34、BAs is often the case, 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 Whats your name? Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever thought about peoples names? Where do

35、 they come from? What do they mean?Peoples 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 Hel

36、en 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 Bro

37、oks probably lived near brook(小溪); 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 peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with i

38、ron 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 nat

39、ive village. The Carpenters 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 proba

40、bly 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 fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son. The

41、 Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts familys ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the ODonnells aredescendantsof the same Donnell.55. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cove

42、r?A. Peoples characters B. Talents that people possessed.C. Peoples occupations.D.Places where people lived.56. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _.A. made things with metalsB. made kitchen tools or containsC. built houses and furnitureD. owned or drove a car

Donald Greenwood D. Beatrice Smith58. The underlined word descendants” in the last paragraph means a perso

44、ns _.A. friends and relatives B. colleagues and partners C. grandparents D. later generationsCPeople around the world are superstitious about numbers; even those ancient Greeks believed that all numbers and their multiples had some mystical significance.Those numbers between 1 and 13 were in particu

45、lar to have a powerful influence over the affairs of men.For example, it is commonly said that luck, good or bad, comes in threes; if an accident happens, two more of the same kind may be expected soon afterwards. The arrival of a letter will be followed by two others within a certain period.Another

46、 belief involving the number three has it that it is unlucky to light three cigarettes from the one match. If this happens, the bad luck that goes with the deed falls upon the person whose cigarette was the last to be lit. The ill-omen linked to the lighting of three things from one match or candle

47、goes back to at least the 17th century and probably earlier. It was believed that three candles alight at the same time would be sure to bring bad luck; one, two, or four, were permissible, but never just three.Seven was another significant number, usually regarded as a bringer of good luck. The anc

48、ient astrologers believed that the universe was governed by seven planets; students of Shakespeare will recall that the life of man was divided into seven ages. Seven horseshoes nailed to a house will protect it from all evil.Nine is usually thought of as a lucky number because it is the product of

49、three times three. It was much used by the Anglo Saxons in their charms for healing.Another belief was that great changes occurred every 7th and 9th of a mans life. Consequently, the age of 63 (the product of nine and seven) was thought to be a very perilous time for him. If he survived his 63rd yea

50、r he might hope to live to a ripe old age.Thirteen, as we well know, is regarded with great awe and fear. The common belief is that this derives from the fact that there were 13 people at Christs Last Supper. This being the eve of his betrayal, it is not difficult to understand the significance give

51、n to the number by the early Christians.In more modern times 13 is an especially unlucky number of a dinner party, for example. Hotels will avoid numbering a floor the 13th; the progression is from 12 to 14, and no room is given the number 13. Many home owners will use 12 1/2 instead of 13 as their

52、house number.Yet oddly enough, to be born on the 13th of the month is not regarded with any fear at all, which just shows how irrational we are in our superstitious beliefs.59. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. If one good thing happens, two bad things will follow it.B. If one bad thing happ

53、ens, two good things will follow it.C. If one good thing happens, two more good things will follow it.D. Three good things and three bad things always come together.60. According to the passage, which of the following groups of numbers will certainly bring good luck to people?A. 3 and 7B. 7 and 9C.

54、3 and 9D. 3 and 1361. What does the underlined word perilous in paragraph 7 mean: A. dangerousB. instableC. unluckyD. unhealthy62. The ill luck associated with 13 is supposed to have its origin in _.A. legendB. popular beliefC. religion D. certain customsDThe Bowler family had a very unusual experie

55、nce this year.

56、t a telephone, computers, TV, or fast food. The bowlers wore clothes from 1900, ate only food available in England at that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul Bowler still went to work every day in a then uniform. The children changed their clothes on the way to and from school and

57、their classmates didnt know about their unusual home life.

58、troubles and worries,” Joyce said. “And I dont think their life was better or worse, there were lots of things back then that Im happy I dont have to deal with nowadays, but on the other hand life was simpler.” “We had a lot more time with our family, and it was hard being nice to each other all the
