頼侘野腎
I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America��
It is said, "The best house is in the USA, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China��" So I took 1 and pleasure to 2 "the best food" for my American family. Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I performed (燕處)my play in 3 way, changing the dishes' colour, the meat's type or the soup's style (欠龍). Thus, my American friends could discover the 4 of eating Chinese food�� Because of my " 5 " job, I was often rewarded (襲潜) by their 6 of appreciation (湖爾) such as "very tasty", "excellent", etc��
But the joke was here: yesterday, I cooked Sichuan style 7 for dinner. I was 8 at my achievement (撹祥).
When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked 9 at the fish, then looked at me. "Why do all the fish have their 10 ��" they asked, "It's horrible !"
Horrible or beautiful? I don't know. But I 11 know that fish heads are delicious. The 12 is the best part of fish; in 13 only the respectable (鞭彰嶷議)guest can have the special 14 of enjoying it.
Another 15 thing is: the American friends often said to me " 16 " as they 17 fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition (勧由),I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 18 actually helping myself to any of the food�� 19 ,l 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 20 hesitated (嗅團) to use their hands to "help themselves"until all was finished��

Mr Smith is well-known in Washington because of his many social blunders (stupid mistakes). Recently he received an invitation 1 a dinner party. Although he did not know the hostess, he 2 the invitation.
At dinner, he was 3 beside a woman full of dignity��恊冢��. The woman tried to be 4 even though she had never met Mr Smith before. She spoke 5 , whenever he spoke to her. Between the first and the second
6 of the meal, she turned to Mr Smith and said,^Do you 7 that gray-haired man at the end of the table? The one 8 glasses. ̄
^Ah, yes. Who is he? ̄ asked Smith.
^He's the Secretary of the Interior! ̄ she replied.
Mr Smith said, ^So 9 is the Secretary of the Interior! I'm afraid that I find very little to 10 about him, although he is the Secretary. ̄
The woman sat still and did not reply. Smith continued in spite of her 11 .^I really can't see how he received his 12 , unless he is perhaps a relative of the President. ̄
^It hardly 13 whether you like the Secretary or not, ̄ she said. ^He was 14 because the President thought he was the man for the 15 . If he does the job well, you should have no complaint�┗г坑�. ̄
^That's just it, ̄ said Smith.^No one 16 the things he does, unless he is a complete 17 ! ̄
^Sir! ̄ said the woman in all her 18 . ^Do you know who I am? ̄
^No, ̄ replied Smith.
^I am the Secretary's wife, ̄ she said coldly.
Mr Smith was 19 , but he went on in spite of his embarrassment�╂Ь州�,^Madam, do you know who I am? ̄
^No, I don't, ̄ the woman replied.
^ 20 ! ̄ cried Mr Smith, as he quickly left the table.
