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
cou
ldn’t
take
my
eyes
off
the
coin
changer
自动换币器
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 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
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 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.
56. Mr.
Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin
changer ________.
A. to show his
magical power
C. to satisfy
his curiosity
B. to pay for the delivery
D. to please his mother
57.
What can be inferred
from the fact that the milkman had the key to the
boy’s 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.

A. Nobody wants to be a

B. It has been

interesting stories.
C. He missed it
for his milk bottles.
