My parents taught me not to waste food. My mum always found ways to make leftovers（剩余食物） taste good. I went to YiLan to learn about some of their special food. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don’t waste food, either, and they use leftovers! 

Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha.It  made  with leftovers like

meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good.

Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会).  Another famous dish is called zao bing.

 It’s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn’t want to eat too much.  It has a

lot of fat in it. I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the YiLan area  duck  meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh.   I don’t

usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet. YiLan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again!

　　It is completely unnecessary to take a gift with you when you are invited to dinner in the US, but if you want to do so, it should be a small, __l__ thing. You might bring some sweets, or some small toys for the child, or __2__ from China. Here are some suggestions: A paper cut（剪纸）is a lovely gift (one is fine, not a whole package). If you want to make it __3__ different, buy an inexpensive frame（框子）in the local shop and frame it. Chinese tea is also a wonderful gift. It's true __4__ Chinese tea is available（可取得的）in the United States, but the __5__ that you chose it and brought it with you from China makes it very special. Chinese bookmarks are very wonderful __6__ too, and if you want to buy a set of __7__ paintings which you like, you might give one of them as a gift. One of the nicest things you can do is to cook a Chinese dish and take it with you. Again, however, a gift is not necessary and if you go with a group of students, one small token（象征性的）gift is enough. If you __8__ ten dollars on something, that's an expensive gift for you. But it's not __9__ for most of the Americans we meet. It's good to bring a nice“token” gift that tells the person“__10__,”not a gift that tells him how much money you spent.
