B

An

unpleasant

smell

floated

into

my

nose

as

the

bowl

of

fried

stinky

tofu

(

臭豆腐

)

settled

onto

my

grandmother

’

s

dinner

table.

I

immediately

sat

back.

The

smell

ruined

my

appetite,

and

I

pushed

the

dish

away.

“

It

’

s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!

”

my grandmother said.

Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm,

soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother

’

s house, I would rush to the kitchen

for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my

favorite dish.

Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never

understood

my

uncle

’

s

condition

of

Down

syndrome

(

唐氏综合征

).

He

was

an

unfriendly

and

terrible

creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within

view, I would run away in fear.

However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed.

I was just getting out of my bed when

I

heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my

face gently, as a mother would stroke (

抚摸

) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How

beautiful his smile

was!

I

could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my

muscles

relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.

My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm

and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle

’

s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I

learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.

Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I

was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of

prejudice (

偏见

). As a result, they judge the disable with one glance.

The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what

makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at

first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.

41. Why did stinky tofu become the author

’

s favorite dish?

A. It was related to family tradition.

B. It turned out to be quite delicious.

C. Grandma encouraged him to try it.

D. His appetite for food had increased.

42. What did the author think of his uncle at first?

A. He was a quiet person.

B. He was an energetic guy.

C. He was an immature man.

D. He was a strange creature.

43. The author

’

s attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when_________.

A. Chan

’

s footsteps woke up the author

B. Chan showed his friendliness to the author

C. Chan displayed his love towards his mother

D. Chan

’

s blank expression made the author smile

44. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author

’

s uncle serves to _______.

A. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan

B. analyze the family relationship

C. describe a childhood memory

D. introduce a traditional Chinese food

45. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?

A. We shouldn

’

t judge by appearance.

B. A person

’

s taste changes over time.

C. Blood is thicker than water.

D. You are what you eat.

C

Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological (

按时间计算的

) age, how old the calendar says you

are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or

health levels.
