I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America. It is said, “The best house is in America, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China.” So I took pride （自豪）and __21__ to __22__ “the best food” for my American family. Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I would do something in __23__ way: changing the dishes’ colour, the meat’s type or the soup’s style. （风味）Thus, my American friends could discover the __24__ of eating Chinese food. Because of my “_ _25_ _” job, I was often rewarded （奖励） by their _ _26__ of appreciation （感激）such as “very delicious”, “excellent”, etc. But the joke was here: Yesterday, I cooked Sichuan style __27__ for dinner. I was __28__ at my achievement.（成就） When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked _ _29_ _ at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their __30__?” they asked, “It’s terrible!” Terrible or beautiful? I don’t know. But I __31_ know that fish heads are delicious. The __32__ is the best part of fish; in __33_ _ only the respectable （受敬重的）guest can have the special honour of __34__ it. Another __35_ _ thing is: The American friends often said to me “_ _36__ ” as they __37_ _ fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness __38__ actually helping myself to any of the food. __39__ , 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 __40__ hesitated （犹豫）to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished 小题1: A．worry B．attention C．delight D．pleasure 小题2: A．buy B．fetch C．cook D．leave 小题3: A．their B．a new C．the same D．a simple 小题4: A．way B．joy C．trouble D．importance 小题5: A．hard B．daily C．good D．new 小题6: A．expressions B．flowers C．talk D．smile 小题7: A．meat B．fish C．soup D．egg 小题8: A．praised B．pleased C．good D．surprised 小题9: A．happily B．excitedly C．surprisedly D．worriedly 小题10: A．bones B．skins C．tails D．heads 小题11: A．do B．will C．want to D．should 小题12: A．tail B．head C．soup D．flesh 小题13: A．fact B．China C．USA D．the West 小题14: A．enjoying B．looking at C．playing with D．cooking 小题15: A．real B．exciting C．interesting D．easy 小题16: A．please help us B．excuse me C．help yourself D．eat them please 小题17: A．brought home B．wanted C．were buying D．were eating 小题18: A．not B．but not C．without D．nor 小题19: A．At last B．Above all C．After all D．In return 小题20: A．usual B．often C．never D．had
