When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering(递送) 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 (自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a coin out of his changer. Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese and other milk products. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write on a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and put it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear. All of this was about more than convenience(方便). There was 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, as a result, 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 time my son’s friends ask what it is, I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk. 1. Why did Mr. Basille give the boy a coin out of his changer? A. To show his magical power. B. To satisfy the boy’s curiosity（好奇心） C. To pay for the milk. D. To win the family’s trust (信任). 2.What can be inferred (推断) 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 powerful person. C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family. 3.Why is there no home milk delivery today? A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. The government has stopped it by law. C. It has been driven out of the market. D. Its service is becoming worse and worse. 4.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 used it to beautify the back porch.

Cities and towns in 35 countries took part. The year 2012 saw 6,950 towns and cities in more than 152 countries took part in Earth Hour movement. Last year 7,000 towns and cities in more than 154 countries took part in Earth Hour. This year, WWF is calling for people across the world to take part in Earth Hour 2014 – the biggest switch-off in history. For the eighth year, people are being asked to turn off their lights for one hour to call attention to the issue of climate change. The WWF’s organizers say climate change is one of the greatest threats(威胁) facing wildlife and nature. They also say when it comes to save energy and money, big changes start with small steps like turning out the lights. Earth Hour supporter Jamie Oliver has some great ideas of his own for helping the environment: “We can all make simple changes to help, like always choosing higher-welfare(规模化养殖的) meat, and even trying to have a couple of meat-free days a week. More little steps, such as taking a shower instead of a bath, leaving the car behind and walking to work, not leaving electrical appliances on standby（备用的） and so on are the beginning of a low carbon lifestyle and a healthier world. This year, Earth Hour is asking people to take the movement “beyond the hour”. Earth Hour is a call to stand up and get involved. We hope everyone will join us in turning off for a brighter future. 1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. The first Earth Hour movement B. History of Earth Hour and its tasks. C. Earth Hour has changed our lives. D. Everyone can make a difference. 2.Which of the following is Wrong? A. The first Earth Hour started in 2007 in Australia. B. This year people are expected to turn off their lights for over one hour. C. For seven years , Earth Hour calls for action on climate change. D. 7,000 towns and cities in over 154 countries took part in Earth Hour 2013. 3. According to the passage, all the following are small steps we can take Except_____. A. Turning off our lights in Earth Hour. B. Taking a bath instead of a shower C. Going to work on foot instead of by car D. Choosing higher-welfare meat 4.The best title of the passage is_________________. A. Climate Change: the greatest threat B. WWF: a global charity C. Earth Hour: small steps big difference. D. Climate Action: a global call
