Chinese people think a lot about food. 1 a matter of fact, I think that they’re sometimes obsessed(痴迷)with it. My first practice of this aspect of Chinese culture came at a banquet(宴会)during a trip to Beijing in 1998. I had eaten Chinese food often, but I could not have 2 how fabulous (丰盛的) a real Chinese banquet could be. The first six or seven dishes seemed to 3_ the table, with plates 4 _balanced  one on top of another. I thought this vast   5_ of food was the total number of dishes to be served, and I started eating   6 . Everyone else just 7_a bit of each dish and then put their chopsticks down, continuing to  8_. “They can’t have very big appetites,” I thought.

To my  9_, more dishes arrived , plus soups, side dishes, and desserts. There was enough to feed a whole army. No 10 my fellow guests had had only a few bites of each dish; they knew 11_was still to come. But I was already so 12 that I could only wait as the banquet  13__.

Stomach, ears, tongue, tail, hoof and lungs are all 14 to end up on the dinner table in front of you. The first time I saw a three-year-old kid 15_ chewing a chicken’s head, I had bad dreams for weeks.

These days I enjoy that sort of food myself. 16_ , there are other kinds of foods that have taken longer for me to 17__ . The infamous (臭名昭著的) choudoufu is a(n) 18 _ Just when I got used to it, I found another 19 _on a trip to Hunan: deep-fried choudoufu, a terrible black thing that looked and  20  like a burnt tennis shoe. Maybe I will get used to it, too—someday.
