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 oversea 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.

举一反三

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, at the same time they usually talk about a lot of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen—they can't do both—and they don't understand that women can. Besides(此外), women think that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships--not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring (盯着) at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot(the story that is told in a novel or play or movie etc.) and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the small body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally(情绪上). Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully because they want to keep relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to connect to the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a way of keeping relationship. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing(令人信服的)evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents reply to the brain differences of their children. Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we talk to them more. As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short complaints in reply.

When visiting the southern Chinese city of Liuzhou, the first thing people notice is quietness. What is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(找不到的) is the continuous noise of fuel vehicles(燃油车辆) in most big cities. It is because {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (差不多)50% of the cars sold in Liuzhou in 2022 were electric vehicles (EVs, 电动汽车), making the city of about four hundred {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (百万) people the biggest EV market in the world. Not only that, the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(自然的) environment of the city is also wonderful.

Liuzhou' s first move was to let people know more about EVs. SAIC-GM-Wuling carried out a free 10-month test-drive plan in 2017. More than 15,000 people took the carmaker' s Baojun E100 for a trial. The trial was so popular that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (机会) ran out within minutes, and 70% of test-drivers bought one of the vehicles. Wuling then studied people's needs and driving habits to{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(提升) their products.

At the beginning, people had many worries about EVs, such as safety or the problem about charging. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (事实上), it's very comfortable to use EVs. Free parking and tens of thousands of charge points are on hand for drivers. People have realized not only does it save money and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(能源) to drive electric cars but also there are many charge points for convenience. Besides, the air is becoming cleaner after more and more EVs hit the road.

"Guiding people towards electric cars is not easy," said Jochen Siebert, who {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(设法完成) to achieve the popularity. But officials of Guangxi are also trying to make the use of EVs more popular in other cities, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(包括) in other parts of China. "Cities should support the light-weight and small vehicles coming into the city as those vehicles can fit everywhere and don' t use too much power," Siebert said. "That should be the future."

On May 5，2017, China's home-made passenger aircraft C919 completed its 90-minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai.

C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4, 075 and 5, 555 kilometers. It's reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers，mostly Chinese，but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world's narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035.

The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both "COMAC" and "China". The number 9 is pronounced as jiu in Chinese, which means "forever". And the number 19 refers to its capacity (容量）of 190 passengers.

The large passenger aircraft is praised as "the flower of modern industry". It is a symbol of the nation's industrial and technological standards as well as the comprehensive (综合的）power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy (战略）of the nation, COMAC bears the nation's dream and people's trust. China considers it as a national pride.
