I started playing in the 2nd grade. My brother, who was in the 7th grade, would always _16_ me. He would _17_ the basket on purpose(故意) so I wouldn’t lose against him. One day, though, another boy shouted at my brother: ― Go away! You stink!‖ My brother _ 18 _ to stop playing basketball with me. I felt so _19_ that I wanted to stop playing.

On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.

People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the ―new name‖ for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when t hey were born.

Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming.
