题目内容

I remember a time l went shopping on my first visit to Hung Kong.Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin(白皙皮肤),my legs were very white.In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all.Most women spend every sunny day out in the suit trying to get darker skin.The darker the shin,the better the look.I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!

    As I walked around one shop,two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly to each other in Chinese.I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave.After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong.I complained(抱怨)about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs.I was embarrassed(尴尬) that they were talking about my white skin.My friend laughed,“They weren’t laughing at you.They were saying how nice your legs are.Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact,there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”

    It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have.The grass is always greener on the other sideIf the women of the West and East thought the same way,western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

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.

    Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.

    There was also 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 in the house, 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.

I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore.

Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk.

1.The milkman delivered milk to family _____ in the old days.

A. by car               B. by bike          C. on foot          D. by truck

2.The writer’s mother put the note _____.

A. into the bottles                         B. into the milk box

C. in the kitchen                               D. in front of the door

3.The writer brought back home an old milk box because he _____.

A. missed the good old days

B. wanted to tell funny stories

C. needed it for his milk bottle   

D. wanted to give it to the milkman
