阅读理解 A mom's job is never truly finished — Elise knew this when her son was born. For at least the hundredth time, she sat next to his bed in that chair mending his quilt (被子), which was one from a flea (跳蚤) market selling cheap goods, and telling the stories. To call it a quilt stretched the definition as it was nothing more than a thousand pieces of oddly shaped cloth together, layer after layer, until the whole of it was thick enough to hold in the warmth of a small boy's body as he drifted off to sleep. "I love how cool it feels when I first get into bed," her little man observed the first night he wrapped himself in the old quilt. "But before long, it warms up, and I'm snug as a bug in a rug. It's very comfortable and relaxing. Where did you get it?" The question for stories was one whose answer was too simple to interest on a wide eyed little boy, so Elise stretched the truth of the quilt. "It was brought over on the Mayflower by the Pilgrims (朝圣者) to America," she answered to her son's delight. "It's made from pieces of fabric from all over Europe and is the first blanket used by the first Americans." It was just a hard history of the family. Elise sat by his bed and mended the "heirloom" (传家宝). Then she would continue the "true" story of how the quilt had found its way to her son. "During the Revolutionary War, your quilt was captured by General Cornwallis and used to keep his legs warm on the cold winter nights." Elise said, weaving a story as complicated as the blanket itself. "George Washington took it from Cornwallis and used it during his eight years as president." "You mean my blanket has been to the White House?" "Of course it has," Elise answered with a wink (睁眼). "Who then, Mom?" The little boy asked, "Who took my blanket to the White House?" "That's a story for Tater," Elise replied, kissing her son on his forehead. "Now you get some sleep, and I'll continue the story next time. I'll tell you more about your great great grandfather's story and the treasures he had passed on us." （1） What did the mother do? A . Telling jokes B . Selling goods. C . Mending quilt. D .
