①Julia and her husband Roy had no children. The husband got a job as an American diplomat (外交官) living in France so they moved to Paris one day. They often went to the local restaurants to enjoy the food. She got to know that she should have a hobby that she really loved to spend her free time.

②Roy gave Julia a cookbook about French food as a gift on her 37th birthday. To read the cookbook, she learned from a French teacher. Before long, she found that it was even difficult for her husband who spoke French fluently to read the cookbook, not to mention cooking in the kitchen. Julia searched for cookbooks on French food in English in all libraries in Paris but failed. She then went to a cooking school.

③On her first class, seeing other cooks do the cooking skillfully, she was frustrated thought she went to it confidently, for she even could not cut onions quickly. The teacher carefully explained how to cut food and Julia kept practising cutting at home day after day. She became outstanding and made her first French dish—Omelet (煎蛋卷). She got familiar with many French dishes after a year’s hard work. Then Julia decided that she would cook French dishes as a lifelong job. Her cooking schoolfellow asked her to set up a cooking school and she nodded without thinking twice.

④ A year later, Julia started to write a cookbook in English and sent it to her best friend Laura in America. Laura shared the book with an editor. The editor felt amazed and promised that the book would come out soon. However, Julia and her husband had to move to Marseilles, then to Germany and then Norway because of the need of Roy’s work. The publication (出版) of the book had to be put off.

⑤Nine years later, Julia and her husband moved back to America. On one relaxing afternoon, Julia received a cookbook named the Cooking Art of French Cuisine which changed thousands of people’s eating habits.

⑥Though Julia was in her fifties then, her fascinating life just started.
