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 — looking 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 don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.‎ ‎ But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas 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). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him.

Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them needles so that they won’t carry disease(疾病). They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are ‎ welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild(野生的) animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished(处罚). If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family tie is not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own career(生涯). Then the seniors(老人) will feel lonely.

However, some people , including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they say that people should have the right（权利）to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity(尊严)and to decide when they want to die.

When they got home, the children said,“ We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.”‎ ‎ “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Everything was cheaper there.” “We know,” the children said,“but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry.

But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%—the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty. ‎ However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on. ‎ We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places. ‎ But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up. ‎( ) 46. The world is thirsty for water because . A. man hasn't got enough food to eat B. we haven't got enough fresh water C. only 70% of the earth's surface is water D. more water is sent into sewer systems ‎( ) 47. The underlined word valuable means . A. much and salty B. fresh and enough C. dear and useful D. clean and helpful ‎( ) 48.　What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water?‎ ‎(a) Make full use of the sea water. (b) Carry salt water into lakes or rivers. ‎(c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible. (d) Do our best to use the water again. ‎(e) Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface. A.(c)and(e)B.(a)and(d) C.(a),(c)and(d) D.(b),(d)and(e) ‎( ) 49.The best but the most difficult way to solve (解决) the water problem of the world is to . ‎ A. remove the salt from sea water B. make the water in cities clean C. take water from underground  D. make the need for water smaller  ‎( ) 50. What's the best title (标题) for this passage? A. The Importance of the Water B. The World's Water Problem C. The Thirsty World  D.
