Ⅰ.阅读理解

When Caster Pettway, 67, was a girl, there were always quilts (被子) around.They were on the beds and sofas in her house.Sometimes，her mother would hang a quilt outside to show it off to the neighbors.She always seemed to be making a new one.“And everybody in every house did the same thing，” Pettway says.

Pettway grew up in the 1960s in Gee's Bend, Alabama, a tiny community on the Alabama River.Now, it is seen as the birthplace of an important art form.

Women in Gee's Bend took up quilting sometime in the 1800s.They made quilts out of necessity: They needed them to keep warm.They didn't have proper fabric (织物), so they cut up old clothing and sewed the pieces together.They didn't use designs seen in traditional quilts.They cut their fabric into large, often irregular (不规则的) shapes.Their large, beautiful quilts were unlike any others in the world.

In 1998, art collector William Arnett saw a photo of a Gee's Bend quilt.He was so impressed

that he visited the town and bought the quilt.He returned again and again.In 2002, Arnett showed these quilts in museums around the country.They took the art world by storm.Many experts compared the Gee's Bend quilts to paintings by European artists.A writer for the New York Times called the quilts “some of the most wonderful works of modern art America has produced”．

Today, locals are making sure that quilting improves their lives.In February, Gee's Bend quilters began selling their work online for the first time.Leaders are promoting (宣传) the town as a tourist town.This has encouraged the next generation (代) to carry on the tradition.Pettway says some of her young family members have taken up quilting.“And I'll tell you what，” she says.“They're getting pretty good.”
