Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's name. In some cases, the time of a child's birth influences how the child's name is determined.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their child's name may be based on names of their relatives or ancestors. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents' names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother's parents' names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child's name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is chosen to influence the child's character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's name. In Ghana's Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua mean "wanderer" or "explorer." Children with these names are seen as travelers. No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether the name is chosen according to preference or dictatedby tradition, it reflects something about a child's culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.
Question 39: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Choosing traditional names
B. Choosing names in Italian culture
C. How Asian people name their children
D. How names reflect a person's culture
Question 40: In which culture are children most likely named after their grandparents?
A. Japanese B. Mexican C. Italian D. Akan
Question 41: In China, what should names relate to?
A. child's birth element B. A child's personality
C. A child's ancestors D. A child's birth date
Question 42: Which is true in Akan culture if a twin brother and sister are born on a Friday?
A. They will have to travel to a different city.
B. They will have different names.
C. They will both be named Afua.
D. They will both be named Kofi.
