You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did 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 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---hinting like a Westerner(西方人) and yellow outside --- looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some 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 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 not 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 Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. www.xkb1.com“ABC” in this passage stands for “_______”.

Once a man walked into a doctor’s examining room(检查室) “Open your mouth and say ‘ah…’,” the doctor only took a look at it.
“OK,” the doctor said. “I’m sure what’s wrong with you. You need more exercise.” “But, doctor,” the man said. “I don’t think…”
“Don’t tell me what you think, ” the doctor said. “I am the doctor, not you. I know what you need. I see many people like you. They seldom do sports in life. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. So you need to walk quickly for at least 30 minutes a day.”
“Doctor, but you don’t know,” the man said. “I…”
“I don’t want to hear any excuses,” the doctor said. “It’s necessary for you to do exercise. If you don’t, you will get fat(肥胖的) and have health problems when you are older.”
“But I walk every day,” the man said.
“Oh, yes, and I know about your walking. You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house, a few more meters from the stop to your office, and a few more meters from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back.”

on, “and I walk at least seven hours every day.”
