    For a period of month some time ago I became a vegetarian(素食者). Some people won't eat meat because they think it is 1to animals, or they care about their health. My reason is a little 2 : it is love.

    I simply wanted to remember my grandmother by not eating meat. My grandmother spent a large part of her life as a vegetarian, and some of my happiest childhood memories in Thailand were about sharing a 3 with her.

    In fact, as a child, I learned how to value food not from dishes my mother often cooked, 4from the simple dinner, my grandmother prepared. Often, dinner with Grandma would come with interesting stories she had known from her childhood.

    Grandma passed away more than ten years ago. Now I am an adult living in San Francisco, and Grandma's vegetarian suppers and 5 have become a past.

    But one morning, I suddenly thought that I could 6 hear the sound of my grandmother's voice because she had left me forever. So I decided to become a vegetarian for a month.

    In a city famous for its dining experience, this was 7. I 8 several dinner panics for fear of offending(冒犯) the hosts. I stopped walking by 9 where the smell of good cooking would be in the air. My best friend wondered if there was something wrong with me.

    Now, I 10 her way. I invited friends who wanted to taste vegetarian food. And as we ate, I told them stories I had known as a child.

    Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman. He always dreamed of becoming 1, and so did his wife.

    One day, while he was sitting on the boat, he 2 felt that the fishing rod was being weighed down by a 3 object.

    He excitedly 4 hard at it and what he saw made him cry. "Wow! A big 5gold chain!" He tried to get the gold chain into the boat, but there seemed to be no 6 to it. His boat started to get over-loaded and the sea water filled his boat. It was really 7. However, he had begun dreaming of a big home, a big piece of land and buying many horses and cows. He kept pulling the chain 8 the boat kept sinking. The boat finally went under the surface of the sea and he tried to swim. 9, his feet were trapped (陷入) in the gold chain and at last he 10 in the sea.

    In fact, there are many people like the fisherman in our life. They always want to get the fortune (财富) 11 hard work. The truth is that desire (欲望) is 12. Only through hard work can we achieve our dreams and live a better life. You may 13 at times and others will think you are crazy at times. But if you 14 that you can succeed, you finally will. Always remember that the bright future can only be created by 15.
