He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin c

16、hanger 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”-

17、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 outs

18、ide that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt 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

19、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, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊） . Every so often my sons friends w

24、t back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our ret

25、irement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream. In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me I was just 84 and i

26、n pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it. O

27、n June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to

28、the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into ” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a

29、 minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞） , then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it. Skydiving was really one of the greatest experie

30、nces of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. If theres something you want to experience, look into it. If its something that is possible, make it happen. 【小题 1】 What happened to the author in 2001 A. She flew an airplan

The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by g

34、etting everyone to read the same book at the same time. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求 ) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The id

35、ea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起 ) the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities,

36、 and even to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor(市长 ) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mocking bird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents a

37、nd children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities

38、 or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured

39、 by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. 【小题 1】 What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy A To invite authors to guide readers. B To encourage people to r

40、ead and share. C To involve people in community service. D To promote the friendship between cities. 【小题 2】 Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project A They had little interest in reading. B They were too busy to read a book. C They came from many different backgrounds. D They la

41、cked support from the local government. 【小题 3】 According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out A In large communities with little sense of unity. B In large cities where libraries are far from home. C In medium-sized cities with a diverse population. D In large towns whe

42、re agreement can be quickly reached. 【小题 4】 The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean . A exchanged ideas with each other B discussed the meaning of a word C gained life experience D used the same language 【小题 5】 According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is ju

43、dged by . A the careful selection of a proper book B the growing popularity of the writers C the number of people who benefit from reading D the number of books that each person reads 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 C Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort

44、be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成 ) as human beings. W

45、hat drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. Nearly every success

46、ful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的 ) resources t

47、o be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives

48、. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品 ) of technological developments in the space. While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the univ
