“What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ”But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal.
Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other names—like John and David, Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.
People in America don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B. J. or R. C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar. What’s in a name? A world of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English
speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said,“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends
upon the name it bears.”

Marie and Michael had been dating for some time, and felt fortunate that even though they had different jobs, they were able to talk with each other through their work almost every day. Michael is a police officer, and Marie is a “911” dispatcher(调度员), both working for the same police department.
One day, Marie received a call from Michael who said he was out on the road in his patrol car.
“Marie, would you do me a favor?”
“Sure,” Marie answered, happy to have an excuse to talk to him.
“Could you check a license plate for me? I need to see if this guy has any unpaid warrants(罚单).” Michael explained.
“Okay, spell it for me.”
Michael phonetically spelled out the license plate, using code names, as all police officers do, so Marie would be sure to get the right letter:
William Ida Lincoln Lincoln
Young Ocean Union
Mary Adam Robert Robert Young
Mary Edward
As she did hundreds of times a day, Marie wrote down the letters on a piece of paper, typed them into her computer, and started to run the license check. At first, she was puzzled. This license plate number was too long,even for a personalized plate. Her coworkers, who were in on Michael’s “plan”, finally had to say, “Marie, what do those letters spell?”
This time, Marie read just the first letters of each word out loud:W-I-L-L Y-O-U M-A-R-R-Y M-E?
With a cry of joy, Marie was all smiles as she got back on the phone to Michael, who was obviously not following any imaginary “driver” with the fictitious plates but was anxiously waiting in his patrol car for her response.
“Michael, are you there?” Marie began. “Yes, Marie?” he responded, his voice cracking a bit with nervousness.
“My answer is: yes!”
There was no “copping out”(回避) on this proposal!
56.Michael asked Marie to check a license plate for him because .
A.he was too busy to check out the identity of the driver himself
B.he wanted to ask her to marry him in this way
C.Michael needed the information urgently
D.Michael didn’t have access to a computer at that time
57.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.Marie didn’t find the meaning of the letters at first.
B.Michael had difficulty in finding the owner of the license plate.
C.Marie’s co – workers intended to play a joke on her.
D.Michael was asking Marie for help.
58.We can learn from the passage .
A.Marie found the owner of the plate with the help of her coworkers
B.Michael was following a suspicious driver that day
C.Marie was not good at license check
D.Marie understood Michael’s intention at last
