Among most peoples in the world, children are given names. In the United States children have a family name, 

or a “last name,” and a first name. Most also have a middle name. However, not all people name children in the 

same way.   Some peoples believe that the spirits of those who have died are reborn in babies. To name a baby, the parents 

begin by saying the names of the child’s ancestors. The baby may sneeze, smile, or cry when a certain name is said. 

The parents think that means the ancestor is reborn in the baby. The baby is given that name.

Some peoples change their names. Navaho Indians change their names when they want new ones. The Navaho 

can decide to use the mother’s last name rather than the father’s. They may want an English name in place of a 

Native American one. Or they may change their English name into a Navaho name. The Navaho do not think it 

important to keep the same name. 

In some parts of Africa, a baby’s name is kept secret. No strangers are allowed to learn it. People there believe that the name is part of the child. They think that anyone who learns the name will have power over the child.

     The Australian crocodile is the largest crocodile in the world. It can grow up to seven meters long, and the biggest can weigh up to 1,000 kilogram. It has only two muscles to open its mouth but 40 to close it! What makes crocodiles so dangerous is that they attack extremely quickly, and they take their victims under the water to drown them. They usually attack in the water, but they can suddenly come out of a river and attack animals or people. And they can run on land as fast as 17 kilometers per hour.
     Every year in Australia there are crocodile attacks on humans. Two years ago a 24-year-old German tourist died when she went for a swim in a lake. Although there were signs warning people that there might be crocodiles, the woman and her friends decided to go for a midnight swim. The woman suddenly disappeared, and the next morning her body was found. Near it was a four-meter long crocodile. And only last month two Australian boys watched in horror as their friend was killed by a crocodile when they were washing their bikes in a river. They climbed a tree and stayed there for 22 hours while the crocodile waited below.
      But you can survive a crocodile attack. Last year Norman Pascoe, a 19-year-old, was saved from a crocodile when his aunt hit it on the nose. Norman’s aunt said: “I hit it and I shouted, ‘Help!’ The crocodile suddenly opened its mouth and my nephew escaped.”

      Plenty of people expressed frustration on social media on Saturday, as the prospect of losing an hour’s sleep loomed large. Abolishing Daylight Saving Time – or conversely, extending it year-round – would require a law passed by U.S. Congress. States are allowed to opt out of Daylight Saving Time, but all states are required to follow standard time from November to March. Legislators in some states have tried unsuccessfully to pass laws abandoning Daylight Saving Time, but Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that do not reset their clocks twice a year. For everyone else, Sunday morning will come just a little bit earlier than usual.
