13、aurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who h
14、appened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultura
15、l differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old.

BLinda Evans was my best friendlike the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding. When
