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 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 noteplease add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. and then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) 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 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 sons 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 deliveryc. to satisfy his curiosity d. to please his mother2. what can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?a. he

lines of communication in a business, or even open peoples mind to another culture or race. people in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. for example, most american storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. they regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own. most local stories are based on a larger theme, american storyteller opalanga pugh says, cinderella (灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world. working with students in schools, pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. she works with prisoner too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. if they dont like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. for every advance in business, she says, there is a greater need for communication. storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says. pugh spent several years in nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. the benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says. i learned how people used stories to spread their culture, she says, what i do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. we are all storytellers. we all have a story to tell. we

technology (影像工程学) to show that people who say they feel the pain of others have heightened activity in pain- sensing brain regions(区域) when they see someone else being hurt. for the study, the researchers exposed 108 college students to images（图像） of painful situations, ranging from athletes suffering sports injuries to patients receiving an injection. nearly a third said that, for at least one image, they not only had an emotional reaction, but also felt pain in the same site as the injury in the image.the researchers found that while viewing the painful images, both people who said they felt pain and those who did not showed activity in the emotional centers of the brain. but those who felt pain showed greater activity in pain-related brain regions compared with the others.“patients with functional pain experience pain in the absence of an obvious disease or injury to explain their pain. this confirms that at least some people have an actual physical reaction when observing others being injured or expressing pain,” dr. stuart derbyshire of the university of birmingham, one of the researchers, told reporters.he noted that the people reported feeling pain also tended to say that they avoided horror movies and disturbing images on the news so as to avoid being in pain.the findings were published in the december issue of the journal pain.9. the
