25、epWhen 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 couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a deli
26、very 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,
27、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 out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze.
28、 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, mi
29、lk 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 sons friends will ask what it is. So I start te

B. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother.29. What can be inferred from the
31、fact that the milkman had the key to the boys 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.30. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out o
32、f the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.31. 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. D.In many cultures white is often ass
33、ociated with something positive.A white-collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.White has a clean and pure image.That is why doctors, dentists, and nurses usually wear white uniforms.Babies are dressed in white at baptisms(洗礼)and
34、brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings.White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity.Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good.“Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant to paint over something with white paint to make it look better.However, it m
35、eans something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep.The kings of those days presented a white elepha
36、nt to the people they wanted to ruin.Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it.Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless, and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “
