Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.

All the friends invited were a little 36 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable , or a bad cook , but it’s just that he never 37 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 38 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dinning room where a 39 table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the 40 for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 41 at each other—what did he 42 to?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a 43 of carrots , potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 44 was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just 45 mixture of vegetables.

As we ate we chatted and finally the 46 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe（食谱）for this,” asked Marina ,“or did you 47 it up?”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 48 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s 49 choice in what you can find 50 supermarkets.” He replies.

51 that we had all finished the food , Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 52 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 53 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.

So Ben had 54 provided a decent(不错的) meal for his friends , and made us away of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food , but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 55 millions of people.

As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.

The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.

The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.

56. “Every dog has its day.” means “_______”.

A. Everybody in the world is lucky. B. Each person lives his own way of life.

C. If one works hard, he’
