English weather,

Everybody talks about the weather in England and this is not surprising. It changes from minute to minute, so it's always interesting. Someone once wisely remarked (评论) that other countries have a climate, but England just has weather！Gretel was amused by all this talk at first, but she has got used to it now.

Last week Gretel really understood why everyone is so concerned (关注) about the weather: you can never be certain what's going to happen. Though it was spring, there was a very heavy snowfall. As usual, no one expected it. The pipes in many houses were frozen; trains failed to run; cars went shrunk; there were many accidents on the roads; lots of people slipped on the icy pavements and got hurt; the weather forecast was very bad. Everyone complained gloomily (沮丧地) , “What awful weather we're having！Haven't seen anything like it！” and so on. And then, suddenly, the sun came out, the snow melted and it was spring again.

“Typical (典型的)！Just typical！” Gretel remarked.

“From the way you talk about the weather, Gretel,” Mr Clark said, “anyone would think you were English.”

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. 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(普通的), or that have a special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they 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. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.

In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married（结婚）. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations(情况) and their husband’s in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husband’s.
