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.
1.“ABCs” in this passage means .
A.three English letters B.a kind of banana

2.Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because .
A.their bodies are white 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
3.The underlined word “blood” may probably mean .
A.洪水 B.祖先 C.血统 D.身份
4.Which of the sentences is WRONG about ABCs?
A.ABCs may know little about China.
B.They are overseas Chinese.
C.They may speak little Chinese.
D.They are Chinese citizens.
5.This passage mainly talks about .
A.different kinds of bananas B.overseas Chinese

People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are still an important part of our lives.
Books offer the outstanding wealth of learning and at a much lower price than taking a course. Books can make people much cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.
Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could as become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our reading abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives. So I think people should read books.
1.What activity is less popular these days than before?
A.Reading a hook. B.Listening to the radio:
C.Watching TV. D.Surfing the Internet.
2.We can learn from the second paragraph that_____
A.reading can make your memory better B.reading can make you interesting and attractive
C.reading can make you smarter D.reading can reduce stress
3.The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph means______.
A.the books they are reading B.the directions on a medicine bottle

4.Some people don't agree to read books because they think_______.
A.walking in the city also needs reading skills B.driving along the road is dangerous
C.reading books is very helpful for our abilities D.reading books just wastes their time
