When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore she should be addressed(寫姓名地址) as Mrs. Sohn. President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

Mexican naming customs are different as well, When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name, Remember that in many Asian cultures , the order of first and last names is reversed(顛倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use . If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

63. The story of Bill Clinton is used to ________________.          

A. improve US-Korean relations         B. introduce the topic of the text

C. describe his visit to Korea            D. tell us how to address a person

64. The word “gears” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________________.          

A. action plans     B. naming customs   C. travel maps      D. thinking patterns

65. When a woman marries in Mexico, she ____________________.       

A. continues to use her family name      B. uses her husband’s given name

C. shares her husband’s family name      D. adds her husband’s name to hers

66. To address a married woman properly, you’d better ________________.      

A. use her middle name                 B. use her husband’s first name

C. ask her which name she likes          D. change the order of her names

Dear Ralph,

I am an university student. I once thought life at the university must be excellent, but now I changed my mind. I have three roommates, and I was the last one to  move into the dormitory. Last term, I got along peacefully and happy. But I find they are not willing to be with me now. They don't talk with me, and they've become cold toward me. Many time, I have wanted to talk with them about how I felt like, but I failed to find an opening. When leaving alone, I always recall this sadness. But I am an honest student. Why don't I win true friendship?

Brazil has nearly 5,000 miles coastline. If you go to a beach in Brazil, there will always be a volleyball game going on somewhere, and usually two or three.

     Footvolley was created in Brazil in the 1960s. It is a mix of football and volleyball, where the players must use their feet and head to get the ball over the net and into the opponents’ courts, and is also played in sand. It is one of the most popular beach sports in Brazil.
