I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．It is said that “The best house is in the U.S.A．， the best wife is in Japan and the best food is in China．”So I took 36 and pleasure to 37 “the best food” for my American family．Each day，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed my play in 38 way：changing the dishes’colour，the meat’s type or the soup’s style．Thus，my American friends could discover the 39 of eating Chinese food． Because of my“ 40 ” job，I was often rewarded by their 41 of appreciation , such as “very tasty”，“excellent”etc．But the joke was here： yesterday， I cooked Sichuan－style 42 for dinner．I was 43 at my achievement．When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked 44 at the fish，then looked at me． “Why do all the fish have their 45 ？” they asked，“It’s horrible！” Horrible or beautiful？ I don’t know． But I 46 know that fish heads are delicious. The 47 is the best part of fish； in 48 only the respectable guest can have the special 49 of enjoying it． Another 50 thing is：the American friends often said to me“ 51 ”as they 52 fruits or other things． According to Chinese tradition，I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 53 actually helping myself to any of the food. 54 ，I 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 55 hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished．

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 26 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 27 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 28 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 29 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 30 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 32 her. I was 33 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 34 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 35 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 36 , but it’s really there. Love is 37 .”

After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 41 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 42 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 43 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 45 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
