Most English people have1names: a first name, a middle name and a family name. Their family name comes2. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents give me3of my other names .
People don't often use their4names. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr, Mrs or Miss5their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr Brown, but you should6say Mr John. They use Mr, Mrs or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.
Sometimes people ask me7my name. “When you 8born(出生),why did your parents call you Jim?” they ask.“ Why did they choose that name?” The answer is that they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather. In England ,people usually call me Jim9. That's 10it is shorter and easier than James.

“Could you7us how you8lift your right arm?”
Slowly the boy lifted his right arm before his nose.
“Poor boy,” said the lawyer. “And how high9you lift it before the accident?”
“Oh, very high,” said the boy proudly and the10went up right over his head.
Life in the year 3044 is very different from life in the 21st century. We still do many of the things you did, but we do them 1For example, we now have 2to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just3 a human being. It can walk and talk and can do almost 4we human beings do. My e-friend is a lot like me and we have5fun together. She helps 6 with my homework and we often go swimming. She is programmed to take care of me if anything 7, so I always feel safe when we are together. She can also send me8, just like e-mails, and I can download information from her memory. It's great9 an e-friend-I am never lonely and I always have someone to talk to.
I would like to tell you more about life in the year 3044, but I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room. Maybe10I will be able to travel back in time and visit you.
