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 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 2000 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.

Barry was used to a fast­paced life and did not like the way his parents lived.“Slow down.”“Watch your step.” These words，in his eyes，mean nothing to a big guy in big cities.He really had benefited a lot since he left his hometown for this city：houses，money and this prize car.For these，he had to work around the clock. While driving，he recalled the days and nights that made what he was now.“Busy hours behind，cozy life ahead.Bug beneath the mud，rocket in the sky.” Being a happy man，he rapped all the way and drove his car fast down the neighborhood street. Everything went quite smoothly at first，but then the road was becoming rougher. “Nothing to worry about，man.” Barry said to himself，speeding down the street. “Watch out！” There seemed a shout somewhere. “I am good！” Barry comforted himself as he always did in such situations. Suddenly，he noticed a figure，who was trying to throw something at him.The next moment，a stone crashed into its back door on the right.Shocked，he pulled up and jumped out，only to find a large dent (凹坑) in his car.A few steps away stood an old man. “What's wrong with you？” Barry shouted at him.“Oh，my car！” “Calm down，young man.” Old man replied. “Calm down? You made that dent in my car！” “Sorry，nothing else I could do.” Old man pointed over Barry's shoulder，“Look！” Barry turned around，and was surprised to find a big hole on the wall of a house a few yards away.“This road is not designed for speeding.The other day，a car rushed into the house，” Old man added，“No one was dead，but the driver of your age was badly hurt.” Staring at the big black hole，Barry broke into a cold sweat. Back to the office，Barry threw himself into his armchair，deep in thought. One possible version： Staring at the big black hole，Barry broke into a cold sweat.He might have run into the house like the badly injured driver had it not for the old man's kind reminder.He thanked the old man millions of times.As they parted，the old man gently squeezed Barry on the shoulder and said softly，“young man，learn to slow down and a host of careless accidents can be avoided.” “Absolutely，I will keep that in mind.” Barry nodded heavily as he turned away. Back to the office，Barry threw himself into his armchair，deep in thought.The old man's words kept ringing by his ear，which he felt made a huge sense.In fact，so quick­paced was he that Barry hardly noticed the No Speeding sign on the roadside，in which case he might have crashed into the same hole and knocked the house down，whose ruins would swallow his car as a whole and bury him alive.At the thought of this，Barry felt the familiar cold sweat returned.“Slow down，” he jotted down the two words on his note sticker and put it up where he could see it easily. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
