Grace was fourteen years old and was in Grade Eight. She had a part-time job, so she had to get up at five o’clock. She was a newspaper girl.

Each morning, Grace left the house at 5:15. She always rode a bike to the corner to carry the newspapers.

In winter it was still dark when she got up, but during the rest of the year it was bright. Grace had to send newspapers to people’s houses in all kinds of weather. She tried to put each paper in the box where it would be kept safe from wind, rain or snow. Her customers thought she did a good job. Sometimes they gave her tips(小費).

Grace made about $70 each month and she was saving some of the money to go to college. She spent the rest on tapes and clothes. Once a month she got the money from her customers together. Since many of them worked during the day, Grace had to get the money at night. Sometimes when Grace was ill, her elder brother had to send the newspapers and Grace’s father had to help her.

Grace had 70 customers now, but she hoped to get more soon. Some day, if she got more customers, perhaps Grace could win a prize(獎賞) for being a very good newspaper girl. She wanted to win a visit to Europe, but she would be happy if she won a new bike.

      Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver.   
     In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (寶貴的) stone.   
     Parents often pick names that can be shortened (縮寫). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
(私人的) way.   
     For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz.   
     Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
because of the fame (名氣) of the footballer David Beckham.

1. The following are all popular names in U.S. at this moment EXCEPT            
[     ]
A. Emily    
B. Betty    
C. Emma    
D. Joshua
2. The name "Mei" in China means ______.
[     ]
A. joy    
B. beauty    
C. grace    
D. love
3. Parents in China may pick a name for their child because ______.
[     ]
A. The name can be shortened   
B. They want their child to be happy   
C. The name has a very good meaning   
D. They can call their child in a personal way
4. Chinese and western names ______.
[     ]
A. are totally (完全地) different   
B. are the same   
C. have some similarity (相同點)
