Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn——dogs, rats, birds can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals can't speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes(猿)can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two have learned a few words. But they are still different from us. They can't join words and make sentences. They can't think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five——but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.

Now a computer can do a lot of everyday job wonderfully.It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report, decide and control(控制)in almost every field.

Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes last. For example,my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.
People don't use their middle names very much. So "John Henry Brown" is usually called "John Brown". People never use Mr, Mrs or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr.Brown; but you should never say Mr John. They use Mr, Mrs or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.
I think this is different from Chinese names. In China, the first name is the family name, and the last name is the given name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian puts his family name Zhou first.
Sometimes people ask me about my name. "When you were born why did your parents call you Jim?" they ask. "Why did they choose that name?" The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James.James was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.
判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容,符合的用“T”表示,不符合的用“F”表示。
1. English people's family names are the last names.
( )
2. The first name is the given name for English people.
