ABCs？You may like eating bananas，but do 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 Americaborn Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese，but was born in the US.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 can not speak Chinese.Also，they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs cant speak Chinese，can we still call them Chinese people？Yes，of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas Chinese.These people may be citizens of another country like the US，Canada or Singapore，but they have Chinese blood.Their parents，grandparents or even greatgrandparents 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 scientistCN.Yang (杨振宁)He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.36“ABC”in the passage stands for_.A3 English letters Ba kind of bananaCChinese born in America DAmericans born in China37Chinese in western countries are called “banana persons” because_.Atheir bodies are white inside but yellow outsideBthey think like westerners but look like ChineseCthey were born in China but go to study in AmericaDthey like to eat bananas38This passage mainly talks about_.Adifferent kinds of bananas Boverseas ChineseCthe Nobel Prize Dthe life story of CN.YangBGetting a good education is more important today than ever before.It is the best thing you can do to build a better future for your children and yourself.Most children in Canada attend public schools.Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income.Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes.Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French.The rest of Canadian children attend private schools，which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents.Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.By law，children must attend school from age 5 to 16.Children are usually in school between 830 or 900 am.，and 330 or 400 pm.，Monday through Friday，from September to the middle of June.There are several different levels in the Canadian education system.The first is called Elementary Schools.In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13，children go to Secondary School or High School.High School students must take certain courses for several years，such as English or French and Mathematics.Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school.Other courses prepare students for college or university.In Canada，teenagers usually make these choices for themselves，with the advice of their teachers，guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day.These include sports ，games，music and clubs.Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities.Parents nights are organized from time to time.These are chances for parents to discuss their childrens progress with teachers.You may wish to bring a friend with you.After graduating from high school，many young adults continue their studies through postsecondary education.39According to the passage，students in Canada can get education for free in_.Aprivate school BuniversitiesCpublic schools Dcommunity (社区) college40Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThere are only boys in some private schools.BThere are only boys in some public schools.CThere are both boys and girls in some private schools.DThere are both boys and girls in all public schools.41We can tell that from the middle of June to August，the students in Canada are_.Aon school holidaysBin schoolCat workDpreparing for the final examination42What is the passage mainly talking about?AGetting a good education is more important today in Canada than ever before.BPerfect education system in the world.CEducation in Canada.DCanadathe best choice for foreign students.CSurprisingly，no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals，still less the content or quality of that education.Proper records are just not kept.We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year，and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country.It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a parttime teacher.The special childrens hospitals in major cities do best；general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey，one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacherand that contact may be as little as two hours a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all.They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school.If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work；without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied，and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do.The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching，and are told to catch up as best as they can.Many shortstay childpatients catch up quickly.But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.43The author points out at the beginning that_.Aevery child in hospital receives some teachingBnot enough is known about hospital teachingChospital teaching is of poor qualityDthe special childrens hospitals are worst off44It can be inferred from the latest survey that_.Ahospital teaching across the country is similarBeach hospital has at least one parttime teacherCall hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenDonly onefourth of the hospitals have fulltime teachers45Children in hospital usually turn to_in order to catch up with their school work.Ahospital teachers Bschoolmates Cparents Dschool teachers46We can conclude from the passage that the author is_.Aunfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitalsBin favor of the present state of teaching in hospitalsCunsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingDsatisfied with the results of the latest surveyDBeijing (Xinhua)Blind Chinese pianist Sun Yan,23，will give a concert at the Peoples Liberation Army Theatre in downtown Beijing.Sun，a student at the wellknown China Central Conservatory of Music，was born with cataracts (白内障)，which caused him to become blind.He started learning to play the piano when he was three years old and immediately gained acclaim (喝彩) as a piano virtuoso at the age of six.Guo Shulan，head of the CCCM，said Sun was the first blind student the school had ever received in its halfcentury history.The wellknown piano teacher，Yang Jun，taught Sun personally and found him to be greatly talented and strongly determined.At his concert，Sun will play a dozen masterpieces by composers，such as Bach，Beethoven and Chopin.“Common piano players may have a look at these long and difficult musical pieces while playing，but Sun would have to spend a much，much longer time to fully memorize a piece of music，” Yang said.“He plays the piano for at least six hours every day.”With painstaking effort for the past few years，Sun achieved very good grades at school and also gained an audience worldwide.He was invited to visit dozens of countries and regions and even performed at top theatres such as Caregie Hall in the United States.Top fashion brand Mark Fairwhale and piano manufacturer Bosendorfrr will offer Sun a financial support fund and the use of piano，respectively.The PLA Theatre will also provide him technical support and a stage setting design free of charge.Three schoolmates of Suns who were also pianists，for winning top prizes in international competitions，will be guest performers at the concert.Expecting to graduate with a bachelor degree next year，Sun has applied to study for a masters degree.“Music changes peoples lives.I hope I can continue to study the piano for the rest of my life.” Sun said.47Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?ASun Yanks achievements in musicBBlind Chinese pianist to give concert in BeijingCSun Yan，successful blind pianist in ChinaDBlind pianist gains international fame48The underlined word “virtuoso” in the second paragraph most probably means_.Aexcellent teacher Bexcellent studentCexcellent producer Dexcellent player49The CCCM has a history of_.Aabout 23 years Babout 50 years Cabout 10 years Dabout 150 years50 What does Sun Yan benefit most from on his way to being a wellknown pianist besides his born talent?A His being blindness.B BHis early beginning with piano practice.CHis great efforts and help from various fields.DThe technical support from his classmates.EIf you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses，would this make you feel good？The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or anotherand some of us do it pretty often.Its a surefire recipe for a drop in selfconfidence and for unhappiness.So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others？Here are some tips Ive found useful.Awareness.Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing were doing it.Its a natural act，I suppose.So the solution is to become aware.If you focus on these thoughts for a few days，it will become much easier with practice，and soon itll be hard not to notice.Stop yourself.Once you realize youre making these comparisons，stop yourself.Dont feel badjust admit the thought，and gently change the focus.Count your blessings.Focus on what you do have，and on what you are already blessed with.Count what you have，not what you don t have.Think about how lucky you are to have what you have，to have the people in your life who care about you.If you always want what others have，you will never have enough.You will always want more.That s an endless cycle，and it will never lead to happiness.Instead，learn to realize that what you have is already enough.Focus on your strengths.Instead of looking at your weaknesses，ask yourself what your strengths are.Be proud of them.Work on using them to your best advantage._No one is perfectwe all know that.But we seem to feel bad when we dont reach perfection.You arent perfect and you never will be.Keep trying to improve，but dont think youll ever be the “perfect person”If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are，you are already perfect.51The writers purpose in writing this passage is to_.Aexplain why some people often think poorly df themselvesBprove that often
