• Lead-in
• Sometimes we judge people by their mirages, such
  as appearances, words, names, etc. , so many
  people make use of mirages to achieve their
  goals. For example, a clean-cut pickpocket can
  easily dust peoples eyes tricky advertisers
  gain customers confidence by their inflated
  language some Hollywood stars change their real
  names into winning names, which help them
  become famous. Can you give some other examples
  of peoples judging others by their names or of
  the ways names can make a difference?

  characteristics of imaginative, creative,
  inconsistent, insecure, gullible,talkative and is
  an Italian form of Neil,or a French name meaning
  hero. It is sometimes associated with the
  Latin niger, meaning black.

Reading for the Main Ideas in Paragraphs
42
Reading Skills
INTRODUCTION
As was introduced in Unit 1, finding the main
idea of a paragraph is necessary for
understanding a piece of writing. The main idea
sentence of a paragraph is commonly known as a
topic sentence or topic statement. The topic
sentence most frequently appears at the beginning
of a paragraph, as we can see in the following
example taken from Reading Passage A
43
Of course, names with a positive sense can
work for you, even encourage new acquaintances. A
recent survey showed that American men thought
Susan to be the most attractive female name,
while women believed Richard and David were the
most attractive for men. One woman I know turned
down a blind date with a man named Harry because
he sounded dull . Several evenings later, she
came up to me at a party, pressing for an
introduction to a very impressive man theyd
been exchanging glances all evening. Oh, I
said. You mean Harry. She was ill at ease.
(Para. 5, Reading Passage A, Unit 6)
Main idea Names with a positive sense can work
for you.
44
But the topic sentence may also appear in other
places in the middle or at the end of a
paragraph. Look at two more examples taken from
Reading Passage A
45
1. Naturally, the name change didnt cause
Debbie/Lynnes professional achievementbut it
surely helped if only by adding a bit of
self-confidence to her talents. Social scientists
say that what youre called can affect your life.
Throughout history, names have not merely
identified people but also described them. As
his name is, so is he says the Bible, and
Websters Dictionary includes the following
definition of name a word or words expressing
some quality considered characteristic or
descriptive of a person or a thing, often
expressing approval or disapproval. Note well
approval or disapproval. For better or worse,
qualities such as friendliness or reserve,
plainness or charm may be suggested by your name
and conveyed to other people before they even
meet you. (Para. 3, Reading Passage A, Unit 6)

and conveyed to other people before they even
meet you. (Para. 3, Reading Passage A, Unit 6)
The main idea sentence appears in the middle of
this paragraph.
46
2. Though your parents probably meant your name
to last a lifetime, remember that when they
picked it theyd hardly met you, and the hopes
and dreams they valued when they chose it may not
match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit
you, dont despair you arent stuck with the
label. Movie stars regularly change their names,
and with some determination, you can, too. (Para.
8, Reading Passage A, Unit 6)
2. Though your parents probably meant your name

you, dont despair you arent stuck with the
label. Movie stars regularly change their names,
and with some determination, you can, too. (Para.
8, Reading Passage A, Unit 6)
The main idea sentence appears at the end of this
paragraph.
47
Sometimes the main idea of a paragraph is
not directly stated by any one sentence in the
paragraph it is only implied. In these cases you
have to write a sentence to sum up or state the
main idea of a paragraph.
48

• (1) Area codes are numerical codes assigned by
  the telephone company to tell from which part of
  the country you are calling. (2) Area codes were
  first introduced in 1947. (3) At that time, there
  were 86 area codes. (4) Today there are over
  150. (5) California, the most populous state in
  the country, has the most area codes. (6) An area
  code can serve almost 800 three-digit prefixes.
  (7) Each prefix has almost 10,000 possible
  telephone numbers.

49

• Explanation
• Every sentence in this paragraph is talking about
  "area codes," with each looking at a different
  aspect of area codes. The sentences are connected
  only by the fact that each deals with area codes.
  Thus, the implied main idea must reflect this
  fact. It might read "There are various
  interesting facts about area codes."
