You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as 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. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white insidethinking like a Westerner and yellow outsidelooking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them dont speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. 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 not people of the Peoples 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.21. “ABC” in this text stands for “_”.A. three English letters B. Chinese born in AmericaC. a kind of banana D. Americans born in China22. Chinese in western countries are called “banana persons” because _.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they were born in China but go to study in AmericaC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they are Chinese who look like bananas23.

This text is mainly about _.A. different kinds of bananas B. the life story of C. N. YangC. the Nobel Prize D. overseas ChineseB When we moved to China seven months ago, we were very worried about what we would be eating, and how we would live. We never thought that we would fall in love with the Chinese eating habits and style. We also never imagined that we have lost 80 pounds! We thought we should share some of our tricks with you. Here is the Chinese Dietfive easy things you can do to lose weight. Use a smaller bowl -much smaller Go into your cupboard and find your smallest bowl. Now that will be the bowl that you will eat out of. By doing this you actually pick much less food than you are naturally served. Vegetables are your main course For example, you might have one plate of a cucumber dish, one of corncarrots, and then another with ribs. Find a few dishes that your whole family loves and rotate(轮换) those. Cut down on your meat dairy We eat very little meat. So do most Chinese. We eat very little dairy. It was hard at first. Cut it down and try to limit it to eggs, milk and yogurt. Use chopsticks to eat We love eating with chopsticks and wonder why we didnt use them more at home. You eat a lot slower, A LOT. Introduce rice and noodles into your meals A Chinese diet includes a lot of rice and noodles. So our daily diet is no different, we eat rice and noodles 3 times a day. We wish we had known these simple tricks back home that make such a difference in our waistline.25. According to the text, the author_.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up with the Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment(公寓房间) in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life-style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series (系列) of short stories. He called it Keeping up with the Joneses because Jones is a very common name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are Jonses in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.28. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _.
