My parents taught me not to waste food．My mom always found ways to make leftovers （剩余食物） taste good．I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special foods．As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area．I learned that they don’t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!

    Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone．People learned to cook and eat almost everything．They had to think of ways to make special dishes．One of these dishes is kao zha．It’s made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat．That might not sound very good, but it does taste good．Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets （宴會(huì)）．

    Another famous dish is called zao bing．It’s made with fruit, meat and other things．I really liked it! But I didn’t want to eat too much．It has a lot of fat in it．

    I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area_─duck meat．The duck meat is put in a big oven （爐子） to cook it．Smoke keeps the meat fresh．I don’t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet．

Ilan is a great place with delicious food．I hope I can come back again!

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them．But you get really angry every time you think of them．If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness （痛苦）．

Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive （原諒） someone who has hurt us or made us angry．Someone might say or do something that hurts us．But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside．Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow．We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing （指責(zé)） him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves．

Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members．No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long．

If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it．

l    Accept it

Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it．See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it．

l    Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right to be angry．You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong．You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad．But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person．The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life．

l    Forgive and forget it

You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind．But you can decide to forgive the other person．Forget it and move on．You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind．
