I spent two months with an American family last __36__ 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 __37__ is in China.” So I took pride and pleasure to __38__ “the best food” for my American family．Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I performed（表演）my play in __39__ way：changing the dishes’ colour, the meat’s type or the soup’s style（风味）. Thus, my __40__ friends could discover the __41__ of eating Chinese food． Because of my “__42__” job，I was often rewarded by their __43__ of appreciation （感激） such as “very tasty”，“excellent”, etc．
But the joke was here: yesterday, I cooked Sichuan－style __44__ for dinner. I was pleased at my achievement（成就）．
When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked __45__ at the fish，then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their heads?” 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 China only the respectable guest can have the special __48__ 4000 of enjoying it.
Another __49__ thing is: the American friends often said to me “ __50 _ ” as they brought home fruits or other things． According to Chinese tradition, I would simply smile in answer to their kindness __51__ actually helping myself to any of the food. __52__, I said “help __53__” to them whenever I brought home fruits．Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought __54__ food, as long as it was nice to their taste, they __55__ hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished.
