As Mrs.Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.

But that was impossible,because there in the front row,slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs.Thompson noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children,that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen,making bold X’s and then putting a big “F”at the top of his papers.

However,when she reviewed his file,she got a surprise.

Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be around.”

His second grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates,but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”

His third grade teacher wrote,“His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school.He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.”

Now, Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy’s present,however,was clumsily wrapped in rough brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened Teddy’s gifts,a rhinestone bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laughed!“What a pretty bracelet! Mm,lovely perfume!Perfect on my wrist,”The children were silent.

After school,Teddy told Mrs. Thompson,“Today you smelled just like my mom used to...”His teacher cried all night and, from that day,she stopped teaching reading, writing,and arithmetic and began to teach children instead.

  When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed(稱(chēng)謂)as Mrs. Sohn.

  President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

  In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles(使困惑)English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

  Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects(影響)how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

  Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed(顛倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

(1) The story of Bill Clinton is used to ________.

[  ]

A.improve US-Korean relations

B.introduce the topic of the text

C.describe his visit to Korea

D.tell us how to address a person

(2) The word“gears”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

[  ]

A.a(chǎn)ction plans
B.naming customs
C.travel maps
D.thinking patterns

(3) When a woman marries in Korea, she ________.

[  ]

A.continues to use her family name

B.uses her husband’s given name

C.shares her husband’s family name

D.a(chǎn)dds her husband’s given name to hers

(4) To address a married woman properly, you’d better ________.

[  ]

A.use her middle name

B.use her husband’s first name

C.a(chǎn)sk her which name she likes

D.change the order of her names
