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 couldn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 panies allowed the production of
cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to pete. 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 son’s 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.

The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and
services to the attention of hout history, advertising has been all effective way
to promote (促进) the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed
“town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was

By the end of the seventeenth century , when newspapers were beginning to be read by

The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to
campaign (发起运动) 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 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the
standard 6′3″ bed caters for (满足需要) less than half of the male (男性) 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, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller
visitors, particularly Americans.
28. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?
A. To provide better services. B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D. To attract more people to bee its members.
29. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?
A. 7′2″. B. 7′ . C. 6′6″ . D. 6′3″.
30. What may happen to restaurants with small tables?
A. They may lose some customers. B. They may start businesses elsewhere.
C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.
