YoumayknowtheEnglishlettersA,BandC.ButdoyouknowtherearepeoplecalledABCs?Youmaylikeeatingbananas.Bu下面是小编为大家整理的2023中考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案：ABC,供大家参考。
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.
