AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating banan as. But do you know there is such a thing as a “banana perso n”? 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 A BC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white i nside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside -thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chi nese. Do you know why? Some ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also, some of them are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them C hinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens(居民) of another coun try like the U.S. England or Canada, but they have Chinese blo od. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents wer e from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But the y are not Chinese People’s Republic of China. For e xample, we all know the famous scientist Yang Zhenning. He got the Nobe l Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. BUT HE IS AN American citizen.31. What does an “ABC” mean in this passage?A. A Chinese who was born in America.B.
