阅读理解。

     Everyone in the world has at least one name. And to each person his name is important because it is his
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).

1. What do you only have, but others use more than yourself?

A. My hands.
B. My house.
C. My abilities(能力).
D My name.

2. Which name means"star of the sea"?

A. Nathan
B. Miriam
C. Thomas
D. Rebecca

3. Why does the writer say" to each person his name is important". Because ________

A. everyone has only one name.
B. playing a trick on yourself is very useful.
C. his name is his own
D. there are no good names or bad names

4. Which of the following is RIGHT according to (根据) this passage?

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.

An old man lived in a nice house with a large garden. He took care of his 1 all the time, watering and fertilizing(施肥)them.
One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imagining how happy he could be 2 he lived in such a beautiful place. Then, suddenly he found the old gardener was 3 . He was very surprised about this and asked, “You can’t see these flowers. 4 are you busy taking care of them every day?”
The old man smiled and said “I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, 5 I can’t see these flowers, I can touch them. 6 , I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s you.”
“Me? But you don’t know me,” said the young man.
“Yeah, it’s 7 that I don’t know you. But I know that flowers are angels(天使) that everybody 8 . We enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.”
The blind man’s work opened our eyes and 9 our hearts, which also made his life 10 . It was just like Beethoven, who became deaf in his later life and wrote many great musical works. Beethoven himself couldn’t 11 his wonderful music, but his music has 12 millions of people to face their difficulties bravely. Isn’t it one kind of happiness?
