My mom，Elsa, is only four feet ten, but she has a great personality. I learned everything about cooking __1　 　her. She’s also a great businesswoman. Once she ran nine __2　 　at the same time just by herself. __3　 　she talked to her employees, she’d stand on a box. Thus she could look them straight in the eye and __4__ connect with them.

These days I work in my mom’s restaurant. Of course, we quarrel with __5__ other sometimes, but I think it’s __6　 　to be open and honest and let things out. Since God has given us all kinds of senses, we should each have our own ___7　　 　and, of course, we can’t always __8　 　with others’ opinions.

One day a woman __9 _ Vicky was helping me prepare caponata for a cooking class. “You forgot sugar and vinegar(醋),” Vicky pointed out. “They’re ingredients in most caponata recipes(食谱). ”

I explained to her, “In my family, we don’t __10　 　sugar and vinegar to our caponata. ”

She argued，“We do in my family, and our caponata is very good. ”

“Yeah? Well, __11　 　is great!” I shouted back。

Back and forth we went __12　 　we both burst into tears. What are you doing? I asked myself. You became so angry __13　 　because of a recipe! Then I hugged Vicky closely and she hugged me right back. We’ve been best __14　 　ever since.

Be real. Make connections with people. Look them in the eye. Tell them how you feel. Don’t be afraid to say __15 　you mean. When you let go of the feelings you hold inside, you’ll be amazed at what comes back to you.
