Later that night she was in bed, thinking about the gift when the door opened and her grandma
came in.“ What happened? ” her grandma asked. Hearing the girl's story, she said, “Don't worry. I
think I can help you. How about singing a song together? Happy birthday to…” What a beautiful
song! They sang and sang. Suddenly she woke up. It was a dream! She decided to write it down at
once and sing it to her friend at the party.
When she sang the song at the party the next day, her friends were very happy. “How
wonderfully you sing! I haven't heard such a beautiful song before. Thank you for giving me the
special gift.” said her friend. And they learnt to sing it together. Later the girl became well-known

Do you hope to do a lot of homework every evening? Are you interested in your English
classes? Who do you want to teach you? Maybe you have lots of questions in your mind
before school starts.
Well, I want to give you some good advice on these problems.
First, keep calm(平静). Don’t worry about all the problems you have. Put your heart into
learning, and you can find something you are interested in. Do it actively.
Second, try your best to finish your homework quickly. Don’t spend a lot of time on it.
Do more reading or writing in English. Think about the problems you have and solve them at
once. Don’t stay up late, or you can’t study well the next day.
Third, invent（发现）something instead of copying or repeating. If you can remember the
words in your way, you can tell your teachers you don’t like the way of copying them again
and again. Be sure, you must pass the test. I think your teachers will agree with you. And they
can give you some interesting work to do.

D
You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people
called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! ABC
means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States.
Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a
person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside
—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t
speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes,
of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of
another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents,
grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black
hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China.
For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang（杨振宁）. He got the Nobel Prize
for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
61．“ABCs” in this passage means_____________.
A. three English letters B. a kind of banana
C. Chinese born in America D. Americans born in China
62．Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because_____.
A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
B. they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
C. they were born in China but go to study in America
D. they like to eat bananas
63．The underlined word “blood” may probably mean ________.
A. 洪水 B. 祖先 C. 身份 D. 血统
64．Which of the sentences is False about ABCs?
A. They are Chinese citizens. B. They are overseas Chinese.
C. They may speak little Chinese. D. ABCs may know little about China.
65．This passage mainly talks about________.
A. different kinds of bananas B. overseas Chinese
C. the Nobel Prize D. the story of C.N. Yang
