26、When milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

【1】Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.

A．to show his magical power.

B．to pay for the delivery

C．to satisfy his curiosity.

D．to please his mother.

【2】What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?

A．He wanted to have tea there.

B．He was a respectable person.

C．He was treated as a family member.

D．He was fully trusted by the family.

【3】Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

B．It has been driven out of the market.

C．Its service is getting poor.

D．It is forbidden by law.

【4】Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

A．He missed the good old days.

B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.

C．He missed it for his milk bottles.

D．He planted flowers in it.

28、   Randy Kraus was disabled. His left side was useless. He'd been a police officer before, and he was strong and able. Now, he felt he could do nothing.

His trouble started with Parkinson's disease, but it didn't end there. In July, 2002, the 60-year-old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation on his brain to control the shaking. But during the operation，he had a stroke. He was paralyzed. The doctor said, “You may never walk again and you might not even be able to talk.”

Kraus found that he couldn't lift a fork or take a drink by himself. Physical treatment was so painful and slow. What did he have to live for? So Kraus held the gun against his head. Feeling the cold metal on his skin, he began to consider the pain he would cause for his wife, daughters and grandchildren. He didn't pull the trigger (扳机)．

Andrew Garud, his exercise physiologist, told him, “You are where you are. The pace would be slow；the pain would be real. But as long as you are alive, you will have the ability to get better.”

After three months of working with Garud, Kraus wanted to see if he could stand.

He could. Then he took three steps, sat down and cried like a baby.

One step, as they say, led to another. Next he managed a short walk along the edge of a boxing ring (拳击台) in the health club. It was the hardest fight of Kraus's life. People at the gym cheered him on. Garud kept saying he could do more. Now, Kraus can brush his teeth，shave himself and get around the house with a walker. Only the disabled can fully understand little success.

【1】According to the passage，we can learn that ________.

A．the stroke during the operation on his brain led to Kraus' disability

B．Kraus' operation in 2002 was performed by Andrew Garud

C．doing exercise can help cure Parkinson's disease

D．Kraus will lead a normal life as a healthy person in the future

【2】According to the fourth paragraph, what did Andrew Garud mean?

A．Everyone in the world has the right to be alive.

B．It's necessary for people to do exercise to keep healthy.

C．One should try to lead a better life.

D．As long as a person is alive, he will have a chance to be better.

【3】What personality does Kraus probably have?

A．Optimism.

B．Strong mindedness.

C．Sympathy.

D．Generosity.

29、Four most beautiful villages in Italy

Alberobello

Set in the area of Puglia, close to the coastal town of Bari, this village is famous for its beautiful trulli, which are conical roof structures made without any mortar. The large amount of trulli makes Alberobello truly unique. You can even stay in one of these houses when visiting the village.

Menaggio

Set in the province of Como, right on the western shore of Lake Como, the area is frequently visited for its Menaggio and Cadenabbia Golf Club founded in 1907. This beautiful village still keeps its old attractiveness, with beautiful surroundings that could be enjoyed from one of the many waterfront balconies.

Matera

Matera is in the area of Basilicata. Known as the city of stones, Matera is one of the most ancient and unique towns in the world, having some of the earliest examples of houses carved in the rock. It’s more a village than a town though, and there are churches in the caves found here. In the surrounding Apulia area, you can also find other medieval churches like the Matera Cathedral or the San Pietro Caveoso.

Portofino

The harbor village of Portofino, set in the province of Genoa, offers access to several cozy beaches nearby, which is why this medieval village has been transformed into a pretty vacation site.

30、On a cold afternoon in January 2015, Yesenia Diosdado, 11, got off a school bus in Lenexa, Kansas, near the apartment building where she lives with her family.

She ran over to the paramedic (护理人员) to _________— her mother, a former sign language interpreter, had _________ her and her sisters how to _________ (no one in the family is hearing-impaired).

Yesenia was able to __________ to the emergency worker that the woman’s neck was injured and tell them the name of the local hospital she preferred. “She looked really __________,” says Yesenia. “I’m proud that I got to do something to help.”

When her mother, Susan Milidore, 36, heard about Yesenia’s brave actions, she wasn’t surprised. “It’s in her __________ to help,” says Susan. “I was impressed that she recognized the __________ of the situation and took charge. Most adults wouldn’t have done that.”

A few weeks later, paramedics __________ Yesenia with a gold coin and a certificate (证书) of appreciation at her elementary school.
