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 (佃戶) of hers. They farmed most of their lives. She had ten children, of whom five survived (幸存), her husband died in 1927. Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺繡的) pictures as a hobby (愛好), but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too still (僵直的) to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition, 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 1930’s and her death she produced more than 2,000 pictures, careful and lively pictures of the country life she had know, with a wonderful sense of color and form. 1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

In ancient(古代的) times, rainmakers claimed(聲稱) to be able to bring rain by many methods; dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures (including humans), and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe. More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemicals, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One was so effective that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California that flooded that land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars’ worth of damage. Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who happened to have good luck. Scientific rain making was started in that year by Vincent J. Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory. 1．One rainmaker was almost hanged because ______.
