Recently I was invited to a friends house for supper and had a meal Id never had before!All the friends 51were a little surprised.

The next course was also a little 58 in that we didnt quite know what it was again. “Its just another mixture of vegetables.”59we ate, we chatted and finally the 60turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe（食谱） for this,” asked Mary, “or did you make it up?” Ben put his 61down. What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Mary was 62. “But you can find anything in the supermarkets these days.” “But there is less choice in what you can find 63the supermarkets,” he replied.64that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the 65. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 66away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins.

Chinese Students Receive Training at Arctic Station BMy mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to pick up the daily commuters (someone who travels regularly to and from work), a group in which I was included. Boarding the bus, I looked for a place to sit. At last, I found a place near the back. The man in the seat next to the one I was going for was an older man in a grey suit, well-worn dress shoes, and a black hat like I always pictured reporters wearing, but without the little press card. Seated, I began to read the book I had been carrying, which was Jack Kerouacs On the Road. The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I had read any other book like the one I was holding. When I told him I had, he seemed to become interested, and so did I. He introduced himself as Carl and asked if I liked jazz, and I told him that I didnt really listen to it, and that I liked rock and roll. Waiting for Carl to tell me that I should listen to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, “You remind me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz, how they couldnt see how I could listen to that awful noise. I bet your parents say the same thing, dont they?” Now it was my turn to smile, amused with how right he was.As the bus carried us from one side of the city to the other, Carl and I talked about a lot of different things. The more we talked, the more amazed I became at how much the two of us really had in common, despite the age difference. I havent seen him since we parted, but the thought of our connection that day rarely leaves my mind.Carl really made me think about how much we can learn from each other if we just break through the blocks between us weve got. I mean, I would have never thought before that day that I could have anything in common with someone so much older than I, just because of age. But Carl taught me that no matter what, we are all just people, and that we should make an extra effort to try and get to know our neighbors and people we see every day, regardless of age, race, religion, sex, or anything else. If we all take the time to attempt to understand each other, I think that the world would be a much better place that we could share together, as humans.74.

Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids,” and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid.”Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewher
