How about “We had a great dinner last night with our family”? Or, maybe this one: “I spent the weekend baking cakes with my grandmother”?Wherever there is food, it seems families are not far behind. The dining table has always been a symbol of good times and even better company, so its only natural that some of the best moments of our lives are shared over a hot pot or around a baked dinner.Countless similarities exist between preparing food and planning ones life, and the lesson we must learn is that there is no such thing as instant success. Proof Is in the Pudding! makes these similarities easier to see by exploring the right ingredients for a happy life, and a perfect pudding.Many of us have had the miserable experience of a rainy weekend at home. Likewise, many of us have had boredom turned into entertainment by cooking with a few family members. In Angel Food Flop (失败) we learn, flop or not, its having fun that matters.Food is a treat for the senses. And a taste, like a smell, is capable of conjuring up vivid memories of the past. Proust explores the relationship between taste and memory in Remembrance of Things Past. Be careful one tiny crumb (碎屑) can result in hours of reminiscing(缅怀).Food plays such an important part in everyones life because it is tightly linked to our memories, our friends and our family. It gives our body energy in more ways than we will ever know. There is no other way to say it; food really is the heart of life.74. What Jasmine Heiler said suggests that _. A. food is the important and necessary part in our life B. we should share food with strangers C. the dining table can make strangers become good friends D. if you want to make friends, you must eat with strangers75. How does the author feel when he tells about sharing food with family
