In 1961 Obama was born in Hawaii, US. His father is an African and his mother is a white American. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii.
When Obama was 10 years old, he was one of only three black students at his school in Hawaii. He felt very different from most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy even asked him what his father was.
“I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince(王子). But I kept asking myself who I am,” said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Obama became the first black president(總統(tǒng)) in US history.
This unusual background(背景) made him wonder who he was. He once turned to alcohol (酒) to help forget this question.
With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around at college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard. Later, he became only the third black senator (參議員) in US history.
“Obama’s success has made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged (判斷)by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character,” wrote ABC news.

【小題5】C
解析【小題1】從本文的第一句我們可以知道奧巴馬出生在夏威夷,夏威夷屬于美國(guó),所以我們可以說奧巴馬出生于美國(guó),故選B。
【小題2】在本文第二段首句中提到當(dāng)奧巴馬十歲的時(shí)候,在夏威夷的一所學(xué)校讀書,學(xué)校里只有三個(gè)黑人,也就是說除了奧巴馬只有,只有兩個(gè)黑人,故本題選C。
【小題3】本文的第四段提到奧巴馬在夏威夷讀書之后過了37年,成為美國(guó)的第一任黑總統(tǒng),也就是奧巴馬47當(dāng)選了美國(guó)總統(tǒng),故選C。
【小題4】本文的第六段提到奧巴馬在他朋友們的幫助之下和艱辛的工作,而改變了他的大學(xué)人生,奧巴馬曾經(jīng)受到白人的歧視,而謊稱自己的父親是肯尼亞的王子,又想通過酒精來忘掉自己的身份,但是未能做到,故本題中正確的選項(xiàng)是D,故選D。
【小題5】本文的最后一句可以得出本文的主要意思是,我們判斷一個(gè)人不能以膚色作為依據(jù),而應(yīng)該以品質(zhì)作為依據(jù),故本題意思符合的為C項(xiàng),故選C。

“ABC”and “Banana Persons”
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. They are Chinese people like you and me, but they aren’t in China.Why do people call them like that?
“ABC” means American-born Chinese. An “ABC” is a Chinese,
but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people also call them
“banana persons”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So when
a person is a banana, he or she is white (American) inside and yellow (Chinese)
outside.
They are born in America and they live in America for a long time. Even
their nationality(國(guó)籍) is American. So they think like Americans and do things
like Americans. But they still have Chinese blood(血). Their parents, grandparents
or even great-grandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.
So they look like us Chinese people. For example, we all know the famous scientist
C.N.Yang. He is an “ABC” and he is a “banana person”. We like him, although(雖然)
his nationality isn’t Chinese.
【小題1】What does “ABC” mean?
A.American-born Chinese | B.American-born Canadian |
C.Australian-born Chinese | D.Chinese-born Chinese |
A.They look like Americans but they think like Chinese. |
B.They look like Chinese but they think like Americans. |
C.They like to eat bananas. |
D.They can speak “ABC” very well. |
A.Their eyes and hair are black. |
