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．

If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh．There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible（灵活的）and who have good knowledge of social science．

There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions．For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses．Studies show that social science majors are most suited to change, which is the leading feature（特点） of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in．

Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily．A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates．The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies．Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are．It is probably due to these skills that have been offered a wide variety of positions．

Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job．recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study．
