As she once said of herself： “I would never sit back in a rocking-chair， waiting for someone to help me.”She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven， she married Thomas Moses， the tenant of hers. They farmed most of their lives. She had ten children， of whom five survived； her husband died in 1928.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby， but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition， and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown 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 pictures of the country life she had known， with a wonderful sense of color and form.（ ）51.

I had never before seen a man so tall as he， and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears， of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.Indeed， his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine oclock classes.Upon arriving at the university that day， I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall， and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.He stepped in， remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room， leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a single error， he gave the number of seats in the room， pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls， named the colors each student was wearing， pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard， spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor， and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.As I rejoined Wolfe， I was speechless with surprise. He， on the contrary， was wholly calm as he said， “The worst thing about it is that Ill remember it all.”（ ）55. What is the passage mainly discussing？A. Thomas Wolfes teaching work.B.

Wolfe felt joyful after he had been tested.CThe trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh， so many dishes have stand-ins， just as movie stars do. “When I get my lights and cameras set up， I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing，” explains Ray Webber， who photographs food for magazine advertisements. “Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. A and when Im shooting （拍照） something like tomatoes， I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.”Shooting food outdoors has special problems. “Im always worrying about flies or worms crawling up a glass，” Webber explains， “my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make its color beautiful. Finally he found it： a weed with lovely blue flowers. When the shot appeared， several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade！（ ）59.
