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 do you know there are people called “banana persons”? If you don't know, I will tell you about it. They are some Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China. Why do people call them like that?

If we call somebody an ABC person, we mean he or she is a Chinese but was born (出生) in America. Sometimes, people also call them “banana persons”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So if somebody is a “banana person”, he or she is “white” inside and “yellow” outside. By saying that, we mean he or she has yellow skin(皮肤) but does things in an American way. “Banana persons” were born in America and they live in America for a long time, so they think like Americans and do things like Americans. However, these people still have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents are from China. They all have black eyes and black hair, so they look like us, Chinese people.

There are many famous “banana persons” in America. They do very well in America and they are really great in their own fields.

举一反三

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect(尊重) and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn't have it turned up too high.
Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it's OK just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.
It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!”But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!

In America, just as in Europe, men usually open doors for women, and women always walk ahead of men into a room or a restaurant, unless the men have to be ahead of the ladies to choose the table, to open the door of a car or do some other things like the above. On the street, men almost always walk or cross the street on the closer side of the ladies to the traffic. But if a man walks with two ladies he should walk between them. If a host or hostess or both of them drive to get their guest for dinner, the guest should sit at the front seat and leave the back seat though there are no people sitting on it

Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms

By Haizi

From tomorrow on. I will be a happy man

Grooming, chopping and travelling all over the world.

From tomorrow on. I will care about food and vegetables.

Living in a house towards the sea with spring blossoms.

From tomorrow on. I will write to each of my dear ones.

Telling them of my happiness, which is the happiest lightening told me.

I will spread it to each one of them, giving every river and every mountain a warm name.

Strangers, I will also wish you happy.

May you have a brilliant future!

May you lovers eventually become spouses!

May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!

I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.

Every year during the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会), there is an important report. It is the Government Work Report (政府工作报告). On March 5, Premier Li Keqiang gave this year's report at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The report is about the Chinese government's work. How did the government do last year? And what does it plan to do this year?

Take a look at some parts of this year's report!

Fast facts about the Government Work Report

Last year's work:

· China's GDP grew by 6.6 percent. The GDP is the value (价值) of everything made in a country in a year.

· Per-capita disposable income (人均可支配收入) grew by 6.5 percent.

· About 13.61 million new jobs were created in cities.

This year's plan:

· Over 10 million people will be lifted out of poverty (贫困). Each of them will make over 2,300 yuan a year.

· Air pollution will decrease (减少).

· Mobile phone users will pay 20 percent less for mobile internet services (移动网络服务).

The government's job is to help us live better lives. It has to work hard in order to do this. This year's Government Work Report asks the government to do more. Take a look!

Government works for the public; words can't compare with actions.

Struggle creates history; hard work makes a bright future.

Make big advances in green development.

Only when the elderly live happily can the young have a future to look forward to.

The Italians are famous for many things, including art, history, fashion and their style of cooking. Some of the best food in the world was created by Italians. The Italians make pizza and spaghetti, and they also make excellent desserts.

One of my favorites is ice cream. The ice cream here is soft, delicious and very cheap. I am studying in Puglia, Italy and I have to stop myself from eating it every day. I like sitting on a park bench with a new flavor（味道）of ice cream.

Nowadays, most of the ice cream produced in Italy is still handmade and there are lots of Italian ice cream shops around the world.

The ice cream shops here in Puglia are open for most of the day. People can go and have an ice cream at any time, even late at night. There are so many interesting flavors that you could never possibly get bored of it. I always spend a long time looking through the glass, trying to decide what to have. I usually choose my favorite flavors. One evening though, I chose a new flavor. It translates as" English soup", which sounded funny and made me curious to taste it. The taste of the ice cream was quite strong but I enjoyed it anyway.

I love the cold sweetness of the ice cream. Ice cream is one of my favorite things about Italian style of cooking. This year, I'm going to try as many flavors as possible.
