Animals don't have soap(肥皂), but they do keep themselves clean. Many animals with hair, such as dogs and cats, keep themselves clean by licking (舔)their hair. They also use their teeth to pull out small dirty things from their hair. When they lick their hair, it is almost as if they are using a wet brush to clean themselves.‎ Birds take baths to stay clean. First they walk through water that is not deep. Next they beat（拍打) their wings to dry themselves. Birds also take sand baths（沙浴）on the ground. It is thought that they do this to drive away parasites(寄生虫).‎ Even fish need cleaning. Fish have very little parasites that live in their mouths. Some fish live by eating these parasites off other fish. Such fish are called "cleaner fish". Larger fish will open their mouths so that the cleaner fish can get in to clean.‎ Some animals that live in groups clean each other, such as monkeys. They often clean one another. One monkey may clean an area that the other monkey can't reach. How interesting it is!‎ 15‎ ‎58. One way that birds keep clean is to  __________.       ‎ A. open their mouths     B. take sand baths C. beat their wings   D. clean each other ‎59. According to the third paragraph, all the following are true EXCEPT  _______.      ‎ A. fish need cleaning ‎ B. some fish are cleaner fish C. some parasites live in the fish's mouths ‎ ‎ D. larger fish open their mouths to eat cleaner fish ‎60. You may probably read this passage in a _________.        ‎ A. weather report       B. school report       C. science book       D. history book ‎61. The best title of the passage is  _________ .‎ A. Animals Keeping Clean            B. Different Animals C. Driving Away Parasites        D. Monkeys Living in Groups D 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 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 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 15‎ ‎ for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.‎ ‎62.“ABCs” in this passage means .‎ ‎ A. three English letters B. a kind of banana ‎ ‎ C. Chinese born in America D. Americans born in ‎China ‎63.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 ‎64.The underlined word “blood” may probably mean .‎ ‎ A. 洪水 B. 祖先 C. 血统 D. 身份 ‎65.This passage mainly talks about .‎ ‎ A. different kinds of bananas B. overseas Chinese ‎ C. the Nobel Prize D. the story of C.N.
