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 childs name. And in some cases, the time of a
childs birth influences how the childs name is determined.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents choice for their childs name may be
based on names of relatives or ancestors within their particular family. For example, in Italy, children are
traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the fathers parents names first. If they have
more children, then they will use the mothers 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 them from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a childs grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the childs name. In

girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or 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 childs name. And in some cases, the time of a
childs birth influences how the childs name is determined.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents choice for their childs name may be
based on names of relatives or ancestors within their particular family. For example, in Italy, children are
traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the fathers parents names first. If they have
more children, then they will use the mothers 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 them from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a childs grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the childs name. In
contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the childs name is chosen to influence the childs
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 childs name. In Ghanas
Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the childs 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 are names meaning wanderer or explorer. Children with these names are seen as travelers.
No matter where the name comes from, a childs name is the first gift in life. Whether it is chosen according to
preference or dictated by tradition, the name reflects something about a childs culture. For that reason, all names
should be treasured and respected.
Question 34: What is the main idea of this reading?
A. How names reflect a persons culture B. How Asian people name their children
C. Choosing traditional names D. Choosing names in Italian culture
Question 35: In which culture are children most likely named after their grandparents?
A. Japanese B. Mexican C. Italian D. Akan
Question 36: The word them in paragraph 2 line 5 refers to .
A. Italian children B. European children C. relatives D. European people
Question 37: Why do European people name their children after relatives who have died?
A. to bring luck to their children
B. to bring happiness to their children
C. to protect their children from the Angle of Death
D. to make their children intelligent
Question 38: In China, which of the following elements is NOT based on when naming a child ?
A. wood B. earth C. mental D. ancestors name
Question 39: What can be inferred from paragraph 4 about a twin brother and sister who are born on Friday?
A. They will have different names. B. They will have to travel to a different city.
C. They will both be named Afua. D. They will both be named Kofi.
Question 40: The word dictated in paragraph 5 line 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. determined B. asked C. introduced D. told
