Most noticeably, a Chinese name is written with the surname first and the given name second. For example, the basketball player who is commonly called Yao Ming (whose name in the Englis h order should actually be Ming Yao), would be called “Mr.Yao”，not “Mr. Ming”．However, some Chinese people who emigrate (移民)to or do business with Western countries sometimes adopt (采纳) a westernized name by simply changing the “surname — given name”order to “given name — surname”，or adding a Western first name to their surname, which is then written in the usual Western order with the surname last. Other Chinese people sometimes take a combined name, consisting of a Western first name, surname, and Chinese given name, and keep it in that order.Traditional naming plans often followed a pattern of using a generation name as part of a two-character given name; however, this is less used today, especially in the mainland, where any given names use only one character.However, it is still the standard among the Chinese populations of Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.When a generation name is used as part of a two-character given name, it can be confusing to refer to someone by the first part of their given name only as it will generally be their generation name. This should be the case regardless of whether the surname is used. For example, referring to Zhao Baoshan as Bao or Zhao Bao would be confusing as this could just easily refer to his brother (Zhao Baohai). However, this does commonly happen in Western societies. The first part of the given name is frequently mistakenly used as the first name when the given name is not adjoined (靠近)．In addition to the given name, many Chinese have various kinds of nicknames.1．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．How a Chinese name is formed.B．What is the difference between Chinese names and Western ones.C．What a Chinese name means.D．In which way you can choose a name.2．The main idea of the first paragraph is probably that ________.A．Chinese names are easier to remember than Western onesB．Chinese names are written in the same order as Western onesC．personal names in different cultures follow different habitsD．there is a surname and a given name in both Chinese culture and Western culture3．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A．There are three ways for Chinese who want to have a foreign name.B．At present many Chinese people prefer to have two-character names.C．Many Chinese people have not only a given name but a nickname as well.D．In Chinese traditional culture, there was often one character in a given name.4．What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A．In Western culture, the generation name is not used in the first part of their given name.B．Chinese people seldom refer to others only by their generation name.C．The surname should be used when referring to a person with a generation name.D．If the generation name is close to the given name, it will be taken as the first name.Ⅶ.任务型阅读Public Speaking Training·Get a coach1．________，so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.·Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 2.________，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.·3.________If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 4.________. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.·You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 5.________. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.A．You aren't like anybody elseB．You already do lots of things wellC．Turn your back on too many rulesD．Check the rules about dos and don'tsE．Whatever the presentation, public speaking is toughF．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleepG．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worseⅧ.短文改错Recently we have hold a discussion over whether the young couples should stay with their parents and live on the income of their parents.They called “kenlaozu” in Chinese.Each student express his opinion.As far as I am concern, it is wrong for the youngsters to live in this way.They should go out to work and try their best to make a living ourselves.Although they have fewer opportunity to find jobs and get high salaries, they should at least find a proper job and try to support themselves instead staying at home.As matter of fact, their parents are becoming old and they should live happily and peaceful.It use to be very difficult to have brought their children up and they needn't have responsibility to continue to support the youngsters.课下能力提升(二)Ⅰ.1.teasing 2.stubborn 3.vivid 4.admirable 5.origin 6.apparent7.superb8．abnormal9.discouraged10.severeⅡ.1.as 2.across 3.out 4.on 5.getting 6.up7.up8.whereⅢ.1.as if to speak 2.as if angry 3.as required 4.Once begun5．When askedⅣ.1.for the street is wet 2.now that you know the fact 3.as fluently as you4．while (he was) doing his homework5．I have passed the English exam 6.Eager to see her friendsⅤ.1.writer 2.special 3.severe 4.relate5．preparations plex8．expanding9.eager10.breakthroughⅥ.1.解析：主旨大意题。

课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading — Pre readingⅠ.阅读理解AHave you ever listened to the sound of a raindrop? You might call the small sounds earth songs. Is it possible to catch earth songs, to put them into words?Long ago, poets in Japan listened, watched, and did catch the beauty of the earth's songs. They did this with the tiniest poems in the world, called haiku. A haiku is a poem that is just three lines and seventeen syllables long. And the poets who wrote them watched and listened, not only with their eyes and ears, but also with their hearts!In their haiku, the early Japanese poets caught the colors, sounds, and beauties of the seasons of the year. They sang of their islands' beauties. Their miniature poems were not meant to fully describe a scene or to explain it but rather were a flash impression.The old poets are not the only writers of haiku. Today Japanese farmers, shopkeepers, grandparents, and students write it, and because of its strong appeal, haiku is written in many other countries throughout the world.Interestingly enough, Japanese poetry has had a long and colorful history. In the prehaiku period in the early eighth century, Japanese poets wrote katauta, poems in a question-and-answer form, using two people. Each three-line verse (诗节) contained about seventeen syllables that could be delivered easily in one breath — just as one would naturally ask or answer a question. This has remained the basic pattern for traditional Japanese poetry throughout the centuries.Another form that appeared was the tanka, which contained five lines and thirty-one syllables (5-7-5-7-7), written by either one or two persons. From that evolved (发展) the renga, which contained more than one verse, or link. Written by three or more people, it could have as many as 100 links! The first verse of the renga introduced a subject. It had three lines and was called the hokku, or starting verse. Renga parties became a great pleasure.Around 1450, haikai no renga became popular. This style of linked verse contained puns (双关) and was humorous and amusing. The opening three lines were still called a hokku, and from haikai and hokku the term haiku evolved.语篇解读：本文是说明文。
