When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, be repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Canton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed （称谓）as Mrs. Sohn.
President Canton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans. Some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de （of）. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in may Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed （颠倒）,Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it contently. 49．The story of Bill Clinton is used to .

Teens don’t understand the big fess （小题大做）.As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends, so what?
But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated（孤寂）,less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a teen’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,” said shetty Turklt.
Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he’s worried about the “opportunity costs”（机会成本） of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation.“Chatting online may be better than watching television, but it’s worse than hanging out with real friends,” he said.
Today’s teens, however, don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives, “School is busy and full of pressures. There’s almost no time to just hang out.” said Parker Rice, 17. “Talking online is just catch up time.”
Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don’t want to do so. But they insist there’s no harm.
53．The researchers argue that . A．teens may develop a different sense of values B．nothing is wrong with teens’ chatting online C．teens can manage their social connections

Lest year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses, sailors and in other difficult but low paid jobs. Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbors.
Many of these wage earners return in the end. In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines’ case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005, Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labor exporting（劳务输出）countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars As for those Asian countries that import （输入）labor, as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.
On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations（ASEAN）signed an agreement to help migrant（流动的）workers-with the realization that the flow of labor between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers. So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos export labor, Singapore and Brunci import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sriracaki of the UN’s International Labor Organization points out that, in the next ten years, the total labor force of the worker exporting countries should grow by about a third. It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs. Most Thais said their government should admit （准入） no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore, just over ball of people are against admitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates（犯罪率）. 57．It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that . A．the country is Asia’s main source of migrant workers B．labor exports lend to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of lend to helps solve its social problems D．the country Both exports and imports labor force
