If you believe that only grandmas enjoy crocheting (钩编) you will be surprised to know that even an 11-year-old boy loves it too! His name is Jonah Larson. He has become famous for his amazing creations.
Jonah Larson, from the US, took up crocheting when he was just five years old. He learned basic crocheting knowledge from the Internet, and soon began making all kinds of hats, bags, blankets and table runners—just anything he could think of.
The 11-year-old boy now crochets around five hours a day. He says it takes him less than an hour to make a hat and around six hours to make a full Afghan throw (针织软毛毯). “Some people who have crocheted their whole lives can’t come close to where he is now,” said his mother Jennifer. The little artist donated (捐献) some of his designs (设计). He also sells some of his products on the Internet and has made around $5,000 over the years.
However, Jonah’s life didn’t start out as happy as it is now. He was born in Ethiopia and was abandoned (遗弃) in a wooded area by his birth mother. A passer-by brought him into a children’s home, where he was adopted by the Larsons. Jonah said he was lucky to become a family member. And he often donates some of his goods and money to children in his home country.
For Jonah, crocheting is only a relaxing hobby. He is now taking the ninth grade algebra (代数) and is already looking towards the future. “I’m planning to attend West Point, and then become a surgeon (外科医生),” he said.
31. Jonah Larson took up crocheting when he was just ________ years old.
A. five B. six C. eleven D. twelve
32. Where was Jonah born
