kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties.
She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into
the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Oh?" Mom said, "That"s Mama"s quilt."
I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish
pictures, a crooked line on the right.
"Grandmother made this?" I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly
didn"t look like any of the quilts she had made.
"Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," she said.
"I"m still working on it. See, this is what I"ve done so far."
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched
(缝) a piece of cloth with these words:"My mother made many quilts. She didn"t get all lines straight. But I
think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt."
"Ooh, this is so nice, Mom," I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother"s quilt, my
mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with
the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.
B. To help prepare for a show.

"Hey, look!" exclaimed Rahim. "Those two men are 2 heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do
muscle labour in this technological 3 ."
"You do not 4 a crane to unload less than a dozen rocks, do you? " smiled Joshua.
"But those men do not 5 to have muscles at all ," said michacl,rather surprised,joshua smiled.
"They are 6 laborers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they 7 . See how the man
positions the rock just at the slope of his 8 . Some of the rock"s weight is set 9 his head, some on the
right hand and some on the left hand. His body isn"t bent. His legs are well 10 ."
"You"re right, Josh. He may have a small build. 11 he certainly well knows his job. Dear me! And to
think we have been studying 12 !" Rahim thought about all that was happening. Suddenly, he said,
"Technology won"t 13 the human being completely, it appears."

"One day, perhaps, there won"t be anybody 18 who can carry a large rock the way those men do. It"s
not going to be a very 19 world, I"m afraid." Sighed Michael.
