According to the author, na

21、mes can greatly affect peoples life. On the one hand, names with a positive sense work for people, giving added confidence, establishing favorable images and promoting social status. On the other hand, names result in prejudices against people both in their daily contacts with others and in classroo

22、m activities. So if your name doesnt suit you, you should change it as soon as possible.The essay can be roughly divided into 4 parts.The passage is made up of eight paragraphs, and, according to the pattern of “statement illustrationsuggestion” the author mainly employs in his writing; it can fall

23、into four parts. Part One (Paras. 1-2) Theses two paragraphs, as a whole, give examples of how names have an effect on peoples life. Paragraph 1 presents a situation and its problem a woman called Debbie felt that her name did not suit her and made her sound as if she were a cook. Paragraph 2 descri

24、bes how she solved the problem she changed her name when applying for a new job. The new name Lynne made her feel better and help lead to her career success.Part Two (Para. 3) The writer describes something in detail in the first two paragraphs and this leads to a general statement. The general stat

25、ement is that throughout history, names have not merely identified people but also described them. In this paragraph, the writer supports his general statement with both quotations from the Bible and definitions from Websters Dictionary. Name is not only used to indicate a person, but more important

26、ly, it is associated with the behavior and description of the person.Part Three (Paras. 4-7) These paragraphs with an argument to support the general statement in paragraph 3. Paragraph 4 presents the first argument that names have become attached to specific images. The writers own experience of ha

27、ving his articles published is an example in case. Paragraph 5 offers the second argument: those names with a positive sense can work for you and even encourage new acquaintances. A specific example is given about how a woman refused to meet a man just because of the mans name. paragraph 6 states th

28、e third argument that most of us have some prejudiced notions about names and become involved in name stereotyping. Here there are some more examples to show that we project name-based stereotypes on people. Paragraph 7 presents the fourth argument that peoples names are related to their achievement

29、 or behavior. Good names are associated with better classroom achievement and a greater degree of popularity among ones peer.Part Four (Para. 8) Since names are so important, the writer recommends that you change name if you feel that it no longer seems to suit you.Exemplification (例證法) Starting an

30、argumentation with an example is a very effective and vivid way to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage:Typical example: For her first twenty-four years, shed been known as Debbiea name that didnt suit her good looks and elegant manner. Quotation (引言法) The quotation from the Bible: “As

31、 his name is, so is he.”The definitions taken from the Websters dictionary: “a word or words expressing some quality considered characteristic or descriptive of a person or a thing, often expressing approval or disapproval”. Note well “approval or disapproval”. Exemplification (例證法) A series of exam

32、ples are cited from the authors and others life experiences to prove “As his name is, so is he”. Statement I: Names become attached to specific images (Para. 4) Exemplification: What bothers the author is his name Joe, which makes him more of baseball player than an art critic. (Para. 4) Statement I

33、I: Names with a positive sense can work for you and even encourage new acquaintances.

34、gret later. (Para. 5) Statement III: Often, we project name-based stereotypes on people. (Para. 6) girls with names such as Linda, Diane, Barbara, and Cindy performed better on graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names. (Para. 7)A companion study showed girls popularit

35、y with their peers was also related to the popularity of their names. (Para. 7) Comparison & Contrast (對(duì)比法) Comparison & Contrast, as a typical method of developing a paragraph, is adopted in this passage so as to illustrate the positive and negative effects of names on people. Statement I:

36、Apparently, such prejudices can affect classroom achievement as well (Para. 7)Comparison & Contrast: In a study, teachers gave consistently lower grades on essays apparently written by boys named Elmer and Hubert than they awarded to the same papers when the writers names were given as Michael a

37、nd David. (Para. 7) Statement II: However, teacher prejudice isnt the only source of classroom difference. (Para. 7) Comparison & Contrast: Dr. Thomas V.

38、r on objectively graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names. (Para. 7) Dialectic (辯證法) From parents point of view: 1. They meant your name to last a lifetime. 2. They had their hopes and dreams when they chose your name. From your point of view: 1. Theyd hardly met you

39、when they picked it. 2. The hopes and dreams they valued may not match yours. Suggestion: If your name no longer seems to fit you, dont despair; you arent stuck with the label.
