The Eurovision Song Contest takes place in May every year．Before the final competition，people in each country choose the song they want to represent(代表)their country．The idea of the contest is to promote(促进) pop music from all of the different countries and to give an opportunity(机会)to new singers and composers.

(A)Only members of the European Broadcasting Union can take part in the competition·Singers do not have to have the nationality of the countries they represent．For example，in 1963 the singer Nana Mouskouri represented Luxembourg，although she is Greek．Since 1986，singers must be over 16，after a l3-year-old from Belgium won the competition in 1985．

    In the first years of Eurovision only the United Kingdom，Ireland，and Maita could sing in English. Now there are no rules about languages，So groups can sing in their own languages，or in English if they want to．(B)Today almost all countries sing in English．

    The competition is always in the country where the last year’s winner came from．The country with the most winners is Ireland，and many Eurovision singers have become very famous，for example Abba and Julio lglesias.

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 that?

ABC means America –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 nationalities (国籍)are Americans. So they think like Americans and do things like Americans. But they still have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or 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(扬振宁). He is an ABC and he is a “banana person”. We like him, although his nationality isn’t Chinese.
