第一节 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I arrived at my mother's home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt（被子） from the boxes, proudly showing their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of on box.. I pulled it out. “What is it?” I asked.

“Oh?” Mon said, “that's Mama's quilt.”

I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.

“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This didn't certainly look like any of the quilts she had made.

“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far.”

I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a -crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with those words “My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all line straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”

“Oh, this is so nice, mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.

41. Why did the author go to her mother's home?

A. To see her mother's quilt B. To help prepare for a show

C. To get together for a family dinner D. To discuss her grandmother's life
