Dear Sir,
I am writing about your January bill, which I am returning with this letter. I am not going to pay this bill. Last month I bought a table and four chairs for $65.50. They were sent to me on December 18. That night one leg of the table broke while my wife was putting our dinner on it. It fell on one of the chair, and that broke, too. Our $ 2.50 steak(牛排) landed on the floor, and the dog ate it.
I spoke to the salesmen who had sold me the table and the chairs. He told me to write you a letter. I wrote you on December 20, saying that I was not going to pay for the furniture. On December 21 some men came and took it back to the store.
Please do something about your records. I do not want to receive another bill for the furniture which I returned.
Yours truly

Kate: Has your sister’s baby arrived yet?
John: Yes, I’ve been an uncle since yesterday noon.
Kate: Congratulations! Is it a boy or a girl?
John: An eight-pound boy. They named him Francis. That’s spelled with an “i” before the “s”, you know.
Kate: That’s right. Frances with an “e” is a girl’s name. But they are both pronounced the same. Why did they name your nephew Francis?
John: I don’t know. They considered a lot of other names, like Richard, Edward, Philip, David, and several others.
Kate: What if the baby had been a girl? Didn’t they have any girl’s names in mind?
John: They couldn’t agree on any. Whenever he suggested a girl’s name, she said, “I hate that name!” Some people have very strong feelings about names.
Kate: I think most people do. Sometimes I decided not to like someone I haven’t even met, just because I don’t like his name.
John: That reminds me of something I read a few days ago. Somebody had found out that school children with certain names get low marks in school just because of their names.
Kate: Their family names?
John: No, their first names. That’s what the article said.
1. The first sentence “Has your sister’s baby arrived yet?” means _______.

4. Reading the passage, we can know _______.

【答案与解析】本文是一篇对话，是 John 和 Kate 关于人的名字的谈论。
