V. 阅读理解（5*2分）

Steven Chu is a famous Chinese-American scientist. He was born in the United States in 1948, but his

family always told him, "You are Chinese. Your hometown is Suzhou."

Steven grew up in a family of smart people. His parents and brothers were all excellent students. However, Steven felt he was just a "black sheep" in the family. In the ninth grade, he even stopped going to school for a few months because he couldn't stand the pressure.

Luckily, his parents didn't force him to give up. They gave him the freedom to find what he loved. As a child, Steven liked to take things apart and play with small parts on the floor. His mother never asked him to clean them up. This free environment helped him grow. Later, he chose to study physics, even though his father thought it was too difficult to succeed in this field.

Steven worked hard for 20 years. Finally, in 1997, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his amazing research. However, he stayed very calm. He told his students, "I am still the same person. I will still go to class as usual."

In 1998, at the age of 50, Steven made an important decision. He returned to Suzhou, China, for the first time. Standing on the land of his hometown, he felt very moved. He said, "Although I was born in America, I am completely Chinese."
