阅读理解Grandmother's culinary advice

My dear

Charlotte,

Thank you so much for the lovely basket of fruit you sent us on our wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe that your grandfather and r have been married f" 60 years. However, we did get a telegram of congratulations from the Queen, so I suppose that we really have been together for all that time.

In your note you asked the secret of a successful marriage. Weil I believe it has a lot to do with our very different attitudes to food. Your granddad likes to have a big breakfast, but I only like a cup of tea and a piece of toast in the morning. He likes to' stop about 12 noon and have glass of beer arid a plate of egg and chips. I find that too filling, and I like to get on with what am doing, so I prefer to have some fruit and some' nuts at midday.

We both like to have our major meal about seven o'clock in the 'evening, but we like very different' things. Your granddad always has some kind of fish for his dinner. He préfers Tornmy Ruffs, the best fish in South Australia, he calls that fish. He also likes kippers, those salty smoked fish that the English and the Scots• introduced in to Australia. He tefi.1SCs to eat any vegetables at all, except for potatoes. He' likes them either, boiled, baked, mashed at made into chips. He always has another glass of beer with this meal.

I have quite different tastes. I like the foods that the other European and ASian Cultures have introduced into Australia. Lasagna from Itaty, Moussaka from Greece, green curry from Thailand and of course, my favorrite, meat and vegetable dumplings from China. Whatever have, always have a salad of green vegetables and two glasses of' wine with-my meal.

Now, am sure that my diet is much more balanced than your granddads. But he says that now at 79 he is going to eat what he likes. Why is this difference conducive to a happy marriage？ Weil we have to buy our food from different shops, cook our food in different ways and borrow different cookery books from the library. So we have a lot of different experiences during the day and a lot to talk about in the evening!

All my

Grand

B、… I heard the soft-voiced Mrs. Flowers and the textured voice of my grandmother merging and melting.

C、The sweet scent of vanilla had met us as she opened the door.

D、I wanted to gobble up the room entire and take it to Bailey, who would help me analyze and enjoy it.

At that moment I noticed the similarity between fish and haiku.

Nowadays, if Mom doesn't ever serve fish for dinner at least the kids get a taste of

haiku at school.

For most of us，our first introduction comes from reading translations from Japanese,

which is a bit like comparing sushi to frozen fish sticks. Even with the knowledge of the

exotic, most poets stick to the meat and potatoes of English literature. It often isn’t until we get older that we accept the simple goodness of fish，adding them to the menu more often.

Having acquired a taste for fish and learned how to cook them, one is better able to

appreciate the short form. of haiku. Like fishing, haiku writing can be done with minimal

equipment. A pin or a pen，and a scrap of paper, is enough，but it is tempting to go all out and buy a rod and reel (even study Zen，visit a monastery or take a trip to Japan).

If one goes in for deep sea fishing,a computer and laser printer are soon on the list of 'must haves'.

Like fishing, to catch haiku you have to go where they are. Unlike fish, haiku are

everywhere. Still，you have to know the secret places where they hide and how to get there.

Wearing old comfortable clothes(usually thought of as a meditative state) we look around

just where we are. It does little good to only read of fishing off the coast of Japan when

sitting beside the lake by our own front door. It does help to know which fish are edible and which are not. There are two ways of finding this out. We can either eat everything we catch and publish what feels right, or we can read books containing others’experiences while making up our minds about what kind of fish to go for.

If we compare spending days on rough seas to fish or strolling on the beach writing

haiku; it is very easy for me to decide where my interest lies. Still I do love a fish dinner and I hope my neighbor enjoys my latest poems.
