Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. The family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.

    People don't use their middle names very much. So "John Henry Brown" is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you shouldn't say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

    It is different from Chinese names. In China, the first name is the family name, and the last name is the given name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian puts his family name Zhou first.

    Over the years, fried chips have become known worldwide and been enjoyed by adults and children in almost all countries. But do you know the world's First Potato Fry Museum was opened in November, 2013 in Belgium? For the fans of fried chips (French fries), they have a museum of their own!

    The world's first museum of chips, was set up by Eddy Van Belle and his son in Belgium. The museum calls itself "the first and only museum for potato fries".

    Eddy and his son are always proud of their favorite food. Eddy said, "Over the years, fries have become popular throughout the world. We are so proud that they originated from Belgium."

    "So it is normal and necessary that the first fried chips museum is opened in Belgium," Eddy added.

    The museum is in an ancient building with two floors. The museum shows a lot of exhibits, including ancient potato cutters, chip-making machines, and the pictures about the history of potatoes. You can see different potatoes and chips. You can also learn to make chips. It's a great place to learn about the history of fries and enjoy eating them, too! Do you know the biggest fun in the museum? You can eat many kinds of chips!

    In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you start. When you're learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take money for the lessons unless he's got a teacher's license. 

    Before you're allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test, you have to drive round for half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you're allowed to take it again a few weeks later. In 1970, a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you've passed your test, you're allowed to go on driving if you like, and you must be healthy. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100. 

    Before 1904, everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. In the early days of car driving, before 1978, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

Hello, everybody. My name is Jimmy Green. I am thirty years old. I am from New York. I work at a lost and found office in New York. At the lost and found office, there are some different things. Let's have a look.

Look! There are five wallets on the table. When you open the wallets, you can find some money in two of them. There is a shelf behind the table. There are some mobile phones and cameras on the shelf. Maybe we have about one hundred cameras. Are these your cameras? Come here and have a look. You miss your camera. Maybe your camera misses you, too. After finding it, you can take it home.

We are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday. We don't close at noon. Welcome here! Maybe you can find what you have lost.

An animal house lets a bad parrot go away for he likes saying bad words. Now the parrot finds a friend in Amazon's voice app at his new home.

Rocco is a gray parrot. His owner finds that he can use the voice app to play his favorite music,tell jokes and even order food.

Thanks to the app, it helps stop the clever bird from doing shopping. If not, he may really buy some strawberries, ice cream and even a cup.

Mary has the parrot now. She says she takes in the parrot after the animal house lets him out because he often says bad words.

Eric, Rocco's first owner, teaches him bad words. Now he really loves his new home. He talks with the app about 40 times a day.

And he can make different sounds. He can make the sound of a phone, a car, a clock, a door bell, and even the sound of opening or closing the door.

Recently, many people think it's risky to use credit card numbers online. However, from time to time passwords and ID numbers on the Internet We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called "phishing"

Phishing sounds the same as the word "fishing", and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information, Like real fishermen, phishers use bait in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and websites to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phisher s may make as many as 5%of the people believe and give away their personal in formation. 

    ★     Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4. 6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Inter net users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5%of the people, phishers can make a lot of money. 

Amy, 18, from California, received an e mail. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The "thief" used Amy's Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money. 

How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the e-mail that be sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false statements in their emails so that people will reply right away Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is.
