（山西省山大附中2010届高三12月月考）

Chinese people think a lot about food．In fact，I think that they are sometimes obsessed(痴迷) with it．My first experience of this   16   of Chinese culture came at a banquet during a trip to Beijing in 1998．I had eaten Chinese food often，but I could not have  17  how fabulous(丰盛的)a real Chinese banquet could be．The first six or seven dishes seemed to  18  the table, with plates dangerously   19  one on top of another．I thought this vast    20  of food was the total number of dishes to be served，and I started eating    21  ．Everyone else just   22  a bit of each dish and then put their chopsticks down，continuing to chat．“They can't have very big appetites,” I thought．

To my surprise，more dishes   23  ，plus soups，side dishes，and desserts．There was enough to feed a whole army．No   24  my fellow guests had had only a few  25  of each dish；they knew what was still to come．But I was already so   26  that I could only    27  as the banquet continued．

Another aspect of“food culture”is that the Chinese seem to eat almost every part of every animal——much to the    28   of many westerners．Stomach，ears，tongue，tail，hoof and lungs are all likely to   29   on the dinner table in front of you．The first time I saw a three-year-old kid  30   chewing a chicken's head I had bad dreams for weeks．

These days I enjoy that sort of food myself． 31  ，there are other kinds of foods that have taken longer for me to  32  ．The infamous(臭名昭著的) choudoufu is a(n)   33  ．(The name says it all：“stinky tofu”．) Just when I got used to it,  I found another  34  on a trip to Hunan：deep-fried choudoufu，a horrible black substance that looked and    35  about as appetizing as a burnt tennis shoe．Maybe I'll get used to that, too—some day．

Food is stronger than language. Growing up in Canada, my first __1__ was Cantonese but, as I entered school, my parents switched over to speaking English, __2__ me to this day with a dicey (不确定的)command of the dialect. But more than that, living in Canada and now Beijing means I don't have to __3__ with my original language.

We are what we eat, not only in terms that __5__ our bodies but culturally. __6__ can be embarrassing. What 9-year-old doesn't remember the schoolyard teasing she got when she opened up her lunch bag __7__ to find a special treat from the "motherland" (heard in the USA: "Eew! You got a chicken's foot?" Heard in China: "Waah! You got peanut butter AND jelly?"). And as every fifth-grader knows, food can make you __8__ in the crowd or be a part of it.

Even for the third and fourth generations, they may not __9__ the mother tongue of their ancestors but they __10___ with their heritage through their traditions; traditions that centre around family gatherings and food.

We __11___ American Thanksgiving the other day and as__12__, had a roast turkey the size of a sturdy(健壮的) bulldog, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts and pumpkin pie. But being Chinese, we __13__ the traditional bread stuffing with rice because, as everybody knows, you ___14__ going into diabetic shock if you don't have rice every four hours or at least that's what my mother always told me when I asked __15__ we couldn't have pizza for dinner.
