A
Usually， when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer。 But there is one question that has millions of correct answers。 That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer， but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from？ What do they mean？
People's first names, or given names， are chosen by their parents。 Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used。 Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith； a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones。
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”； Donald means “world ruler”； Leonard means “as brave as a lion”。
The earliest last names， or surnames， were taken from place names。 A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪）; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest。
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations。 The most common occupational name is Smith， which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals。 In the past， smiths were very important workers in every town and village。 Some other occupational names are： Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart； Potter - a person who made pots and pans。
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village。 The Carpenter's great—great-great—grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size， or their special abilities。 When there were two men who were named John in the same village， the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray。 Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman。 John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer。
Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name。 English—speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John； the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell。
36. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A. Places where people lived。 B. People's characters.
C。 Talents that people possessed。 D。 People’s occupations.
37。 According to the passage， the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______。
A。 owned or drove a cart B。 made things with metals
C。 made kitchen tools or containers D。 built houses and furniture
38。 Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new—born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______。
A. Beatrice Smith B。 Leonard Carter
C。 George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood
B
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The （蓬皮杜艺术中心）Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings， sculptures， drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces， most importantly the Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938， works on paper， objects， and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities。
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning， the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain。
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities（无限）。 “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration（合作） with the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, Spain， and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg。
39。 Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?
A。 Optimistic。 B. Productive C. Generous。 D. Traditional。
40。 What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?
A. One of his masterworks。
B。 A successful screen adaptation.
C。 An artistic creation for the stage。
D. One of the best TV programmes。
41. How are the exhibits（展品) arranged at the World of Dali？

B。 By importance。
C。 By size and shape。
D. By time and subject。

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad。 He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see， people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did
In the spring， Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service。 ”Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route。” he used to say, "and a story at every one。” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside， he read her mail and helped her pay her bills。
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail。 One note left in a mailbox read。 ”Nat, take these eggs to Marian； she's baking a cake and doesn’t have any eggs。" Mailboxes might be buried in the snow， or broken， or lying on the groom， but the mail was always delivered。 On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox； Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once， the amount came to $32，000。
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death， the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories。 I thought I knew them all， but that wasn’t the case。
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles， one on each side of the street. When my dad was around， those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering： SANTA CLA
