(2026·六安一模)The Tan family, from Hunan, was new to the block and Mrs. Tan
loved to cook. Her family enjoyed her stinky tofu(臭豆腐), so she cooked it twice a week.
One day, they heard a knock. It was from the community workers. They had received a complaint(投诉) from the Tans' neighbors, the Lees, about the smell of the stinky tofu.
Mrs. Tan said sorry and decided that she would close the kitchen window the next time. That was what she did the following week. However, the community worker came to them again for the same problem.
“I have closed the kitchen WINDOWS!” she said in anger. “Actually I can’t stand the Lees’ habit of eating durians(榴莲). The smell of the durians is too strong for us!”
The community worker then decided to call for a meeting. At the beginning, both Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Lee had a scowl on their faces. They didn’t even look at each other. The community worker explained the disagreement. He suggested that the Tans eat stinky tofu twice a month. Similarly, the Lees should try to eat durians once every two weeks. Mrs. Tan agreed and even invited Mrs. Lee to taste her stinky tofu.
After a month, the community worker met up with both families to see if there was any progress. Mrs. Lee was full of praise, “Your tofu tastes so good! Shall I bring some durians for you? You might love them!” “Perhaps,” said Mrs. Tan politely. From then on, they learned to accept their likes and dislikes.
