    　　Many women in Western society, aware of the power of names to influence identity, are aware that choosing how to identify themselves after marriage can be a significant decision．They may follow the tradition of taking their husband's last name, hyphenate(用连字符连接)their own name and their husband's, or keep their birth name．One fascinating survey revealed that a woman's choice is likely to reveal a great deal about herself and her relationship with her husband．Women who took their husband's name placed the most importance on relationships, with social expectations of how they should behave rated second and issues of self coming last．On the other hand, women who kept their birth names put their personal concerns ahead of relationships and social expectations．Women with hyphenated names fell somewhere between the two other groups, valuing self and relationships equally．

    　　There is good and bad news for parents today．The word “mother” has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language．But “father” failed even to make it on to the list of the 70 best words compiled(汇编)in a survey of thousands of non-English speakers across the globe．From Ankara to Zurich, “mother” was voted above “love” “smile” and “blossom”．

    　　“Mother-in-law” was also nowhere to be seen．Funny that maybe the hyphens(连字符)disqualified it．

    　　In second place was “passion”, followed by “smile” “love” and “eternity”, with “fantastic(难以置信的)”“destiny” “freedom” “liberty” and “tranquility” completing the top 10．

    　　The results were revealed by the British Council which carried out a huge survey of more than 40,000 people in 102 non-English speaking countries．

    　　The study was undertaken to celebrate the group's 70th anniversary－and it threw up a few surprising entries to the list．

    　　“It's interesting that ‘mother’, the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll(投票)”, said British Council spokesman Greg Selby．“It is great to see words in the survey that are so positive and suggestive of the British Council's purpose－words such as freedom’ ‘liberty’ ‘peace’ ‘renaissance’ and ‘destiny’．”

    　　Those surveyes were allowed to choose their words on either meaning or sound, said Mr．Selby．This explained why words that are satisfying to pronounce, like “flip-flop”, made the list．

    　　Famous mothers like Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer have all done their bit to make the word popular．

    　　Kate, 28, even pulled out of Woody Allen's new film to spend more time with her young family．

    　　Singer Robbie Williams is proud to declare his love for his mother, while comedian Peter Kay endured a marathon British tour to pay for a new house for his mom．

    　　The mood was added to by Britney Spears, yesterday as she expressed her love for her mother．

    　　She said：“My mom was and still is a supermom．She is just so much fun and I think the reason why I relate to her so well is because she's young mom．”

    　　She added：“Mom, thanks for being the best role model-you rock．”

    　　Several years ago I worked in an office, which I had a locust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull, unfortunately this happened to be the room assigned to me and I was depressed by it for quite some time.

    　　When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree. Secretly, I was very happy because I had thought it had died.

    　　One morning when I opened the window for fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office but I couldn’t name it. Suddenly, I realized it was the locust tree! The tree that I thought dead was blossoming in full glory.

    　　From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms and every year was eager to see spring again.

    　　During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant. In autumn, the leaves turned into many different colors. Its beauty touched my soul. Many times I thought to take photos but never did. Then I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life it became a great regret that I had not done so.

    　　Actually, many times in our lives, we think we own something, therefore we don’t cherish it. We don’t feel regretful until we lose it one day! Moreover, sometimes, we have to accept the things we don’t want and need to discover the hidden beauty to find unexpected joy!
