way," says Kitty. "I think everybody should have a style according to his or her personality."

some girls are just mean (小气的), " she answers.

阅读理解。     Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can
be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember.

people often change their names because they want the names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound.

name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved  to  the United States.

     Here is a survey about people"s preference (偏爱) to shop. Some people were asked where they
preferred to shop.
     Eric is a doctor. He lives in a nice neighborhood with many small shops and restaurants. He likes the
friendly shop owners. He doesn"t have a car, so shopping near his home is very convenient (便利的).
However, he says there are two main problems. First, things from the small shops cost more money.
Second, he can"t find the books he wants to read in the small bookstore. He has to go to the big
bookstores downtown.
     Cathy is a mother of three children. She and her husband both work as teachers. They like to shop in
big supermarkets because they"re clean and safe and prices are good there. Supermarkets have many
more kinds and sizes of products than small shops. Cathy says supermarkets also have disadvantages.
For example, they"re always crowded during holidays, and they"re so big that children can easily get lost
in them.
     Tony is a student who prefers to shop on the Internet. He thinks the main advantage is that he can
shop anytime he likes, even late at night. And he can buy fascinating things from all over the world. The
biggest worry is security (安全保障) for the Internet shop. Last year, his credit card number was

     Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark
is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and
transportation.

engine will give out the harmful gas when it warms up before it can work well.

governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They
are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.
