【題目】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 is such a thing as “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 thinking 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 do not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.

But if ABC cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, England and Canada, 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 (楊振寧).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizens.

【題目】Using social media(社交媒體)to post photos is pretty new. Facebook did not start until 2004. Instagram started in 2010. It was not until 2013 that the Oxford English language dictionary added the term“selfie”. The meaning of“selfie is“a photograph that one has taken of oneself.”

Why do people take“selfies”? Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer that question. They came up with some surprising answers.

People who post selfies and use editing softwares to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism(自戀), the Syracuse researchers said. Narcissists are people who think very highly of themselves, especially how they look.

Ji Won Kim, who worked on the study, said social media can be superficial. By superficial, she means social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives -not deeply personal issues.

_____________. People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found.

Other findings from the study include: There are no main differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing softwares like Meitu. But men who post selfies show more of a need than women who post selfies.

Another researcher Makana Chock also worked on the study. She said selfies should not be seen as completely negative. She said some people feel “peer pressure”(同伴壓力)to post selfies. And some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen.

1Theunderlinedword“superficial”inParagraph4means_______inChinese.

A. 草率的 B. 表面的 C. 重要的 D. 積極的

2AccordingtoMakanaChock,peoplepostselfiesto__________.

A. thinkhighlyofthemselves B. showaneedforpopularity
