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 out 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.56. 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 being curious. d. to please his mother.57. what can be inferred from the 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.58. 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.59. 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. bif you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you dont have to be like everyone elseyou can be differenti cant give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life1do lesscut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each dayfocus not on quantity but on qualitypick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first2have fewer meetingsmeetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rushtry to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you dont have to rush from one meeting to another3give yourself time to get ready and get thereif youre constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, its because you dont allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for travelingfill your schedule to allow time for this stuffif you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you dont have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car4practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothingwhen people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortabletry standing in a line and just watching and listening to people around youit takes practice, but after a while, youll do it with a smile5realize that if it doesnt get done, thats oktheres always tomorrowand yes, i know thats a frustrating(令人感到挫败的) attitude for some of you who dont like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but its also realitythe world likely wont end if you dont get that task done todayyour boss might get mad, but the company wont collapse and the life

were told by the author, we cant change anything63the underlined word collapse has the similar meaning to _adevelop rapidly bpay enough cdrop suddenly dfail completely conce dr. mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students . the case at hand was a guatemalan man , aged 34 , who had a fever and many other medical problems . his condition was not improving , and there was not much hope he would live .dr. mellinkoff asked to see the patient . he introduced himself in spanish and , in a very gentle voice , asked how he felt . the patient smiled and said everything was all right . then the doctor asked if he was able to eat . the patient said that he had no desire to eat .“ are you getting food you like ? ”the patient said nothing .“ do you get the kind of food you have at home ? ”the answer was no .the doctor put his hand on the mans shoulder and his voice was very soft .“ if , you had food that you liked , would you eat it ? ”“ yes , yes . ” the patient said .the change in the patients appearance couldnt have been more obvious . nothing was said , but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received .later , the doctor asked why the guatemalan man wasnt getting food he could eat . one of the students said , “ we all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals . ”“ suppose , ” the doctor replied , “ you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didnt carry it , would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request ? ”“ i would probably insist , ” the student said .“ very well , ” the doctor said . “ you might want to try the same method in the kitchen . it wont be easy , but i can help you . meanwhile , lets get some food inside this man as fast as possible , and stay with it . or hell be killed by hunger . by the way , there must be someone among you who can speak spanish . if we want to make real progress , we need to be able to talk with him . ”three weeks later , dr. mellinkoff told me that the guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power . it takes more than medicine to help sick people ; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable .64. the patient had no desire to eat because _ .a. he was not hungryb. he was seriously illc. he was given special mealsd. he was not satisfied with the food65. according to the passage , we can conclude that _ .a. the patient was from another country .b. the patients illness was caused by hungerc. dr. mellinkoff performed an operation on the patientd. the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient66. which of the following words can be used to describe dr. mellinkoff ? a. cold.b. considerate(体贴的). c. curious. d. confident.67. what do you think dr. mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case ?a. doctors should be able to speak foreign languages .b. doctors should know their patients real problems .c. doctors should try to improve their medical skills .d. doctors should give more medicine to patients .dby far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work . this difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study . many students muddle along , doing a bit of this subject or that , as the mood takes them , or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment .few students work to a set timetable . they say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it , or would have to change it frequently , since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be .no doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others . there are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable , and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work . many able students state that they work in cycles . when they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time . on other days they avoid work completely . it has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation
