I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．It is said that “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
36 and pleasure to
37 “the best food” for my American family．Each day，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed my play in
38 way：changing the dishes’colour，the meat’s type or the soup’s style．Thus，my American friends could discover the
39 of eating Chinese food． Because of my“
40 ” job，I was often rewarded by their
41 of appreciation , such as “very tasty”，“excellent”etc．But the joke was here： yesterday， I cooked Sichuan－style
42 for dinner．I was
43 at my achievement．When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked
44 at the fish，then looked at me． “Why do all the fish have their
45 ？” they asked，“It’s horrible！” Horrible or beautiful？ I don’t know． But I
46 know that fish heads are delicious. The
47 is the best part of fish； in
48 only the respectable guest can have the special
49 of enjoying it． Another
50 thing is：the American friends often said to me“
51 ”as they
52 fruits or other things． According to Chinese tradition，I would simply smile in answer to their kindness
53 actually helping myself to any of the food.
54 ，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
55 hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished．
