  The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning.Just lately he has been arriving before I get up.Workforce shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier.

  Delivering milk to people’s homes is hardly good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road.In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as great as a few years ago.There are enough men prepared to make an early morning start for the sake of an open air job with a fair measure of freedom.If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self service stores.Dairies(乳品业)know that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales.

  Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase business.One dairyman said, “It won’t be long before the milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though variety will be limited only by the size of the trucks.

  So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade.Flavored(有味道的)milk is popular on the Continent.In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring.Even the returnable bottle continues to be used.As long as it has a reasonable life-30 to 40 trips are usual-the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile.

(1)

The milkmen now start earlier on their delivery rounds than before because ________.

[  ]

A.

there is an increasing demand for milk delivery

B.

they hope to reach the customers’ homes in time

C.

they have to collect the money for the week’s milk house to house

D.

dairies are short of delivery men and the companies worry about falling sales

(2)

Why are there enough men prepared to make an early morning start?

[  ]

A.

Because they can enjoy a certain amount of freedom in the fresh air.

B.

Because they like working outdoors and breathe the air freely.

C.

Because they can enjoy a great amount of freedom outdoors.

D.

Because they like walking freely in the fresh air.

(3)

According to the passage, in this decade ________.

[  ]

A.

milkmen will disappear very soon

B.

flavored milk will become popular in Britain

C.

people will buy milk from self service stores

D.

there will be little change in the dairy business

(4)

It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.

the British people seldom buy plain milk

B.

the returnable bottles are no longer used

C.

collection and cleaning of the returnable bottles cost nothing

D.

the returnable bottles won’t be thrown away until they are used dozens of times

  “You know,”he was saying,“it’s imagination people lack.You’ll never get   6   as a shoeshine boy.”

  I kept brushing away at his shoes as   7   as I could.The sooner I finished the better.He said,“When I was sixteen, I had   8   $2500 of my own.”

  The policeman was at the window when I cried out,“Officer Dailey,   15  !This man’s a robber.”

  “  16  ,” the man shouted angrily.He started to jump off the stand.It didn’t go the   17   he planned.He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.

  “That was pretty   18   of you,” the officer said.“You’ll get a reward of $7500 for him.”

  “Well, it really wasn’t my   19  ,” I said.“It was his.He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something   20   on a shoestring.”
