18、nding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Americans have a great love for informality and nowhere is this better expressed than in their love for nicknames(昵称、绰号 ). Upon greeting strangers for the first time they will quickly introduce themsel
19、ves by their nickname. These are shortened forms of their given name at birth and reflect the casual relationships which exist among friends and coworkers. Family names are hardly ever used in daily situations and the use of ones fathers last name is saved only for rare and formal occasions. In many
20、 traditional cultures the use of the family name is seen as a sign of respect. For Americans, however, its the nickname which creates an immediate intimacy between two people upon which to build a relationship.

24、 obscure to most people including many New Yorkers. Not every nickname, however, is positive and some can be rather rude and insulting. If someone should demonstrate a certain negative characteristic, a label will soon be attached to describe that person in an unpleasant way. Likewise a persons phys
25、ical traits which are very dominant may lead to nicknames but not necessarily to ones liking or choice. A nickname, therefore, is a way of identifying or describing someone or something for better or worse. 21 Why do Americans prefer to use nicknames when addressing one another? （ A） Nicknames are e
26、asy to remember. （ B） Americans are a friendly people. （ C） Nicknames help build a closer relationship. （ D） Nicknames are convenient to use in daily life. 22 Many traditional societies see the use of ones family name as a sign of_. （ A） respect （ B） distance （ C） importance （ D） gratitude 23 An Ame
