students discussed the kinds of things they knew jace would like. with great excitement, the gifts began to come in. after several days of absences, you can imagine our disappointment when we learned that jaces absences were due to the fact that he had moved away! apparently(明显地), jaces father had lost his job, causing them to move. no one knew where they were, and the cell phone number would ring with no response. finally, at 9:30 pm on christmas eve, i decided to try one last time. amazingly, jace answered the phone!i explained the story to jace and i spoke with his father. then i was driving to jaces home. when i arrived, i was excited to see jace. it took several trips to my car to get all of the gifts inside. jace was so surprised and grateful. his joyful smile that evening lit up the sky.i went to sleep that night thinking about jace and all of the fun he had. i thought about my thoughtful students and how excited i was to tell them all about finding jace. with a smile of my own,

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

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 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.

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.28. “abc” in this text stands for “_”.a. three english letters b.
