10、s, 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 ye

11、llow 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

12、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 g

13、reat 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.

16、ant be healthy if youre dead.” Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safely belt- a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars

17、some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: Its best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are youll have tra

18、veled through a wind shield （挡风玻璃）or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear. Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies

19、 show that people knocked unconscious（昏迷）due to not wearing safely belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safely belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number T

20、hree: Safely belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour（ mph）.Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.24.

21、er, “But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead”?A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street.C. He didnt have his safety belt on. D.

25、 of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishmen

26、t. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-ma

27、de rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their ow

28、n methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a

29、 rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.
