It not only satisfies people's physical needs but also reflects the values and customs of a nation. My experience of learning to make sushi with my Japanese neighbor showed me how food can bridge cultural gaps. Before I met Ms. Tanaka, my Japanese neighbor, I had only eaten sushi in restaurants and knew little about its cultural meaning. One afternoon, she invited me to her home to learn how to make sushi. She told me that sushi-making requires patience and precision, which are important values in Japanese culture. While we were preparing the ingredients, Ms. Tanaka shared stories about Japanese food culture. She said that sushi was originally a way to preserve fish, but it has evolved into a symbol of Japanese cuisine. She also explained that the presentation of sushi is as important as its taste, as it shows respect for guests. By the time we finished making sushi, I had learned more than just a cooking skill. I understood that every step of sushi-making carries cultural connotations. This experience made me realize that food is a universal language. No matter where we are from, we can connect with others through sharing food and understanding the culture behind it. Now, I often make sushi with my family and share the cultural stories Ms. Tanaka told me. I believe that such cross-cultural experiences can help eliminate misunderstandings and build mutual respect. 任务一：根据短文内容选择正确答案 1. What did the writer learn from Ms. Tanaka? ( ) A.
