　　Get ready, China．The world is coming!Every day lots of foreigners come here as business people or tourists．And even more people will come in 2008 for the Beijing Olympics．When they come to China, we should do something to help them enjoy themselves and like China and the Chinese people．But there are some things they may not like：

　　1．Traffic problems　Cars park on sidewalks(人行道)．Bus drivers drive so fast that they make people who are trying to cross the street afraid．

　　2．Queue jumping　At the post office, or even at McDonald’s, people push to the front of a line instead of waiting．

　　3．Bumping　Too many people are crowded onto buses and trains．This makes people feel terrible, and it is not safe, either．On a bus in North America, people try to make themselves smaller and they’ll say“Excuse me”or“Sorry” if they knock into someone．In China, people make themselves bigger with no “Sorry” or “Excuse me”．

　　4．Littering　I notice this everywhere．Some people throw rubbish onto the ground even when there is a rubbish bin(箱)right next to them．

　　Most Chinese people are just as unhappy with these kinds of things as I am．And, certainly, the government(政府)has known the problems and is trying to do something about them．

　　China is on her way!

An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the   16  got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita(薄迦梵歌).
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the book like you   17  I can’t understand it, and I forget it easily. What’s the   18  of reading it?”
The grandfather said, “Take this coal(煤炭) basket down to the   19  and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as his grandfather   20  ,but all the water ran   21  he got home. The grandfather laughed, “You’ll have to move faster next time.”
This time the boy   22  faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was   23  to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, “I just want a basket of water. You’re not   24  hard enough.”
The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the   25  into the river and ran hard. But there wasn’t anything in it again. He said   26  ,“Look, grandpa, it’s useless!”
“Watch the basket.” said the grandfather.
For the first time the boy   27  the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into a   28  one, inside and out.
“Boy, you might not understand or remember   29  when you read the book, but when you read it, you will be   30  ,inside and out. That’s what you got from it.”

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

【小题2】The writer’s mother put the note _____.
