Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to    36   about the fat body of a(n)    37  I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was    38  a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that    39  when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.
I informed the    40  of my problem and I did not expect him to    41  and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!
In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times    42  and this is the first time I have been    43 . And I do not feel we should have been    44  for this meal, so I would ask you to    45  the cost. I await your reply.
Yours faithfully, 
Mr. John Smith

“Indeed”George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly,or bug,had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug.When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the Enlish were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to be the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burlar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install(安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversations.Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant “to cheat”,and since the 1994s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw n a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Tomas Edison.In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of stdy and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering′a bug′ in his invented record player.”
