2 . Family values are principles that help to define us as human beings. These values are learned, usually passed down     1     one generation to another. However, they can also change over time,     2     (depend) upon the circumstances in which families find themselves. They shape the way we behave, they help families stick together, and they give us our identity.

We always admire a person     3     treats the elderly with respect, or helps people in need, or is always honest with others. Such     4     (admire) behavior is usually a direct result of the values that person was taught by his family.

These values or principles—respect, fairness and     5     (honest) among many others—also help hold the family together in times of trouble. When problems arise, the family is able to withstand them because they share     6     same idea about

    7     is important. When family members feel pressure from the outside world, they know they can come into their family for a comforting connection.

Finally, family values make us who we are.     8     we talk about our personal character and what     9     (influence) our decisions, we do so based on the values

    10     (give) to us by our family.

3 . 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 (农村的) and urban areas within one country.
Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) 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 cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.
Food 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 (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) 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.
