阅读下列短文，并选择正确答案。

Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle (中间的) name and the family name. Their family name comes last (末尾). For example, my full name (全名) is Jim Allan Green. Jim is my first name. Allan is my middle name. Green is my family name.

People don’t use their middle names very much. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss. before their first names. So you can say “John Brown”, or “Mr. Brown”; but you should never say “Mr. John”. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name.

Sometimes people ask me about my name. “Why did your parents call you Jim?” they ask, “Why did they choose (选择) that name?” I answer, “They didn’t call me Jim. They called me James.” “James” was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me “Jim”, because it is shorter and easier than (比……更短、更简单) “James”.
