People don't use their middle names very muck So "John Henry Brown" is usually called “John Brown". People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.
Sometimes people ask me about my name. “When you were born, why did your parents call you Jim?" they ask, “Why did they choose that name?" The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.
Most English people have three names.

Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead.

Passage Three
Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.
People don't use their middle names very much, So "John Henry Brown" is usually called "John Brown". People never use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.
Sometimes people ask me about nay name. "When were you born, why did your parents call you Jim?" they ask. "Why did they choose that name?" The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of nay grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.

M: Yes, I have. What a good memory you have! I was here for the Arts Festival two years ago.
W: And what will you be doing on this visit?
M: Oh, I came here primarily for a holiday and to see some friends. But I will also be giving some private cello lessons as well.
W: I believe that your cello is rather special. Is that true?
M: Oh, yes. It was made for my uncle by a very expert German cello maker called Schuster. When I began cello lessons at the age of eight, he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello, he would give it to me.
W:So when a child begins to play the cello, he or she starts on a smaller instrument?
M: Of course, or he would be very uncomfortable. Many children begin with a half-sized cello, but as I was big for my age, I began with a two-thirds-sized cello.
W. Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you?
M: Yes, very definitely.
W: But, isn't it difficult taking a cello around with you?
M: Not really. I just reserve two scats when I'm traveling anywhere, one for me and one for my cello. It's such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.
Which is NOT the man's purpose of this visit?
A.To visit friends.
B.To vacation.

"Frum, I say. "No, your first name." "What do you need my first name for?" To write on the tag, so all the children and the staff will know what to call you. "In that case, write ' Mr. Frum.'"
At which I am shot a look as if I had asked to be called to Duke of Plaza Toro.
In encouraging five-year-olds to address grownups by their first names, PlaySpace is only slightly ahead of the times. As a journalist, I faithfully report that the custom of addressing strangers formally is as dead as the practice of leaving a visiting card. There's hardly a secretary left who does not reply, when I give a message fro her boss, "I'll tell him you called, David." Or a public relations agent, whether in Bangor or Bangkok, who does not begin his telephonic spiel (长篇大论) with a cheerful "Hello, David !"
You don't have to be a journalist to collect amazing first-name stories. Place a collect call, and the operator first-names you. The teenager behind the counter at a fast food restaurant asks a 70-year-old customer for his first name before taking his order.
Habitual first-names claim they are motivated by nothing worse than uncontrollably high-spirited friendliness. I don't believe it. If I asked the fast-food order-takers to lend me $ 50, their friendliness would vanish in a whoosh. The PR man drops all his cheerfulness the moment he hears I won't go along with his story idea. No, it's not friendliness that drives first-namers; it's aggression. The PR agents who call me David uninvited would never, if they could somehow get him on the phone, address press baron Rupert Murdoch that way. The woman at the bank who called me David would never first-name the bank's chairman. Like the mock-cheery staff at PlaySpace, they are engaged in a smile-faced act of belittlement, an assertion of power disguised as good cheer.
"PR" in paragraph 6 stands for ______.
A.personal request
B.personal respect
C.public relations
