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
13、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 th
14、en, 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 wouldnt fre
15、eze. 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
16、, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside.

B Many years ago my student asked me the question, Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach? Without taking time to reflect, I answered, Because someday I might say something that might mak
21、e a difference in someones life. Even though I was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt let it slide. Let me get this straight, he said, You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will
22、 influence someone? He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. Im one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those da
23、ys, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: Its in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990.

25、learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isnt for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.31. Why di

Fish and other wildlife seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast in a trend that some researchers see
40、 as a potentially troubling sign. The animals presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run out of oxygen.
