Everyone has a family name. But do you know how they come about? A British writer called David tell us something about the family names in his new book.

He shows that in Britain some family names come from places like Warwick, a town in Warwickshire. “Gatsby” comes from the village（村莊）Gaddesby in Leicestershire. “Hill” is also a place.

Some family names come from people’s jobs. For example. “Butcher” means someone who sells（賣）meat. “Farmer” is a man who has a farm.

Interestingly, some family names come from nickname（s

昵稱）. For example, my family name

is Black. Because of the different colours, some are called Black, some are called White, Green or Brown. It is said that long ago, few people lived long. There were few people with white hair. When people saw someone with white hair, they would call them “white head”

So, when you see a British man with a strange family name, don’t be surprised（意外）. There

might be an interesting history.

1.According to（根據(jù)）the book, what does the butcher do??

A. Do farm work. B. Cook meals. C. Sell meat. D. Cut hair.

2.Which name comes from a place?

A. Hill. B. White. C. Butcher. D. Black.

3.How many family names are mentioned（提到）in this passage?

1.C 2.A 3.B 4.C 【解析】 本文介紹了姓氏的來歷。有的來自于地名，例如：Warwick；Gatsby；Hill；有的來自于職業(yè)，例如：Butcher和Farmer；有的來自于昵稱，例如：Black, White, Green , Brown。說明了不同姓氏背后可能會一個很有趣的故事。 1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)句子“Butcher” means some...
