The line was slowly moving forward until（12）　 　 it was my turn.The cafeteria worker passed me my plate and I looked down.I barely（13）　 　 anything.All I did was sit there，confused.They called this "Chinese" lunch，so why had I never（14）　 　it before？Those first few bites，I realized later，were my（15）　 　 to Chinese﹣Canadian cuisine.
