一天，媽媽打電話給我，要我參加爸爸的生日宴。我弟弟文森特將帶上他的女友莉薩·盧姆。我也可以帶一個朋友去。NHCE自測技巧Para.3我知道媽媽會親自下廚的，因為燒菜做飯是表達她的愛、她的自豪和她在家中權力的方式，也可用以證明她比其他任何人都懂得多?！扒f記住在飯后告訴我媽媽，說她做的飯菜是你吃過的飯菜中最可口的，”我對里奇說,“相信我的話?！?/p>

返回NHCE自測技巧Para.4a爸爸生日宴的前夜，我坐在廚房里看著媽媽忙乎，等待合適的時機來告訴她我們的結婚計劃。我們已決定在明年7月結婚，大約還有7個月的時間。她正在把大蒜切成小方塊，把卷心菜切成小片，同時閑聊著有關素媛姨媽的事：返回NHCE自測技巧Para.4b“她只會看著烹飪指南燒菜,而我對烹飪了如指掌。我只要用鼻子聞聞就知道該放什么佐料了!”她切得很快，好像一點也不注意她手中那把鋒利的切菜刀，我真害怕她的手指尖也會成為紫色蔬菜燒豬肉的佐料。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.5我希望她會先提起里奇。我注意到了她開門時的面部表情,她當時勉強地笑了笑，從頭到腳地打量著里奇，以驗證素媛阿姨對里奇的評價。我盡力設想她會有哪些不滿意的地方。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.6a里奇不僅不是華人，而且他還比我小幾歲。更糟的是，由于他那頭紅色的鬈發(fā)、光潔白晰的皮膚以及鼻子兩邊一片桔黃色的雀斑,他看上去比我年輕了很多。他稍微矮了一點，長得很結實。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.6b他身穿深色套裝，看上去討人喜歡，但讓人過眼就忘，就像追悼會上遇見的某個人的侄子。這就是為什么我們在公司里一起工作的第一年里我沒有注意到他的原因。但是我媽媽卻把一切都看在了眼里。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.7“你認為里奇怎么樣?”終于，我屏住呼吸問道。Para.8她把大蒜扔進了燒熱的油鍋里，發(fā)出了刺耳的響聲?！八樕夏敲炊喟唿c，”她說。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.9

我聽后感到背上起了雞皮疙瘩?！澳鞘侨赴?，你知道雀斑象征著好運。”我感到我得為他辯解。我提高嗓門壓倒廚房里的噪聲，我自己也感到我太激動了點。Para.10“哦，是嗎?”她不經意地說。Para.11“是的，雀斑越多越好。人人都知道這一點?！狈祷豊HCE自測技巧Para.12她想了一會兒,然后笑了,接著用漢語方言說：“也許是這樣。你小時候得過水痘。長了許多小痘痘，你只好在家里呆了10天?？烧孀哌\啊，你想想!”

Para.13我在廚房里救不了里奇，后來在餐桌上我也救不了他。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.14他買了瓶法國葡萄酒，并不知道我父母不喜歡這玩意兒，我父母甚至連像樣的紅酒杯也沒有。接著他又犯了個錯誤：他喝了不是一杯，而是滿滿兩大毛玻璃杯的葡萄酒，而其他人的杯子里都只有半英寸高的酒，大家只是“嘗嘗而已”。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.15最糟糕的是他批評了我媽媽的烹飪手藝，而他竟然沒意識到自己做了什么。我媽媽總是要對她自己的烹飪發(fā)表一些評論，說一些自己的菜燒得不好之類的話，這是中國廚師的習慣。那晚她原打算說說自己的拿手菜——梅干菜蒸肉，上這個菜時她總是特別得意。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.16“唉，這個菜不夠咸，沒味道，”嘗了一小口后，她抱怨道?！疤y吃了。”Para.17這句話在我們家意味著讓大家來嘗一點，并且還要說這道菜是媽媽做得最好的一次。但是我們還沒能來得及說一些這樣圓滑得體的話，里奇就說：“嗯，這菜只需要加一點點醬油?！苯又麩o視我母親吃驚的眼光，把許多這種咸乎乎、黑溜溜的東西倒進了瓷盤里。返回NHCE自測技巧Para.18雖然吃飯時，我一直希望我媽媽能從某種角度看到里奇的善良、幽默感和魅力，但是我清楚里奇在她的眼里已經是一敗涂地了。Para.19很顯然，里奇對那晚有完全不同的看法。那晚我們回到家里，安置肖莎娜上床睡覺后，他謙虛地說：“嗯，我覺得我們相處得很不錯。”返回comeupwith:findorproduce(ananswer,asolution,etc.)找到，想出(答案、解決方法)
