One of the first questions anybody asks about a new-born is “what is the baby’s name?” Faced with this tiny pink new-born, we want to put a name to it, as if by doing so, we welcome it to this world of individuals. We always name the things we love. A small child will give names to even his tiniest toys or his well-chewed blanket. And the difference between “blankie” and the blanket is an entire personality.
There are many ways to choose a name for a baby. One of the most common is to use an old family name. If the family tie is strong enough, parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning. If all the men for five generations have been named Branden, who are you to complain that the name means “smelly hair”? Inspiration need not be limited to the family tree. Pick an attribute, or pick the name of an Italian city where the baby was born. Name the baby after your favorite poet or interesting scent. It can be difficult to find a perfect name for your baby. But the beauty of the process is this. By the time the baby is a few months old, his personality erases all other associations the name may hold, the evil snake or the much-loved poet fades away and the name becomes quite simply the name of your child. And you will have made the right choice.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What do we often do with the things we love?
34. Under what condition is the unpleasant meaning of an old family name often overlooked?
35. What will happen to a baby’s name after several months?
选项
A、If the family tree is fairly limited.
B、If the family tie is strong enough.
C、If the name is commonly used.
D、If nobody in the family complains.
答案
B
解析
选项中的the name和重复出现的the family表明,本题与家庭和起名有关。短文中提到,If the family tie is strong…willing to overlook…,由此可知答案为[B]。family tree意为“家谱,族谱”。
