mr. lee anytime around the neighborhood, so i just stood there. after we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, you let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. that sentence sounds simple but it made me become who i am.at work, i used to say hello

of us, foods like tofu, sushi and even green tea are now familiar and can be found easily out of japan. as a national cuisine(烹饪), thanks to many social as well as political changes, japanese food has greatly developed over the past few centuries. in ancient times, when much of the traditional cuisine was influenced by korean and chinese cultures, japanese cuisine slowly changed with the start of the medieval(中世纪的)period, which brought along with it new tastes.with the coming of the modern age, a great many changes took place and the japanese cuisine was influenced greatly by western culture. however, the traditional japanese food of today is still very like what existed toward the end of the 19th century. this would mean that a large part of the japanese cuisine includes those foods whose cooking methods and ingredients(原料)have been introduced from other cultures, but which have since then been experimented with and developed by the japanese themselves.the thing about japanese food is that you either will love it or will completely look down upon it. with traditional japanese food, there is no such thing as an in-between. however, chances are that if you hate japanese food, then you probably havent even tasted real japanese food or you simply havent given yourself the chance to like it. unlike other cuisines, japanese food is not something that you will appreciate after having only a bite. like wines and cigars, japanese food needs time to be liked.41. after reading the whole passage, we learn that this passage mainly .a. advises us to eat healthy food is so healthyb. explains why japanese food is so healthyc. introduces some famous traditional japanese foodd. tells us something about traditional japanese food42. what does the writer mean by saying “fortunately for most of us”?a. that most people know how to prepare tofu and sushi themselves.b. that most traditional japanese food can be enjoyed everywhere.c. that we can enjoy some traditional japanese food out of japan.d. that japanese food like tofu, sushi and even green tea is not strange to us.43. what can we learn from the passage?a. japanese food changed most during the medieval period.b. japanese food has been greatly influenced by other cultures.c. the traditional japanese food of today tastes totally different from that in the past.d. korean food is also one of the healthiest foods in the world.44. the last paragraph suggests that .a. healthy food usually doesnt taste goodb. not everyone likes japanese foodc. some people are crazy about japanese foodd. its very easy to tell whether the food is real japanese food or not45. in the writers opinion, japanese food .a. is not as good as people thinkb. sometimes tastes really terriblec. is worth tasting a second timed. tastes as good as chinese foodcwhen my family moved to america from a small village in guangdong, china, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. one of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the united states. i had a part-time job as a waiter in a chinese restaurant. one time, when i was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. i told her that i had made sure they got their food quickly because i always respect the elderly. as soon as i said that, her face showed great displeasure. my manager, who happened to hear what i said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. i then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. after the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. in my village in china, people are proud of being old. not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.however, in the united states, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. when i told the couple in the restaurant that i respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. i had told them something they didnt want to hear. after that, i changed the way i had been with older people. it is not that i dont respect them any more; i still respect them, but now i dont show my feelings through words. 46jack brought the couple their food very fast because_.athe manager asked him to do so bhe respected the elderlycthe couple wanted him to do so dhe wanted more pay47when jack called

the table and apologized to the couple.dfrom this experience, jack learned more about american culture.dmy parents influenced us with the concepts of family, faith and love for ones motherland when l

center gave dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m. to pick up rubbish. dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mowermom and i emptied rubbish cans and picked up rubbish by handit took two to three hours to clean the lotid s1eep in the car on the way home. i did this for two years, but the lessons i learned have lasted

these jobs and in everything else ive done, i have never forgotten those nights in the parking lotthe experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide

it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that i can only hope to pass on to someone else someday. on a saturday afternoon, a friend and i were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old ladys house. i found a smooth rock and sent it. the stone headed straight for a small window on the old ladys back door. at the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old ladys yard. i was too scared about getting caught that first night. however, a few days later when i was sure that i hadnt been discovered, i started to feel guilty for her misfortune. i decided to save
