Knitting
My mother knew how to knit, but she never taught me. She assumed, as did many women of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter. A combination of feminism, consumerism and household gadgetry made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now obsolete. My grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my mother and me~ of red wool. They were the ones we wore under our ice skates, when it was really important to have warm feet.
Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just siting is no longer time wasted.
I love breathing life into the patterns. It’s true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared old book with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same Germantown knitting worsted my grandmother used, in the exact blue to match my daughter’s eyes, taking it on the brain with me every day for two months, working feverishly to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends.
Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there Will be a reward and take out the stitches between and start over again.
People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could not pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important this is an activity 1 keep separate from such considerations. I knit to recover my children and other people I live in warmth and color. I knit to give them earthly that money could never buy.
Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the time train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.
选项
A、The struggle of women for equal fights.
B、The belief that it is good to buy and use a lot of goods.

答案
C
解析
该题问“下列哪项不能解释为什么‘编织不再值得从母亲传给女儿了’?”我们可以先看看备选答案,这是因为这个问题较接近生活,所以可以直接借助常识进行推理判断。A说“妇女们为了平等权利的抗争”,B说“相信购买和使用大量产品有益处”,C说“编织中所体现出的简朴”,D说“家用设施的引进”。从常识判断C是正确的。如果借助原文,不难在第1段的第2句中发现答案相关句。但该句并没直接说明问题句所问的理由,于是看接下的一句,该句说“在女权主义、消费主义,以及家用小玩意儿的共同作用F,许多妇女认为这种简朴的产品已经过时。”依据此也可判断C是正确的答案o
