Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary(平常的), or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations and their husband’s in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husband’s.

Every student can manage time to get good grades at school. However, how can you manage your time more efficiently(有效地) to study well? Well, you can arrange for time each day to read over notes. You needn’t study each of your subjects every day, but studying something every day will help you improve your grades. Take notes as you study, so you can use those notes to shorten your study time later. Even though studying is important, it doesn’t need to control your time.
After-school activities are an important part of school life for many students. The journey toward good grades doesn’t mean you have to give up these activities. Instead, you need to find your personal balance between study time and extra activities. For example, if you play on the baseball team and work on the school paper, you may find that two activities are too much, and that you don’t have enough time to study and take part in these activities. If this is the case, you need to prioritize(区分优先次序) and choose just one activity. Therefore, you’ll have time to study.
As you get closer to graduation, it becomes easier to think that class attendance isn’t important, especially later in college. Other activities, such as hanging out with friends and even working, can feel more important. However, class time is the time when you can ask questions and learn more about the material. Attending your classes regularly makes you get more information and helps you get better grades.
Any spare time you have during the day can be used for studying. For example, if you take a bus, use that time to read over your notes, or read your text. Any time in which you would just sit and wait is a good time to work on school work, so you can improve your grades. However, you need to learn to balance school work and relaxation time, so you don’t burn out.
______1____ of managing time to get good grades

Supporting details

◆??? It is necessary for you to study something every day.
