32、 “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road.
33、 The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other
34、 occupational names are: Carter a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.

40、s D Lets read the descriptions of the following scenes of shopping. A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner tha
41、t night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husbands niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And dont forget soap for the bath
42、room.And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking，men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.Now scientific research supports this th
43、eory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all alongmen and women think differently.Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of th
44、e brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pe
45、nnsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult, they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “unders
46、tanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.Dr. Verma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.32. By describing the scene of shopping, the writer wants to _ .A.criticize womens wasted living expenses B. illustrate men and womens different brainsC.think highly of women
