Our children grew up on peanut butter （花生酱） and jelly （果酱） sandwiches． The delicious jelly made them （1） 　　， and homemade was the best choice． I wasn't the jelly maker in this big family． My（2） 　　was． It was always there． Jelly making was just a way of life for her． She （3） 　　did it， following the same steps﹣from picking the fruit to setting the finished jelly on the shelf．

In April， my mother left us forever． We decided to （4） 　　potted things in the house． Each of us chose from the many pots of tomato juice， green beans and jelly． The other day I （5） 　　the jelly for a quick sandwich． I suddenly（6） 　　something that I had not paid attention to before． This was the last pot we would have from my mother's loving hands． Our children had never known a day without their grandmother's jelly． It seemed like such a small thing，（7） 　　it was a great treasure． Holding the last pot in my hand， my （8） 　　traveled back to the old days． I saw her crying on my wedding （婚礼）． I saw her （9） 　　and hugging our children．

I put the jelly back on the shelf． No longer was it just a pot of jelly．（10） 　　it was there， my mother would always live on．

You may know the English letters A， B and C． But do you know there are people called ABCs？ You may like eating bananas．But do you know there are such people with the name of "banana persons"？ Are these people from "another planet （星球）"？ 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， a "banana person" 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 Chinese language． Most of them don't speak Chinese． Also， they are not interested in Chinese politics （政治）． But if ABCs can't 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 other countries 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 China． For example， we all know the famous scientist C．N． Yang （杨振宁）． He got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957． Chinese people love him． But he is an American citizen．

（1）"ABC" in this passage means " 　　"．

（2）Chinese born in western countries are called "banana persons" because 　　.

（3）The underlined word "blood" may probably mean 　　in the passage．

（4）C． N． Yang is mentioned here to show that 　　．

（5）This passage mainly talks about 　　．

Nowadays， phone calls and messages help us get in touch with others． It means that we seldom write letters now． But a TV show， Letters Alive （《见字如面》）， is bringing back this old habit．

Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses， but there are no funny jokes or competitions． It's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter． The letters were written by people from different times in history． For example， in one period， they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941． The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future．

"Every letter opens another world for us，" according to Guan Zhangwen， the director of the TV show． "We can also touch the heart of the writers'．" Since its first period on Dec． 5， Letters Alive has been widely praised． Many audiences （观众） said that it had provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows．

Besides Letters Alive， some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences． Chinese Poetry Conference is a traditional Chinese poetry competition． And Readers invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote． It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest．

（1）Letters Alive， a TV show， invites famous people to 　　．

（2）According to the passage， which sentence is RIGHT？ 　　

（3）How many cultural TV shows are there in the passage？ 　　

（4）Chinese audiences 　　these cultural TV shows．

阅读短文，根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，然后完成第5题．

It is probably no exaggeration （夸张） to say that， these days， anyone who uses WeChat or QQ also uses memes． （1） 　　Memes are usually pictures or GIFs （动图） of famous people， TV and film scenes． They are often paired with a line of words explaining the pictures．

You must have seen the memes of singer Huang Zitao with his famous words， "I will not die easily．"（2） 　　Others include actor Zhou Jie shouting with anger and basketball player Yao Ming laughing but looking like crying． If there is something in common with these people， it is probable that they all have exaggerated facial expressions． Users make memes of them for fun．

On the other hand， memes make online messaging chatting closer to real life than just sending text messages． （3） 　　For some people， like youth， they can chat online only using memes without typing a single word． Sometimes this turns into a kind of competition to see who has the most or the funniest memes． （4） 　　Do you want to have a try， too？

（5）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
