(C) Before I came to China, I had heard that ,although North Americans eat more than Chinese ,Chinese eat better .Since I have come to China ,I have been able to experience these differences first-hand.A whole new world of food has been opened up to me . Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals associated with eating .For example,shortly after arriving ,I was gently criticized for filling somebody’s teacup all the way up instead of half way. This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave. There may be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food. But the fact is that there may be a message contained in the preparation ,serving and consumptionof food in China. This was an idea that was totally new to me ! More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigner to a meal .They told me that the foreigner was not appreciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please . Having played the part of the foreigner at more than one Chinese buffet, I can understand where the misunderstandings come from .I myself have felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners I have been invited to . One time I was invited to a dinner in a famous restaurant in Tianjin. Its menu was based on seafood .I was still relatively new to the concept that your fish would be brought live to your table .In Canada you are never introduced to your meal before hand .Something we don’t like is considering what our food looks like before that actual consumption. However ,having been in China for one year, I went along and helped point out some of the selections for the evening’s meal .I hesitated at the scorpions,but swallowed my distaste and indeed found later that they were tasty. The meal was winding its way along without any problems .Then they brought out the lobster. I looked at it and then looked at it again and noticed that it was still moving !It had been brought out live to show that our raw lobster was indeed very fresh. At that point ,I nearly lost it .It took all of my composurefor me to stay seated at the table and not hurlmyself in the bathroom and bring up the contents of the previous dishes. Now the interesting thing is that when I tell that story to a foreigner ,the reaction is always the same : Horror ,sympathy ,shock .When I tell the same story to a Chinese ,they don’t understand my point of view .In fact ,I often think that they believe that there is something truly wrong with me and not with the fact that a lobster had been served live at the table.

Stanley Fields, who wrote “Sad, Sad Cowboy”, which won this year’s Philip’s Prize as the best song of the year, might have had a very different job if his parents had had their way.

In an interview, Fields said, “When I was a child, my father always told me I should put down my guitar and do my homework. He wanted me to go to college and become a teacher as he and his brother were.”

Fields explained that he made a great effort to please his father, but often his love of music became too great and he would steal into a garden behind his house and play his guitar and make up song.

“I made it to Stanton College,” he laughed,“but I took accounting(会计)instead of teaching. And to pay my own way, I played the guitar and sang at a local nightclub.”

While Fieldswas still in his senior year(大学四年级), an executive(总裁)of a record company came into the club as he was singing one of his own songs. The executive liked what he heard and signed the man to a contract(合同).

Since graduating from Stanton College in 1973, Fields has spent his full time writing and singing songs. “My Heartache,”a song he wrote while in college, reached number seventeen in the top twenty hit songs of 1974 and in 1977 his song “Rambling”was the song for the movie of the same name.
