home, he went to his room and put them on. He found that they were about two inches
too long. He went into the kitchen, and his mother and two sisters were doing some
washing there. He said to them, “The new pants are too long. They need cutting by two
inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me?” His mother and sisters were busy
and none of them said anything.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people
called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is a "banana
person"? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No, they are just
Chinese people like you and me.
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 and white inside — looking like a Chinese but thinking like a
Westerner. Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese
language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese
politics.
But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of
course. They are Chinese. They are overseas 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 not 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. “ABC” 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 look like Chinese but think like Westerners
C. they were born in China but got to study in America
D. they like to eat bananas
63. The underlined word “blood” may probably mean__________.
A. 国籍 B. 血统 C. 爱心
D. 皮肤

A . American Chinese are great.
B. We love American Chinese.
C. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.
D. American-Chinese are not Chinese citizens.
65 This passage mainly talks about _____.

My name is Betty. I’m from England. When I got to Beijing three months
ago, I felt lonely and sad. I had no friends to talk with, and I was not used to the food
here. What’s more, I was not good at Chinese. At that time, I didn’t know what to do
but cry. When I was sad, my Chinese teacher helped me. He not only helped me with
my poor Chinese, but also taught me how to smile at life. Now, I don’t feel lonely. I
live happily again. On weekends, my classmates and I often go to some villages to
help some poor students. We send some old books to them and often play with them. I
think I’m much luckier than them. As my teacher says, “Happiness is in your heart
forever, but you need to find it and feed it.”
