(A)

The Life-changing Antique Navajo Blanket

A California man and his family went from rags to riches after discovering that the blanket given to him by his grandmother was worth a small fortune. Loren Krylzer was living in a small hut and barely getting by on his disability payments. One day, he happened to be watching Antiques Roadshow on TV when he learned that the forgotten old blanket in his closet might be valuable. The Krytzer family heirloom (传家宝) turned out to be an antique (古老的) Navajo weaving from the 19th century that fetched US$1.5 million at auction (拍卖会).

Krytzer's blanket was prized for much more than its antiquity. Among Native American tribes the Navajo are recognized as the most skillful weavers of blankets and rugs. The weaving style is characterized by vivid, varied patterns and exceptional durability. From shearing the sheep, spinning, preparing, and dyeing the wool to the actual weaving process, it takes around 345 hours to create one blanket.

Women traditionally wove Navajo blankets while men built the weaving devices. To this day, Navajo people still make high quality blankets and rugs to sell. They believe that, since only God is perfect, their creations should have some imperfection.

Another Navajo belief is that their souls are sewn into every weaving, so they intentionally include a hidden loose thread into each piece. This ensures that it isn't too perfect, and their souls can still escape into the afterlife.

The Krylzers also had a loose thread on their road to riches that allowed them to escape the trap of financial ruin. In an unfortunate twist, the family's life-changing windfall (意外之财) came with a huge tax bill from the government and a lot of imploring relatives. After taking a family vacation in Mexico, buying a new sports car and a couple of real estate purchases, Krytzer lost his disability payments and now gets big bills for property taxes and insurance instead. Ironically, the family decided to relocate to a less expensive state to save money. 56. How did the Krytzer family go from rags to riches? A. A family member purchased a winning lottery ticket. B. Loren was invited to have an interview on a TV show. C. Loren’s disability payments were unexpectedly increased. D. Loren auctioned off a blanket his grandmother gave him.

57. A loose thread woven in a Navajo blanket indicates that ________. A. God’s creation is also imperfect B. people can exit from horrible situations C. its owner is sure to have an everlasting life D. the blanket is really made by hand

58. Why did the family finally decide to move to another state? A. To reduce the cost of living. B. To be hidden from their relatives. C. To change for a better environment. D. To apply for disability payments again.
