As she once said to herself: “I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me.”No one could have had a more active old age.She was born on a farm in New York State,one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived;her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited(展览) in the Museum of Modern Art,and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death,she produced some 2,000 pictures:careful and lively portrayalsof the country life she had known for so long,with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty,and then I paint it” she said.24. What does Para 2 mainly talk about?A. Moses and her children. B. Moses and her childhood.C. An introduction to Moses life. D. An introduction to Moses marriage.25.

Grandma Moses and Her PicturesB. Grandma Moses: A Woman Pioneer of 20thcenturyC. Grandma Moses and Her ExhibitionD. Grandma Moses:The Best Painter of 20thcenturyCIn Antarctica(南极), when spring comes, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.In the brightly world, the large grey head of a Weddell seal (威德尔海豹) appears through a crack (裂缝) in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals(哺乳动物), and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the iceshe is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the seal gives birth to a baby. The baby is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The baby drinks its mothers milk and grows quickly. With a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seals skin is thick layer of fat called blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.When the baby seal is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the baby seal learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mothers help, the baby seal soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the young seal is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When it becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.28.

But for 20 years, he has remained devoted(忠实的) to Franks. “Franks the man,” he said of Frank Arroyo, the owner. “I dont care where he is in the city Ill go.”Mr. Michiels doesnt have to worry about Mr. Arroyos relocating(搬迁). The shop has stayed on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for 40 years.After Mr. Michiels left, Marvin Priess arrived. A professor of chemistry and math, Mr. Priess wheeled in the Ross 18-speed he had bought at Franks in 1978 and still rides today, at age 68.

He has been in the bike business since age 14. Born and raised on the Lower East Side, he has employed and taught many young people in the neighborhood. He is also willing to repair bikes in any condition, as well as his neighbors walkers and wheelchairs.English Epps, a lawyer, needed a new seat; his had been stolen. “Ive been coming here since I was in the third grade,” he said, adding: “Theres a new bike shop on Delancey Street, but everybody comes here.”32.
