Though your parents probably meant your name to last
a lifetime, remember that the hopes and dreams they cherished when they chose it
may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to {{U}} {{U}}

42 {{/U}} {{/U}}with the label. Screen stars{{U}} {{U}} 43
{{/U}} {{/U}}tailor their names, and with some determination, you can,
too. Legal rules are more {{U}} {{U}} 44
{{/U}} {{/U}}in this matter than you might expect. How many newlyweds,
{{U}} {{U}} 45 {{/U}} {{/U}}, are aware that no law requires a
woman to {{U}} {{U}} 46 {{/U}} {{/U}}her husband's name? Not
only that, but in most states parents can give their children any name they
wish, {{U}} {{U}} 47 {{/U}} {{/U}}it's not that of either
parent. Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, for example, named their son Tony
Garrity. If you do wish to {{U}} {{U}} 48
{{/U}} {{/U}}a new name, you don't need an attorney to make the switch
official. {{U}} {{U}} 49 {{/U}} {{/U}}common law, all that's
necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, {{U}}
{{U}} 50 {{/U}} {{/U}}, that you must use it everywhere-even
{{U}} {{U}} 51 {{/U}} {{/U}}your mother-for it to become your
{{U}} {{U}} 52 {{/U}} {{/U}}name. You must also change all your
identification papers and {{U}} {{U}} 53 {{/U}} {{/U}}. Your
Social Security number will remain the same; just fill {{U}} {{U}}

{{U}} 57 {{/U}} {{/U}}, but you'll probably encounter official
resistance, too. Be assured that no law should {{U}} {{U}} 58
{{/U}} {{/U}}you from using whatever name you've established for any
transaction, {{U}} {{U}} 59 {{/U}} {{/U}}it's not for purposes
of fraud, unfair competition, or to otherwise {{U}} {{U}} 60

【答案解析】语义逻辑题，考查词义辨析。tailor their names指“量身定做名字”，电视明星们常常会这样做，因此A项“经常地”为正确选项。
文章在这里没有涉及法律方面的内容，也没有谈到明星在换名字时会表现出犹豫，B、C两项均可排除；此处作者陈述了客观现象，D项“大胆地，勇敢地”带有主观判断，故不选。
【答案解析】考查关联词。根据第二段末句所举例子可知，父母可以给孩子取任何姓名，“即使”父母任何一方都不用这个姓，有让步的意思，因此答案选A项。
[解题技巧]在解答完型填空时，弄明白上下文之间的逻辑关系非常重要。如在本题中，弄明白Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden例子是要说明什么问题，就是解答题目的关键。
