
Davids and Sues. You may not know who is who. That's why we have last names, and really nicknames (绰
号).
B. My house.
C. My abilities(能力).
D My name.
B. Miriam
C. Thomas
D. Rebecca
B. playing a trick on yourself is very useful.
C. his name is his own
D. there are no good names or bad names
A. If people can remember your name, you'll not be happy.
B. All names have different meanings, and they are very important.
C. If you have a good name, people won't shout at you.
D. Names themselves are not important, but they are useful.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked. Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,” the boy answered.
After a short ride, the boy said and with his eyes shining, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?” Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked. He ran up to the steps.
Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three began an unforgettable holiday ride.
