高考真题周周练（16）阅读理解a 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 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 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 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.21. 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 mother22. what can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?

a. he missed the good old days. b. he wanted to tell interesting stories. c. he needed it for his milk bottles. d. he planted flowers in it.b while small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants. the tall persons club great britain (tpcgb), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says. but it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. the average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged. “the bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 66 (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for less than half of the male population,” said tpcgb president phil heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.” similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere. some have already taken note, however. at queens moat houses caledonian hotel in edinburgh, 66 beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly americans.25. what is the purpose of the tpcgb campaign?
