Do you have an English name? I have noticed (注意到) one thing in China: lots of people have unmon(不常见) English names.

One of my Chinese friends calls herself Big Bird, like the character(角色) from the children’s TV show Sesame Street(《芝麻街》). Another one of my friends is an English teacher. She had students

with the names like Tomato and Potato. There were also two girls named Echo. Before I came to China, I had never met anyone with these names.

People choose these strange names for different reasons. Sometimes they copy the names from someone famous. Other times, they want names that have the same meaning as their Chinese name.

But having an unmon English name isn’t a big deal, is it? It can be fun sometimes. I once heard about a girl named Shmily. It stands for “see how much I love you”. It is my favorite strange English name.

66. _________ is the name of a character in Sesame Street..

A. Tomato B. Potato C. Echo D. Big Bird 67. The writer thinks many Chinese people __________.

A. don’t have English names B. have strange English names C. have usual English names D. have fantastic English names 68. Before the writer es to China, she ________ called Echo. A. knows two girls

B. knows a student

D. knows an English teacher

C. doesn’t know anyone

69. Sometimes, people have strange names because __________. A. they are famous

B. they want to be famous

When you are doing homework, sometimes your eyes may suddenly twitch (抽动). You may hear some superstitions (迷信) about this. For example, if your right eye jumps, you will hear good news. If your left eye jumps, you will hear bad news.

But science can tell you that it has nothing to do with these superstitions. It is just a movement of your muscles (肌肉). There are a few reasons why this happens.

According to ZME Science, when you feel stressed or tired, your eyes will twitch. This tells you that you need to get more rest.

Looking at a TV or puter screen for a long time can also make your eye twitch. Looking at screens can make your eye dry (干涩的). So it twitches to make itself wet.

Lacking(缺乏) some minerals (矿物质) in your diet(饮食) is another reason. Eating food such as almonds (杏仁) or spinach (菠菜) can be helpful.

76. According to the article(根据这篇文章), if your eyes twitch, it means ________.
