Do you remember how you get your English name? Your English teacher gave it to you or you looked up the d  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   to get it? Have you ever thought w  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}    your English name will bring you good luck or bad luck?

A new study found a name that others felt difficult to pronounce might i {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a person's future. The study shows that the e {#blank#}4{#/blank#} your name is to pronounce, the more trustworthy（值得信赖的）people will think you are. The research also shows that people with more familiar（熟悉的）names are probably to hold higher positions in a s {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . In other words, a weird（古怪的）name may prevent someone from going to be a l{#blank#}6{#/blank#} or a boss. You may think about your name again. If your first name sounds strange and you can't c {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it, you can do as the following s {#blank#}8{#/blank#} . Try using a middle name if it's not hard to pronounce. If you don't have a middle name, you can use a nickname（绰号）. And when you get to the interviews, you can e {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that you often use a nickname because people find your r {#blank#}10{#/blank#} name difficult to pronounce.

Your name may mean more than you think.

Dear Lingling,

    I'm happy to get your {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（邮件）. This is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（照片） of my new school. It's a nice school. There are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（绿色的） trees everywhere.

    Mr Brown's horse was lost at night. All of his friends were very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to hear that and came to see him together. After {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（听） his story, one of them said, “Why didn't you close the door of the stable(马厩) last night?” “You aren't a deaf man”, the second said. “Didn't you {#blank#}3{#/blank#}anything at that moment? The thief(小偷) must {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(赶走) the horse away out of the gate, and couldn't carry it on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} back.” “I agree with you,” said the third man. “How {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(careful) you are! Every evening before I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to bed, I lock my stable first and put the key in my box. Why didn't you do so?”The more they said, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excited they became. At last Mr Brown couldn't stand any more and said {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(angry), “None of you would help me look for my horse or catch the thief. Do you think that it's all my fault(错误）?{#blank#}10{#/blank#} don't you blame(责备) the thief?”
