It is just past five o’clock on the Chinese New Year’s Eve, and the dinner table     1     (cover) with white china plates and bowls, full of all sorts of dishes: chicken, duck, pork, fish and vegetables. Luo Yan, 29, lifts the cover of a large bowl     2     (breathe) in the rich smell of the soup his wife and mother have prepared. Luo Yan’s son, Bofeng,     3    (happy) takes a bite of the chicken his grandfather has selected for him.
