My interest in cooking started when I was 11,...

My interest in cooking started when I was 11, partly thanks to my mother. She didn’t really like cooking and when she did cook, I didn’t like her food. Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.

During a year, I had produced most of its recipes (食谱) and was ready for a bigger challenge (挑战). I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family. To my joy, my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen. I did much cooking to test my dishes in it and my skill improved quickly. Later, my mom and I set up a dinner club that organized monthly events inside my home. Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country. I am not doing it for the money, but because I love cooking.

Now I know that when you stop caring whether you’ll be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.

1.The writer is now ________.

A.a TV star B.a news reporter

I`m Mary. I liked doing chores when I was young. My mother started teaching us to cook when we were five or six because my father was at home for only two days a month, so my mother had to do everything. She had to grow rice, feed the dog and the children and cook for us. When we were five or six years old, we all began to help mum do the housework. My eldest sister Lora helped our mother reap the crops on the farm, my second eldest sister Daisy did the washing, and I cooked for the family. When my sister finished their work, they both came to help me. I can still remember the tears in my mother`s eyes when she saw the first dishes we cooked. When I was seven, I went to school. But I decided to come home every day and cook for the family because I know it`s my duty to share the housework with my mother.

One day, my three-year-old granddaughter Emily fell from her bike when I was cooking in the kitchen. I ran to help her get up. When she saw the blood (血) on her knees, she started to cry. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort (安慰) as I carried her into the house.

With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment (药膏) on her knees. I kissed her and asked, “All better now, sweetie?”

“No, Grandma. You must say the Mommy words,” she said. I didn’t know what she meant. Then she added, “You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me feel better.” Emily took a deep breath (呼吸) and started to recite (吟诵), “A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love ...”

My mind raced and I remembered. They were the same words that I had recited to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the love of her mother and the Mommy words. Hearing them now, I understood that although I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers — we were close at heart.

“Grandma, I am all better,” Emily said after she finished reciting. We kissed and hugged, and recited the Mommy words together.
