I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America . It is said, “The best house is in the U.S.A., the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China. ”So I took 26 and pleasure to 27 “the best food” for my American family.Eachday,regardless of my poor skill of cooking,Iperformed(表演)my play in 28 way:changing thedishes’ colour,the meat’s typeor the soup’s style(风味).Thus,my American friends could discover the 29 of eating Chinese food. Because of my“ 30 ”job,I was often rewarded(奖励)by their 31 of appreciation (感激) such as “very tasty”,“excellent”, etc. But the joke was here: yesterday, I cooked Sichuan-style 32 for dinner. Iwas 33 at my achievement(成就). When all the family members arrived at the table,they first looked 34 at the fish,then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their 35 ?” they asked,“It’s horrible!” Horrible or beautiful? I don’t know. But I 36 know that fish heads are delicious. The 37 is the best part of fish; in 38 only the respectable(受敬重的)guest can have the special 39 of enjoying it. Another 40 thingis:the American friends often said to me“ 41 ”as they 42 fruitsor other things. According to Chinese tradition(传统),I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 43 actually helping myself to any of the food. 44 ,I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits.Dear me,no matter how much or how often I brought home food, as long as it was nice to their taste,they 45 hesitated(犹豫) to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished. 26 .
