You may feel curious(好奇的) about students in other countries: Do they also have so much homework? What do they do in their free time?

On April 8, a report came out on the life of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.

Who studies hardest?

Chinese students spend the most time studying. Nearly half of Chinese students spend more than two hours on their homework every day. That’s much more than students of the US(26.4%), Japan(8.2%) and South Korea(5.2%).

Who sleeps most often in class?

Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they sometimes doze off(打瞌睡) in class. In South Korea is 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.

South Korean students don’t like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan(93%), China(90%) and the US (89%).

Who is the most distracted(分心的)?

American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted:   64.2% said they talk with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks(点心) in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated(无关的) books in class.

What do they do after school?

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! 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. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.

Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chineseblood. 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 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 for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

41. “ABCs” in this passage means_____________.

A．three English letters	B．a kind of banana
C．Chinese born in America	D．Americans born in China

42. Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because_____.

A．their bodies are white inside but yellow outside

B．they think like Westerners but look like Chinese

C．they were born in China but go to study in America

D．they like to eat bananas

43. The underlined word “blood” may probably mean ________.

A．洪水

B．祖先

C．身份

D．血统

44. Which of the sentences is WRONG about ABCs?

A．They are Chinese citizens.

B．They are overseas Chinese.

C．They may speak little Chinese.

D．ABCs may know little about China.

45. This passage mainly talks about________.

A．different kinds of bananas

B．overseas Chinese

C．the Nobel Prize

D．the story of C.N. Yang

任务型阅读，阅读下面短文，根据要求完成下列各题。
It's Really a Miracle(奇迹)
Mr. Clarke works in New York and brought his family to China. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for Shanghai, the Clarkes climbed up the Great Wall. It was the greatest project about three thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car. And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn't find the bag and their expensive camera was in it. They were all sorry for it：They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
That evening they didn't have supper. Mr. Clarke hoped to make them happy and said, “Well. Let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-storey building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn't hurt himself. ”
“It was a miracle!” called out his children. “Why?”
“Because he lived on the first floor!”
They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy found it under the big tree and he asked them to find out who lost it.
“It's really a miracle!” the Clarkes said happily.
