Olivia and Jack are the most popular names in Britain for babies born in 2008, according to a survey made by the website Bounty. Jack has been top for 14 years since it took over from Thomas.
Grace — made famous by the Hollywood star Grace Kelly — slipped back into third place behind Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church’s daughter.
Summer climbed 28 places from 44th to 16th. Ava — the name of singer Myleene Klass’s daughter — also leapt 15 places to 19th.
The troubles of the singer Amy Winehouse perhaps had an effect on the popularity of the name. It dropped three places to 23rd. Rebecca is also on the wane(變弱), ranking 48th. So is Courtney, which ranked 88th.

An employee of Bounty said, “Baby names have witnessed the biggest changes over the last decade as parents are increasingly influenced by celebrities. The Bounty baby name poll also shows parents are continuing to be creative and inspirational about the names they choose for their children. Some parents want a name that’s totally unique, and names such as Zebedee, Selim and Zenon are now emerging and growing in popularity. Others are simply breaking with convention and becoming bolder in their choice of names.”
“While politicians’ names may be growing in popularity in America, British politicians don’t influence our choice of names in the UK. Traditional royal names continue to be supreme(最高的) in the boys’ top 100,” The employee said.

When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently (屢次地) asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike (同樣的), and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies (錯綜復雜的事物) of reading letters to form words.
If a three-year-old child wants to read (or even a two-year-old child for that matter), the child has the right (權利) to be given every encouragement (鼓勵). The fact that he might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers (非讀者) at child school is the teacher’s affair (事情). It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced (高級的) reading material.
Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic (having difficulty in reading 誦讀困難的).
Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters (兒童) aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition (識別) of letters by labeling (標識) various items in the their rooms. For instance (比如), tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat (整齊的), big letters.
Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable (足以勝任的) of doing so, such an attraction (吸引) should not be ignored (對……不予理會). But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag (變弱).
1 This passage is mainly about ____ .
A. what qualities people teaching children reading should have
