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. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside ---looking like a Chinese. Do you know why? 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 Chinese. They are overseas (海外) 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 the 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. The Chinese love him, but he is an American citizen.( )44. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. He wants to tell us something about “ABC”.B.

She walks five kilometers before breakfast every morning, and goes swimming twice a week at the swimming pool. She doesn’t smoke and never drinks wine(酒). She doesn’t eat chocolate, and she doesn’t eat sweet and fatty foods.One day Alice was on her daily walk when she saw a man sitting in a chair. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking(发抖), but he looked very happy.He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”He had a big smile on his face, and his eyes showed his happiness. But Alice saw that he had no teeth.“Good morning!”said Alice.“Yes, it’s a lovely day.”Alice thought he was old and clever. She thought he must be more than 90 years old. She wanted to ask him about the secret of a happy old age.“Excuse me. But what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do when I am your age.”The man in the chair said, “My secret for happiness? I smoke every day, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers, I eat chocolate and I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit and watch TV all day.”Alice couldn’t understand. She wanted to know how the man got to be so old when he did everything wrong. She thought he should be sick and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life without eating well and doing lots of sports. “How old are you?”she asked.“It’s my birthday today.”said the man, “I am forty-seven.”( )47.
