Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1 A name is more than just a word. It carries the weight of a persons whole identity. A name can represent a persons ethnicity (种族身份) and culture, or show respect for their ancestral roots. A self-given name may represent a persons beliefs or chosen identity.Everyone has the right to have their name pronounced correctly.

It doesnt take a lot to simply repeat the name back. Spell it out. Write it down. Do whatever you have to do to get the name right. Making the effort to correctly pronounce someones name is an essential part of cultural competency (文化素养). Without this, we canno
