Mr. Jones woke early one morning， before the sun had risen. It was a beautiful morning， _31_ he went to the window and looked out. He was _32_ to see a neatly-dressed and mid-aged professor， who _33_ in the university just up the road from Mr. Jones‘ house， coming the direction of the town. He had grey hair thick glasses， and was _34 an umbrella， a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr. Jones thought that he must have _35_ by the night train _36_ taking a taxi.

Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden， and the children had tied a long _37_ to one of the branches， so that they could swing on it.

Mr. Jones saw the professor _38_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was _39_ in sight， he stepped into the garden (there was no fence)， put his umbrella， newspaper， bag and hat nearly on the grass and _40_ the rope. He pulled it _41_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight， then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _42_ on the end of the rope， his grey hair blowing all around _43_. _44_ he swung， sometimes taking a few more _45_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing _46_ slowly for him.

_47_ the professor stopped， straightened his tie， combed his hair carefully， put on his hat， _48_ his umbrella， newspaper and bag， and continued _49_ his way to the university， looking as _50_ and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

A

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States， yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies. 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 of hers. They farmed most of their lives. She had ten children， of whom five survived; her husband died in 1928.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby， but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition， and 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 some 2，000 pictures： careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known， with a wonderful sense of color and form.
