Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking（1） 阅读理解 A 　　We lived in a small Northern Ontario town.I was never bothered by the fact that I grew up in a mostly white community， where I was often the only Asian kid in my class.However， when I decided to move to Vancouver at the age of 18， I had no idea that an identity crisis was awaiting me. 　　In Vancouver， strangers stopped me on the street and spoke to me in Mandarin （普通话）， asking for directions.I gave them an apologetic look， and kept walking， trying to ignore the shame that rushed to my cheeks at the realization that I did not know the language of my native country. 　　Half of my classmates in Vancouver came from Asia and for the first time in my life， I blended in （融入进来）.Except， I didn’t feel a sense of belonging. 　　I was lucky to find friends from China who had also studied at the University of British Columbia.My roommate was particularly helpful.Each time we sat down at a new Chinese restaurant， she translated menu items.The best part was that our conversations about the meal in front of us were like a set of keys that unlocked the doors to learning more about what it was like to grow up in China.I would ask her questions about Chinese culture as she poured more noodles onto my plate. 　　Then， I read Cheuk Kwan’s book， Have You Eaten Yet？.I learned that Chinese cuisine， unlike others， can be found in every corner of the globe， but often， restaurant owners must tweak the recipes of their authentic （地道的） dishes according to their customers’ preferences.As a result， traditional Chinese cuisine has transformed in many ways. 　　I realized that maybe my dining experiences had not been so authentic after all.If Kwan’s statement that “the test for authenticity is one’s ability to call up the memory of a childhood meal” is true， then I may have already lost an opportunity to experience Chinese culture the way that I envisioned.But like the food that has helped me feel a better sense of belonging， who has the authority to define my Chinese identity， other than myself？ 1.What happened to the author after she moved to Vancouver？（　　） A.She made many mistakes in giving strangers directions.
