         Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names?
    There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for
    people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name
    because he wants to be different.
         People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other
    famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special
    sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they
    were born.
         Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and
    want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he
    moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese
    friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
         In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she gets married. But today,
    many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband's. Sometimes, women use their
    own name in some situations (情况) and their husband's in other situations. And some use both their own
    name and their husband's.
    1. Hanna changes here name to Anne because "Anne" is ___________ for people to remember.
    A. louder
    B. easier
    C. prettier
    D. harder
    2. Famous people want their new names to ___________.
    A. have special sound
    B. be ordinary
    C. have no meaning
    D. be unknown
    3. Mr Li uses his new name when he ___________.
    A. stays with his family
    B. is at his job
    C. is among Chinese friends
    D. comes back to China
    4. What is the best title (标题) of this passage?
    A. Family Names
    B. Women's Names
    C. Changing Names
    D. Special Names

         It can be dangerous to travel by sea. Ships sometimes sink far away from land. When this happens,
    the sailors (水手) have to get into small boats. If another ship does not come and help them and they do
    not have enough food or water, they may die.
          Most people believe we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do, we shall be very ill
    because of all the salt in the water. A doctor called Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that
    people could stay alive by drinking sea water and eating small fish, animals, and plants from the sea. On
    19 October 1953, he set out in a small boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean. He did not take any food or water
    with him. 
         Every day Dr. Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish and they had water in them.
    He took small plants from the sea, which gave him more food.
         Dr. Bombard became hot, tired and quite ill, but after 65 days at sea he was still alive. He traveled
    2750 miles from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and on 24 December 1953, he reached
    Barbados.
         He lost 20 kilos, but he showed that people could live on sea water and animals and plants in the sea.

    1. What is this story mainly about?

    A. Drinking sea water.
    B. A dying sailor.
    C. A clever doctor.
    D. A happy journey.
    2. Alain Bombard was _______.

    A. an old sailor
    B. a fisherman
    C. a teacher
    D. a doctor

    3. He went across_________ in 1953.
    A. many countries
    B. a large ocean
    C. a ship
    D. a small town
    4. He wanted to show that _________.
    A. sea water was dangerous
    B. fish and plants were good for people
    C. people could drink seawater and not die
    D. sailors often died when they were traveling on the sea
