Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. The question is ―What‘s your name?‖ Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

Have you ever wondered about people‘s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

People‘s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named Gorge Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means ―bright‖; Beatrice means ―one who gives happiness‖; Donald means ―world ruler‖ ; Leonard means ―as brave as a lion‖.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook.; someone who was called Longstreet probably on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people‘s occupations(职业). The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron(铁) or other metals. The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors. The Carpenter‘s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses or furniture.

Sometimes people were known for the color or their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father‘s name. English – speaking people add -s or – son. The Johnsons are descendants (后裔) of John. Irish and Scottish people add Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the O‘Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

A. her family lives near Helen Keller B. she loves Helen Keller

C. her parents admire Helen Keller D. she looks like Helen Keller

Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face？The reasons are simple and important.

Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image(影像) of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles(角度). While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.

Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. Seeing depth(深度) helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust(调整) to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width(宽度)—can be a 2—D image, as in a photograph.

Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting(猎杀) animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360—degree field of sight. However, they don‘t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.

With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects(昆虫) do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.
