Hi, my name is Murry Wenzel. But my friends call me Muz, Muzza, Wenz or even Moon. Yes, I have lots of nicknames(昵称；绰号). But in Australia, where I am from, that’s quite common.

In fact most men in Australia call their friends something other than their real name. It is part of our culture to shorten or make up names for those we know and love. For example, one of my friend’s names is Alex, but we call him Al. Another is named Jayson, but everyone knows him as Jase. In Australia most men called William are known as Bill, while Jeremy is Jez, James is Jim and Joseph is Joey.

Sometimes we use the person’s surname(姓氏) in their nickname, like my friend Karl Schussig who we call Schuzza.Sometimes we combine(结合；组合) them, like my friend Troy Cassels being called TC. And we sometimes make up a new name for our friends. My friend Nathan’s nickname is “ Prez”, because when we first met, he joked that I should call him “ El President”.

Even more confusing is when we are given ironic（反语的）nicknames. For example, a man with red hair will be known as Bluey, a tall man will be called Shorty or a large man will be known as Slim.

Most of my friends call me Muz, but those who I play hockey(曲棍球) with call me Moon. However, my parents still call me Murray.So, I have different names depending on who I am talking to.

Nicknames are so popular that sometimes people forget what the person’s real name is. I think it is our way of showing affection(喜爱) to those we are close to. （）51.Which of the following about nicknames is NOT true?

A. Nicknames are often used between friends.

B. Calling others nicknames is a part of Australian culture. C. You are only allowed certain nicknames.

（）54. According to ironic nicknames, if a man is tall, we can probably call him

A. Bluey B. Shorty C. Slim
