【解析】

文章主要講了大部分家長以給孩子起特殊的名字來引起其他人的注意，而特殊的名字也有其優(yōu)勢和劣勢。

【1】句意：他們想要其他人來注意他們的孩子。

動(dòng)詞短語want sb. to do“想讓某人做某事”，結(jié)合空缺處和方框內(nèi)的單詞，可知需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，表示“注意”用notice，由前面的動(dòng)詞不定式符號to，所以空處用動(dòng)詞原形notice，故答案為notice。

【2】句意：我們有時(shí)候用特殊的名字比用普通的名字更加能記住別人。

根據(jù)空后名詞names“名字”，可知需要填入一個(gè)形容詞，這里表示兩者的比較with unusual names better than ones with _2__ names.根據(jù)句意，結(jié)合所給單詞，可知與形容詞unusual“不尋常的”相對應(yīng)的詞為形容詞ordinary“普通的”，故答案為ordinary。

【3】句意：這些名字對于老師們來說很難發(fā)音。

根據(jù)unusual names can cause problems.“不尋常的名字會(huì)引起問題�！苯Y(jié)合所給單詞，可猜測這些名字對于老師們來說很難讀或很難發(fā)音。pronounce“發(fā)音”，動(dòng)詞。固定句型sth.be hard for sb. to do“對某人來說做某事很難”，由前面的動(dòng)詞不定式符號to，可知空處用動(dòng)詞原形pronounce，故答案為pronounce。

【4】句意：其他人可能在遇到這個(gè)人之前，對一個(gè)奇怪的名字沒有一個(gè)好的印象。

根據(jù)a __4__ name，可知需要填入一個(gè)形容詞，因?yàn)楸径沃v的是用奇怪名字的弊端，結(jié)合空缺處和方框內(nèi)的單詞，根據(jù)句意可知用strange，意為“奇怪的”，故答案為strange。
