Several years ago I ___ a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always ___ by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and ___ was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really ___ person.

What made it almost ___ to deal with was that the day before the ___, Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her ___ of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to ____. It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became ____ her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to ____ everything so harshly(刻薄).

Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat and when and how we eat them--are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural and urban areas within one country.
Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cakes were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.
Foods also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies success in the New Year for the person who receives it.
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.
Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.
