Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer.But there is one question that has millions of current answers.That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents.Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used.Some parents choose the name of a well-known person.A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things.Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook;someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road.The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations.The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals.In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village.Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter — a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities.When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray.Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman.John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name.English-speaking people added–s or–son.The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert.Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O.Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A.Places where people lived. B.People’s characters.
C.Talents that people possessed. D.People’s occupations.
According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably ________.
A.owned or drove a cart B.made things with metals
C.made kitchen tools or containers D.built houses and furniture
Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named ________.
A.Beatrice Smith B.Leonard Carter C.George Longstreet D.Donald Greenwood
The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s ________.
A.later generations B.friends and relatives
C.colleagues and partners D.later sponsors

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感覺器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.
A. a red box is heavier than a white one
B. a color has weight in one’s mind
C. white paper is lighter than red paper
D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it
Why did the scientist say colors have smell?
A. Because people can sense the light from colors.
B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.
C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.
D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.
If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ___________.
A. rise B. fall C. stay the same D. change now and then
It can be implied from the text that ___________.
A. colors have orders in weight
B. colors can change the weight of an object
C. people would stay longer in a room with red windows
D. colors can affect our mood and health
This passage is probably a ___________.
A. book review B. fiction novel C. fairy tale D. science report

I was fifteen months old, a happy, carefree kid until the day I fell.It was a bad fall.I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it.Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched the eyeball together where it was cut, leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eye.And as I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways controlled me.
Yet Mama would say to me, at every turn, "Hold your head up high and face the world." It became a litany that I relied on.She had started when I was young.She would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say, "If you hold your head up high, it will be okay, and people will see your beautiful soul." She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide.
Those words have meant different things to me over the years.As a little child, I thought Mama meant; "Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As an a dolescent, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they lilted me.My mama's words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes even if they couldn't see it on the surface.
In high school I was successful both academically and socially.I was even elected class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak.Ail I really wanted was to look like everyone else.When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world.Let them see the beauty that is inside."
When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out.He meant it.My mama's love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt.I had faced adversity, encountered my problems head on, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion for others.
"Hold your head up high," has been heard many times in my home.Each of my children has felt its invitation.The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation.

A migraine headache(偏頭疼) can cause disabling pain.People may not feel back to normal for hours or even for days.
Migraine headaches are most common among young adults and middle-aged people.In the United States, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men report having migraines.
People who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers” in different people may get a headache started.Stress can act as a trigger.
Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(氣壓) can act as triggers, but researchers say they did not have much scientific evidence of that—until now.
In a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients.The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, because of a headache.More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.
The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the hospital visits.For every increase of five degrees Celsius in air temperature, the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraine.Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to cause headaches.
A separate study has found that age, gender and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraine.It found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk.On average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines(腰圍).
Experts suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women.Doing exercises regularly is also helpful to reducing migraine headaches.
