[01:27.51]Part III Summary and Discussion 3.3 Discussion
[01:39.32]1.Listen carefully to the following text-related conversation
[01:46.21]and find answers to the questions printed after it.
[01:51.91]X:So!Now that we know it's going to be a boy,we have to pick a name.
[01:58.88]What do you think we should call him?
[02:02.96]B:I'd say...er,what do you think,dear?
[02:08.05]X:Well,you know your father will expect us to name him Benjamin,
[02:13.85]after him.B:Yeah--and you know your father will feel hurt
[02:20.54]if we name him after my father.
[02:24.25]X:Right,so maybe we should compromise and name him after both our fathers.
[02:32.45]Hm,but "Ming Benjamin"--that doesn't sound very good!
[02:39.56]B:And"Ben Ming" sounds even worse!
[02:45.46]I think we're going to have to forget about family traditions
[02:51.15]and give our son his own unique,individual name.
[02:56.64]X:I think so,too. What's your suggestion?
[03:01.21]B:Well,I've always liked the name Abraham.
[03:06.20]X:Abraham!Ugh,no way!
[03:10.69]How can anyone look at a sweet helpless innocent little baby
[03:16.49]and call him Abraham!
[03:20.91]B:Well,he won't be a baby forever.X:Forget it!
[03:26.21]B:But just think,when he grows up and becomes a great world leader--
[03:33.29]X:I said forget it! No way!No son of mine is going to be called Abe!!
[03:40.97]B:Well,what's your proposal,then?
[03:45.18]X:(dreamily)Brando.B:What?X:Brando!Brando Davis.B:Are you joking?
[03:54.08]You want our son to go though life being called Brando?!
[03:59.46]All the other kids will make fun of him!
