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 did you know there is such a thing as a “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 don't speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, England, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents of 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 PRC. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang. He got the Noble Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.
To learn English well, you need two things—passion and good learning methods(方法). Passion is the more important one. Why Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to learn it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will learn it regularly(有规律地) and spend much time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules.

When you don't want to learn English, you can do the following things.
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager in a foreign company. Imagine you're living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you'll learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, write English diaries, and read interesting books written in English.

Do you know something about the Akuapem people They live in eastern Ghana(加纳), where the sunshine hugs all the time. They are very friendly. Now let's have a look at how the Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, for the host(主人) thinks that the visitor must have come from a very long trip and is in need of water. Then the host family greet the visitor by saying "Akwaaba". More interestingly, if there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because the left hand is regarded dirty according to the Akuapem people.
Next, the visitor is asked how his trip was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and children, especially girls, are cooking food for the visitor. The visitor can choose the food. After the visitor has finished eating, the host and the visitor continue their conversation. Usually this is a short one since the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food to take along. He is also accompanied(陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
No matter if he is a close friend or just a passer-by (过路人), this is always the way that the friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.
根据短文内容,完成下列小题。
19. What is the visitor offered at first by the family of Akuapem
