take action是固定搭配，意为“采取行动”。
由下面Chil。的例子可知，有些人改名字是由于个人的（personal)原因。
此处表示：他不想让他爸爸知道他在写诗。
at other times意为“在其他的一些时候”。
wrote前缺少表示人的主语。故选B。
后面又讲到了人们换名字的另外一些原因，故此空应填表示转折意义的however。
由下面的例子可知，此处表示：最常见的情况（the most common)。
改名字是因为名字太长不好记。故选C。
由前面的difficult to remember可知此处应是not as easy to remember。
此处表示有些人改名字是因为市场目的。故选A。
由61空前的marketing可知此处应填market。
此处表示：名字好听一些，故选D。
此处表示：艺术家选择他们所崇拜人的名字。故选C。
