STEREOTYPES OF NAMES

Consciously or unconsciously, we all have private pictures of the people who         [answer, serve, reply, satisfy] to certain names. Jackie could be sophisticated and beautiful, like Jackie Kennedy, or fat and funny, like Jackie Gleason. These pictures come from personal experience as well as from the             [likeness, views, reflections, images] we absorb from the mass media and thus may conflict in interesting ways.

Over the years researchers have been fascinated by the «real»            [meanings, values, intentions, ideas] of names and their          [results, effects, outcomes, causes] on their bearers. Studies indicate that people actually tend to agree on each name's characteristics.

If people think of Mallory as cute and likable, does that influence a girl named Mallory to become cute and likable? Experts agree that names don't           [protect, certify, guarantee, promise] instant success or condemn people to certain failure, but they do         [effect, affect, relate, concern] self-images, influence relationships with others, and help (or hinder) success in work and school.

Researcher S. Gray Garwood            [researched, learned, examined, conducted] a study of sixth graders in New Orleans. He found that students given names that were popular with teachers             [appreciated, earned, scored, made] higher in skills tests, were better adjusted and more consistent in their self-perceptions, were more realistic in their              [respect, calculations, evaluations, admiration] of themselves, and more frequently expected to attain their goals—even though their goals were more            [ambitious, aggressive, selfish, silly] than ones set by their peers.

Read the text below. For questions (1—5) choose the correct answer (А, В, C, or D).

John James Audubon, nineteenth-century artist and naturalist, is known as one of the foremost authorities on North American birds. Born in Les Cayes, Haiti, in 1785, Audubon was raised in France and studied art under French artist Jacques-Louis David. After settling on his father's Pennsylvania estate at the age of eighteen, he first began to study and paint birds.

In his young adulthood, Audubon undertook numerous enterprises, generally without a tremendous amount of success; at various times during his life he was involved in a mercantile business; a lumber and grist mill, a taxidermy business, and a school. His general mode of operating a business was to leave it either unattended or in the hands of a partner and take off on excursions through the wilds to paint the natural life that he saw. His business career came to end in 1819 when he was jailed for debt and forced to file for bankruptcy.

It was at that time that Audubon began seriously to pursue the dream of publishing a collection of his paintings of birds. For the next six years he painted birds in their natural habitats while his wife worked as a teacher to support the family. His Birds of America, which included engravings of 435 of his colorful and lifelike water colors, was published in parts during the period from 1826 to 1838 in England. After the success of the English editions, American editions of his work were published in 1839, and his fame and fortune were ensured.
