Well, the most-watched TV shows every week are very popular dramas（戏剧）that are usually on at least four times every week. They are dramas1the life in the UK. We call these dramas “soap opera” or “soaps”.

    Every day, lots of fans are waiting 2 their favorite soap operas. Soap operas were 3on TV in 1952. The soap opera is not about a soap, and it is not an opera, either. It got this name because in the 1930s, soap companies(公司)4for the shows, and they told stories just like operas did. What makes the soap opera special is that the story never comes to an end.

    There are daytime and nighttime soaps. Daytime soaps usually have more 5 and they are usually made for the housewives who are often at home, 6 some washing and looking after the house and the children. Nighttime soaps are usually on once a week, and each lasts(持续) for about one hour. Most soap operas these days are shown in the evening. Each show7have many different storylines. Some of them happen at once and 8 may continue(继续) over the following shows. The same actor or actress may be seen in every show.

A banana is yellow outside and white inside. 6, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside—living like a Westerner and yellow outside—7 like a Chinese.

Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas(海外的) Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another 10 like the USA, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens.
