Information
of Common English Names
A common English
name is usually composed of two or three parts: the first name is also called
forename. If the person is a Christian, his first name will be given at his
baptism, so it is also called the given name or the Christian name. Middle name
is the second given name. When written, middle name is often shortened to the
initial letter. Surname is often the father’s family name, so it is also called
family name or last name. For example: Anne Louise Strong, George W. Bush.
Questions:

②. Why don’t most Americans like using titles in introductions?
③. What do your American friends want to show when they address you with your
first name?

Peanuts to ThisProudly reading my words, I glanced aroundthe room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces andtears in their eyes． Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher． Having no choice, I slowlyraised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself． “What could be causingeveryone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day MissLancelot gave me the task． This was the first real talk I received in my new school． It seemed simple: go on theInternet and find information about a man named George Washington． Since my idea of history camefrom an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that namebefore． As Isearched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two peoplebearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds ofuses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America． I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant． I called my grandfather for a go flip （掷） a coin． Heads—the commander, andtails—the peanuts guy． Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who inventedpeanut butter, George Washington Carver．Weeks later, standing before thisunfriendly mass, I was totally lost． Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burningto find out what I had done wrong． As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report ison George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution．” The whole world became quiet!How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful． Heartbroken but fearless, Idecided to turn this around． I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re- no newgrade． I felt thatthe punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance． Consequently, I threw myselfheartily into my work for the rest of the school year． Ten months later, that chanceunfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with mygrandfather, now having an entirely different conversation． I smiled and flashed back tothe embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informedme of my option to skip the sixth grade． Justice is sweet!1.What did the author’s classmates thinkabout his report?
