Section A As His Name Is, So Is He!Section B Judge by Appearances Section C The Pain in Wearing High Heels

Section A

As His Name Is, So Is He!

1. Did Debbie like her former name? Why? Or why not?

No, she didn’t like her former name Debbie, because it didn’t suit her good looks and elegant manner, and it made her think she should be a cook.

Comprehension of the Text Ex. II. Answer the following questions.

3.What did the writer think of Debbie’s name change? The writer thinks that the name change didn’t cause Debbie’s professional achievement, but it surely helped by adding a bit self-confidence to her talents.

2. According to Debbie, what difference did it make when she substituted her middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie?She felt more comfortable with herself and other people started to take her more seriously.


4. According to the writer, why did one prominent magazine consistently refuse to print “Joe” in his by-line?

The writer thought that, to other people, his name, Joe, made him more qualified to be a baseball player than an art critic. He also suspected that if he were a more refined Arthur or Adrian, the name would have appeared complete.


5. In Paragraph 5, why was the woman ill at ease?

The woman was ill at ease because the man to whom she wanted the writer to introduce her was the same person with whom she once turned down a blind date because of his name.


6.Why did the writer say that we were all guilty of name stereotyping to some extent?

We often project name-based stereotypes on people. For example, one of the writer’s women friends confessed that while taking charge of a nursery-school’s group of four-year-olds, she had their personalities confused because of their names.


7.How can name-based prejudices affect classroom achievement?

8.According to the writer, what can you do if your name doesn’t seem to fit you?

One study showed that teachers gave consistently lower grades on essays supposed to have been written by boys with less appealing names than they awarded to the same papers when the writers were given better-sounding names.

With some determination, you can change your name.
