      Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver. 　　
     In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (寶貴的) stone. 　　
     Parents often pick names that can be shortened (縮寫). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
(私人的) way. 　　
     For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz. 　　
     Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
because of the fame (名氣) of the footballer David Beckham.

4. Chinese and western names ______.
[     ]

         E-book is short for electronic (電子的) book. It is usually read on personal computers. Some mobile
    phones can also be used to read e-books.
         Earlier e-books were written for a specific group of readers and were about only a few subjects. With
    the development of the internet, knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books.
    This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly.
         E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don't need to go to a bookstore to buy books,
    besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many
    e-books on similar topics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and there are
    millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free. Third, more trees are saved because e-books
    don't need to be printed(印刷) on paper. Fourth, e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a
    whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader (電子閱讀器)
    without worrying about their weight.
         But e-books have certain disadvantages. They need a personal computer or an e-book reader and the
    information can be lost if its file format (文件格式) is not supported or changed in the reader's computer.
         However, e-books provide us with a new way of reading. That is good.
    1. Why is the e-book business increasing quickly? Because _____.
    A. earlier e-books are about only a few subjects.
    B. people don't like to read any paper books any more.
    C. most e-books have been written for a specific group of readers.
    D. the development of the Internet makes e-books more useful.
    2. How many advantages do e-books have according to this article?
    A. Three
    B. Four
    C. Five
    D. Six
    3. Which of the following is true according to this article?
    A. E-books can't be red on mobile phones.
    B. All the e-books on the Internet cost lots of money.
    C. E-books can make reading more convenient.
    D. You can't read e-books without a personal computer.
    4. What is the disadvantage of the e-books?
    A. You'll lose the information if its file format is not supported.
    B. You can carry hundreds of books in an e-book reader.
    C. You can buy cheap e-books anywhere.
    D. You can read e-books at any time.
    5. The author mainly tells us _____.
    A. you don't need to buy paper books in a bookstore if you read e-books.
    B. the information can be lost if its file format is changed.
    C. the development of e-books can help save the environment.
