                                               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 5yearold 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 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.
    1. 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 mother
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    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 needed it for his milk bottles.
    D. He planted flowers in it.

         About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.Instead,
    they receive their elementary (初等) and high school education by working at home on computers.The
    Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public "cyberschools", and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
         The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they
    live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They
    also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
         Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed.These
    people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say
    learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
         Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular.For example, a new
    cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall.It will serve
    children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
         Children get free equipment for their online education.This includes a computer, a printer, books and
    technical services.Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their
    computers when necessary.
         Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another.But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time.They were guests of honor at
    their graduation.
    1. What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
    A. They have to take long bus rides to school.
    B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.
    C. They receive money from traditional public schools.
    D. They do well in traditional school programs.
    2. What is a problem with cyberschools?
    A. Their equipment costs a lot of money.
    B. They get little support from the state government.
    C. It is hard to know students' progress in learning.
    D. The students find it hard to make friends.
    3. Cyberschools are getting popular because ________.
    A. they are less expensive for students
    B. their students can work at their own speed
    C. their graduates are more successful in society
    D. they serve students in a wider age range
    4. We can infer that the author of the text is ________.
    A. unprejudiced in his description of cyberschools
    B. excited about the future of cyberschools
    C. doubtful about the quality of cyberschools
    D. disappointed at the development of cyberschools
