My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body. Through the years I would   21   what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   22   was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy”. She said, “No. Many people are   23  . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Several years passed   24   she asked me again. Since making my first   25  , I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her， “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are   26   fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”

   27   the years, Mother asked me a couple more   28   and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting   29   every year, my child.” Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was crying when it was our   30   to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. Mom asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”

I was   31   when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a   32   between her and me. She saw the   33   on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really   34   your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your   35  .” I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?” She replied, “No, it is   36   on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough   37   and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry   38   when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a   39   one. It is sympathetic to the pain of   40  .

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．
