Few people would even think of beginning a career at the age of 76, but one American most famous artist did just that. Anna Mary Robertson , better known as “ Grannma Moses”, turned to painting because she could no longer take an active part in the running of her farm. As she searched for something to do, she discovered painting --- an activity she had loved as a child.
Grandma Moses painted in primitive style, and her works are simple and basic--- almost childlike in their composition, she first painted only for her own pleasure, and then began to sell her works for small sums.
In 1939, an art collector named Louis Caldor chanced to see several of Grandma Moses’s works hanging in a store. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more, Cald held a show to introduce the works if Grandma Moses to the art world.

(B)
If you want your land to keep fertile, you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or winds. Ways have been found to stop soil erosion, and this is known as soil conservation. One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grasses. These plants are referred to as cover crops, whose roots hold the soil tightly together. The rain water can not wash away the soil. When the trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field, soil erosion by strong winds can not take place. The trees and bushes, which act as a very big and firm wall, protect the open land from the winds. The way to stop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside. When the slope of a hillside is cut into steps, water carrying soil can not run straight down the terraces, which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it. In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
What takes places in soil erosion?
A. Flood happens to the fertile land.
B. A large quantity of the earth wears away gradually
C. Terraces are built on the slope of hillside or mountainside.
D. Plants are grown to protect the open land.
2. “Cover crops” in this passage means
A. grass roots C. plant life of an area
B. trees and bushes D. covering plants that produce grain or vegetables.
3. Besides afforestation, another method to fight against soil erosion is to
A. build terraces C. build walls
B. plant trees D. plant tall bushes
4. Trees and tall bushes are planted around an open field
A. because their roots hold soil tightly
B. to stop soil from being blown away by winds
C. because soil erosion causes terrible damage to crops
D. to stop soil from being carried away by water
5. Why can terraces prevent soil erosion？
A. Because water carrying soil cannot run straight down the terrace.
B. Because terraces can stop the water carrying soil from running away
C. Because most of the soil in the water remains on the terraces
D. both A and C
