     Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their
names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it
would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his
name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.
     People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some
other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or
that have special sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents
gave them when they were born.
     Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country
and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee
when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his
family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life
easier in their new country.
     In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she gets married
(結婚). But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband's.
Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations(情況) and their husband's in other
situations. And some use both their own name and their husband's.
1. Hanna changes her name to Anne because "Anne" is __________ for people to remember.
A. louder
B. easier
C. prettier
D. harder
2. Famous people want their new names to __________.
A. have special sound
B. be ordinary
C. have no meaning
D. be unknown
3. Mr Li uses his new name when he __________.
A. stays with his family
B. is at his job
C. is among Chinese friends
D. comes back to China
4. What is the best title(標題) of this passage?
A. Family Names
B. Women's Names
C. Changing Names
D. Special Names
5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Some women don't change their own family name after they get married today.

Ann loves the underground(地鐵) in London. She always likes to travel on the underground because it is fast. She doesn't find it difficult now, as she has got used to(習慣) it.
