　　Roast (烧烤) is very famous in Brazil (巴西). Customers (顾客) just sit, waiting for waiters to send them all kinds of meat. If you like, you take one; if you don't, the waiters pass you. If you don't give any messages (信息) of stopping sending, they will go on.

　　One day when I was in Brazil, I went to a restaurant to try the roast. After I took my seat, the waiter gave me a sign (牌子) with the colour “red” on one side and “green” on the other. I said “thank you”, then the waiters began to serve me. My plate was already full, but the waiters still kept on serving me more. I thought I had to eat more quickly. But to my surprise, the waiters still kept on serving more. Then a waiter found out the reason. He helped me turn the sign over, with red outside. When I finished, I found the waiter didn't serve me, just passed me. If I didn' t call them, they didn't take a look at me. Do you know why? It's just like the traffic lights in the street. How wonderful!

My mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to         the passengers(乘客).1 was included. After getting on the bus, I looked for a place to sit. At last, I found a seat near the back.

    The passenger of the         next to the one I was going for was an old man in a grey suit. Seated myself, I began to read the book I had been carrying which was Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I        any other book like the one I was holding. When I told him I had, he seemed to become        and so did I. He said he was Carl. And asked if I like jazz(爵士乐),and l told him that I didn't really listen to it and that I like rock and roll. Waiting for Carl to tell me that I          listen to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, "You          me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz, how they couldn't see how I could listen to that terrible noise. I bet your parents say the same thing, don't they?" Now it was my        to smile and nod.

    As the bus took 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          the two of us really had in common, although we had the        difference. I haven't seen him         we parted, but the thought of our relationship that day never leaves my mind.
