When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States ,

Grandma Moses should be mentioned，although she did not start painting until she

was in her late seventies. 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 1930's and her death ，she produced some

2,000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of 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．

4. What does Para 2 mainly talk about?

A. Grandma Moses and Her Pictures．

B. Grandma Moses and Her Family.

C. Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition．

D. Grandma Moses：The Best Painter of 20th century

On one occasion, while visiting my parents, I happened to meet the little boy who

lived next door. It was obvious that his mother had told him not to come over

uninvited. He was standing on the very edge of his yard with an anxious look on his

face, seemingly about to burst.

My father waved him over and performed the introductions. “Eliot, this is my

son, Gary. Gary, meet my little friend, Eliot.” To my delight, he reached out his small

hand and I accepted the formality(遵守礼节) with a smile.

Unlike most children, this teenager was not shy of meeting a stranger. As a matter

of fact, he turned out to be quite a chatterbox. Eliot had me laughing as I listened to

the excitement in his voice for, as you know, it was a big deal to find a toad (蟾蜍)!

His descriptions were priceless as I asked the obvious questions concerning the

capture( 捕捉 ). He was pleased that I showed interest in his adventure and gladly

explained its details.

Since Eliot seemed so willing to invest in our budding friendship, I asked him a

question, “Do you like banjo music?” He got very excited and answered me with a

hearty “Yes!”

I took out my banjo from the car, but when I sat next to him and started playing,

Eliot looked at me with a puzzled expression. He asked me “What’s that?” in all

seriousness.

My dad and I smiled. The boy who just “loved” the banjo didn’t recognize that I

was holding one and that what I was playing was “banjo music”.
