    When I was a child,everyone I knew celebrated festivals in the same way: in the family home with all kinds of sweets and delicious vegetables made according to recipes guarded by a grandmother.Days,often weeks,were spent in cutting,chopping,boiling,frying and storing them to be shared with every neighbor and relative within reach.

   My childhood was spent in Nainital,then a small,sleepy town high up in the Himalayan foothills and we lived actually on top of a hill. So I wonder,who makes those sweets and vegetables now?

   I now package these memories as popular bedtime stories to tell my wide-eyed grandchildren. And they are bestsellers: I just finish one,and then they beg another. Since my grandchildren live abroad,additional information has to be provided to serve as cultural footnotes.

   As I recycle my memories,I realize that what has also disappeared with the day-long kitchen work is the special flavor (XP?) of slow-cooked food. In the early 1960s,our food was often cooked overnight to be ready for the morning meal. This was also the secret of the melt-in-the-mouth Awadhi dum-pukht food cooked overnight.

   If you tiy overnight cooking in a modem kitchen,thea/arw (火警的警铃) will frighten your neighbors out of their beds at night. I tried making pamí/?íiy (印度煎饼) for my granddaughter in a Los Angeles kitchen at night. Just as she was waiting for her next one,the fire alarm sounded so hard.

   Somehow,our warmest memories are always those that are related to food. I have never forgotten the taste of my grandmother's wonderful dal(木豆) . Even today,when I am unable to sleep at night,I think of the taste of that delicious dal.

   B. it was made in the kitchen 

    C. it was guarded by her mother

4. What happened while the author was making parathas for her granddaughter?

    People often talk about jobs. But when I tell others what I do for a living,they can hardly believe this job exiyis (存在) . But I'm not joking. I spend my days at work eating chocolate!I taste chocolate to make sure that people can get excellent chocolate from our factory.

    Every week I receive chocolate from our factory. I have to check (经验) it for taste and smell.I also have to taste raw maienals (原材料) we usually use. I spend days choosing the most suitable (合适的) ones to go into the chocolate.

    Just beside my office I have a kitchen. I test and taste chocolate I make there. My kitchen is full of machines. It's wonderful to work there during the day.

    No two days are the same in this job. Sometimes I am in the kitchen. Sometimes I’m out of the country buying the raw materials we need and because I have a young family,that can be difficult. But I love this job. I like to live a different life every day. The question is that many people ask me whether I get bored of chocolate,I’ve never felt I didn't want to eat it. In fact,I’11 often go home and eat some more in the morning!
