Finding a suitable name for a baby is a ...

    Finding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China.When picking out a Chinese name,parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle.That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name,come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.

Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015,after accompanying her father on a business trip to China.One of her dad's business partners,a Mrs.Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter.Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture.The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve,so Jessup suggested the name"Eliza"after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion.Mrs.Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice."If Mrs.Wang needed this service,maybe other parents would as well,"Jessup thought.

After returning to UK,Jessup borrowed 1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website,She then spent her free time filling up a database(数据库)with around 4,000 English names,associating them with five major personality characteristics,like honesty and optimism.

In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website,but later,she started charging fees.The business is almost completely self-sufficient,requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations.She updates the database each month,allowing her to focus full-time on studies.

1.What's the purpose of Special Name?

A.To help Chinese teens go abroad.

B.To strengthen children's personalities.

C.To pick an English name for a Chinese baby.

D.To make a deal with Chinese parents.

2.What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?

A.A suggestion from a business partner. B.Her interest in Chinese culture.

C.A Chinese mother's request. D.A character from a play.

3.What did Mrs.Wang want her daughter to be in the future?

A.A woman with achievements. B.A famous actress.

C.A successful businesswoman. D.A western culture expert.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?

A.It offers free service. B.It's updated every day.

C.It's operated completely by itself. D.It is easy to manage.

 

1.C 2.C 3.A 4.D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个名为Special Name的公司专为中国婴儿取一个英文名字。同时说明了公司成立的起因是一位中国母亲的请求,以及公司成立过程和管理情况。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in.(在选择中文名字时,父母通常会选择两个或三个经过仔细思考的汉字,但在决定英文名字时,他们中的许多人都很纠结。这就是杰塞普和她的公司“Special Name”的由来。)可知Special Name的目的是给一个中国婴儿取一个英文名字。故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture.(她爸爸的一位生意伙伴王女士让她帮女儿选一个英文名字。Jessup感到很荣幸,并很快意识到在中国文化中选择一个合适名字的重要性。)可知一位中国母亲的要求促使Jessup设立了Special Name。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据第二段中The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion.(这个女人想让人们对她女儿的成就感到惊讶,所以Jessup建议用《皮格马利翁》(Pygmalion)中的人物伊丽莎·杜利特尔(Eliza Doolittle)来命名“伊丽莎”(Eliza)。)可知王太太希望她的女儿将来成为一个有成就的女人。故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations.(该业务几乎完全自给自足,只需要一个在中国管理技术运营的小团队。)可知从最后一段中我们可以推断出Special Name很容易管理。故选D。

Great Activities for Nature Lovers

Hiking

One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.

Backcountry Camping

Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend for a longer adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tentsleeping gear ,food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. I you’re an experienced hiker and camper ,this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.

Mountain and Road Biking

Unlike long hikes through the woods , biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes , between trees , and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain( 地形) , consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.

Gardening

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables , fruit , herbsor flowers. There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grow yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in gardening is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.

When I was studying in China, my school held a singing contest. I signed up although I really loved singing. I sang with a girl named as Jenny. She’s one of my best friend. Unfortunately, I forgot the lyrics for a moment while they sang. I was standing onstage, look nervous. Not surprisingly, we lose the contest. I felt very sadly. Jenny comforted me by saying, “There will be another chance.” One week late, at our school’s art festival, we sang a song together again. It was unforgettable and touching afternoon. I want to thank Jenny, whom didn’t give up on me when I felt down.

    After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you, which will be helpful to you.

Go to class.

If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss (错过) classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test. 1.

Take good notes.

Try not to write down everything. 2.Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review (复习) your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind. 3.

If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help or tutor (指导) you before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy (同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.

Take part in class discussions.

In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact (交流) with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation (参与) and your focus during the class discussion.4.This helps you make your point clear in class.

Form study groups.

5.Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. Be careful! Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.

A.Talk to your teacher if you need help.

B.Don't be late for your class.

C.So if you want to study well, go to every class.

D.You should write down all the new terms.

E.All you need is to put the main points in your own words.

F.Get students together who want to do well in class.

G.If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class.
