What do we often do with the things we love?
One of the first questions anybody asks about a newborn is, "What is the baby’s name?" Faced with this tiny pink newborn, we want to put a name to it; as if by doing so, we welcome it to this world of individuals. We always name the things we love; a small child will give names to even his tiniest toys, or his well-chewed blanket. And the difference between "Blankie" and the blanket is an entire personality.
There are many ways to choose a name for a baby. One of the most common is to use an old family name. If the family tie is strong enough, parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning. If all the men for five generations have been named Brendan, who are you to complain that the name means "smelly hair?"
But inspiration need not be limited to the family tree. Pick an attribute; pick the name of the Italian city where the baby was born. Name the baby after your favorite poet, or an interesting saint.
It can be difficult to find the perfect name for your baby, but the beauty of the process is this: by the time the baby is a few months old, his personality erases all other associations the name may hold. The evil snake, or the much loved poet, fades away; and the name becomes quite simply the name of your child; and you will have made the right choice.
选项
A、show the beauty of its own.
B、develop more associations.
C、lose the original meaning.
D、help form the baby’s personality.
答案
C
解析
本题考查推理判断的能力。这道问题中的关键词应该是Several months after…,当我们听到有关这一句话的内容时,我们就要集中精力:“By the time the baby is a few months old,his personality erases all other associations the name may hold.The evil snake,or the much loved poet,fades away”。如果听懂fades away在文中的意思“逐渐消失”,那么我们就能得到这道题的正确答案C 了。
