29、e show was The Price is Right. We would call our answer along with the contestants. Laughter filled the tiny but warm house. When I got older and started going to school, we couldnt watch our game shows together regularly. That was okay with me, though, because one thing I liked better than watching
30、 game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she walked around the kitchen, busy but delighted. she never seemed to need the recipes(食谱) and everything she made tasted delicious. At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch. Even though I

The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure Later my parents decided that I could take
32、care of myself and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself,and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes.More often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call
33、 my grandmother for advice and she would always give lots of useful advice patiently. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too.I felt like I could talk to her about anything. My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made f
34、or me in her bedroom. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice and see her smile.

37、simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didnt talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past. A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and
38、I were young artistsvery young artistsin fact. Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend. Millet wasnt any greater than we were at that time. He didnt have any fame （名气） , even in his own village. We were all poor though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in E
39、urope painted. Once a person ever offered four francs（法郎）for Millets “Angelus”, which he wanted to sell for eight. It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be well-known until after he was starved （挨饿） and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death. Then we made
40、a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself. Millet was elected（推选）elected to die. During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, no! sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his
41、 cipher on them. They were the things to be sold. Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millets name. Claude and I went to sell Millets small pictures and to build up his name as well. We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Mil
42、lets at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies his pictures cant be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could.

43、nt, and America, and everywhere. The sad end came at last, Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan. The pictures went up. Theres a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two
44、 hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would surprise you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.
