- B.to do

- D.did
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

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．
