          Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
    In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
    For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
    Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver. 　　
         In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
    called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
    name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
    others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (宝贵的) stone. 　　
         Parents often pick names that can be shortened (缩写). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
    people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
    (私人的) way. 　　
         For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
    same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz. 　　
         Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
    who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
    because of the fame (名气) of the footballer David Beckham.

    　　Starting from this month, you won't be hearing the word“NBA”on sports programs on CCTV．Instead, sport hosts will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA－National Basketball Association．You also won't hear any other English abbreviations on CCTV's Chinese programs, such as GDP(gross domestic product,), or WTO(World Trade Organization,)．You will hear their Chinese translations．

    　　CCTV received a notice from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, telling it to avoid using English-language abbreviations in their reports to protect the “purity” of the Chinese language．A few other TV stations also received the notice．

    　　Fu Zhenguo, an editor of People's Daily, is one of the people who proposed(提议)the change．“Using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law,”he said．“Using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who don't understand English．It will have a bad language influence on kids and teenagers．”

    　　But some experts have a different opinion．Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communications University of China, said the move shows cultural conservatism(保守主义)．

    　　“If Western countries can accept some Chinglish(中国式英语)words, why can't the Chinese language be mixed with English?”Liu said．

    　　A lot of people have criticized the move, saying that it will cause problems for them．

    　　“I understand what CD, VCD and DVD mean when I hear them．But I won't know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products' full Chinese names,”a person wrote in a BBS post．Following the same post, another person wrote jokingly：“I'm not listening to my MP3 now．I'm listening to my Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3．”

    　　Some people also question why CCTV is keeping its logo, since it is also an English abbreviation．
