　　Raising chickens seems a difficult task for teenagers. Gracie Goodpasture, from Virginia, US, not only raises them, but also tries to breed(喂养) the "perfect chicken". And she even won an award for her love of science.

　　Gracie started breeding chickens in her third grade at Steward School. At first, she worked on some farms for her school project. But later, the 14-year-old started to have some ideas of her own.

　　"Some have thicker eggshells(蛋壳), and they're hearty(健壮的) throughout the winter," said Grade.

　　Since then, the young science lover started to try to find the healthiest free-range(散养) chickens. And she ended up breeding a type that now bears her name.

　　The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) gave the 2015 Angela Award to Gracie Goodpasture. Her interests don't end with chickens and eggs. She is also into building robots and testing preservatives(防腐剂) in fast foods. In her words, she wants to go to Virginia Tech for poultry(家禽) sciences in the future.

　　Did you ever think about how people got their surnames (family names)? Did you ever 66. who was the first person to have your surname?

　　Many modern British surnames go 67. to the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons who ruled England for 300 years, until 1066 AD. During those 68. , people just had one name. To tell each person apart, the Anglo-Saxons added 69. the place a person came from or the job they did to their first name. For example, a lady called Agatha 70. the town of Blackburn could be called Agatha Blackburn.

　　The Vikings, on the other hand, 71. the name of a person's father or mother. So Erik Jonsson was the son of a man named Jon. Many Viking men 72. had nicknames(绰号). These used to mean the opposite of what the person was actually like. For example, John Short could be a very 73. man, or Erik Wise could be a man who was not very clever!

　　So, next time someone tells you their surname, stop and think for a minute. It might tell you 74. about their ancestors(祖先) from centuries ago!
