As a kid, I often suffered from nosebleeds. My parents had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and they said this was caused by my love for 71 fruits. Lychees, my favorite, had given me “too much heat”, 72 it didn’t stop me from eating them by the dozens. After we moved from China to Canada, lychees became 73 to find.

The strong, sweet scent made my whole kitchen smell nice for days. It was such a rare smell that I’d rather believe it was picked from a food scientist’s imagination than accept that this fruit just happened to 77 in some people’s backyards.
I try most fruits, only a couple of times because I always love newer things. But there is one I keep 78 to: the soursop. When it is ripe, it tastes wonderful—it’s hard to describe, somewhat like a combination of orange, banana, pineapple, strawberry and papaya. Wait just one more day, though, and it starts to brown, giving off a(an) 79 smell. This rapid decaying (腐烂的) process is only another 80 that time and tide wait for no man. So don’t let our sweetest days go to waste. “Taste” the joys around us as they come along.
