　完形填空　

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 (表演)my play in 3 way, changing the dishes' colour, the meat's type or the soup's style (風(fēng)味). Thus, my American friends could discover the 4 of eating Chinese food． Because of my " 5 " job, I was often rewarded (獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)) by their 6 of appreciation (感激) 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 (成就).

　　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 (受敬重的)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 (傳統(tǒng)),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 (猶豫) to use their hands to "help themselves"until all was finished．
