3 . 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 5-year-old 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 (魔术般) 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 to __________.

A．show his magical power	B．pay for the delivery
C．satisfy his curiosity	D．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 not allowed 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.

8 . For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur’s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.

Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother’s dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.”

Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.

Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize.

“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,’ she says. “If you work with traditional publishing, it’s more about what’s marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I’m cool with that.”

1. From Paragraph 2，we can learn that Laqueur _______.

A．was a part-time writer when she was young

B．didn’t like teaching dancing in fact

C．wanted to own a publishing house

D．was interested in running her mother’s studio

2. What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?

A．Her mother’s persuasion.	B．The desire to make money
C．Self-publishing her novels.	D．Her own passion toward art.

3. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “stole the show” in Paragraph 4?

A．became a failure.	B．was shown to people.
C．got all the attention.	D．was accidentally stolen.

4. What can be inferred from what Laqueur’s said?

A．Self-publishing will replace traditional publishing.

B．She will never use traditional publishing.

C．Traditional publishing only focuses on the market.

D．She enjoys the way of self-publishing.

9 . Who are the two speakers?

A．Retired soldiers.

B．College students.

C．Army people.

10 . I climb for all women

Between raising two daughters and working as a dishwasher at Whole Foods, the native of Nepal Lhakpa Sherpa just doesn’t have time for training to climb Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest.     1     And she hopes to outdo herself this month again.

Lhakpa is recognized by Guinness World Records and is well known in mountaineering circles.     2     But as a girl growing up in the Sherpa ethnic community, she wasn’t allowed to attend school. Without a formal education, she has taken a job as a dishwasher to give her daughters and now-grown son a chance at a better life in the United States.

    3     Sherpa girls were discouraged from climbing. Becoming a climber was harder, especially after the first Nepali woman to reach the summit, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, died on her way down the mountain in 1993. Lhakpa joined an expedition of five women in 2000 who convinced the government to give them a permit.     4    

Last month, her adopted home town of West Hartford claimed her to be “Queen of Mount Everest”. Despite being known as “Queen of Mount Everest”, to many of her co-workers, she’s just Lhakpa, a very humble person. “I don’t need to be famous.     5     There is no difference in climbing a mountain. I climb for all women. I want to keep doing my sport. If I don’t do my sport, I feel tired. I want to push my limits.”

A．However, she served as a porter.

B．Even so, she has done it a record eight times.

C．I want to show that a woman can do men’s jobs.

D．Lhakpa was used to overcoming difficult situations.

E．She would have liked to be a doctor or an airplane pilot.

F．She gets up most days at 6 am to walk her two daughters to school.

G．She was the first Nepali woman to reach the summit and return alive.
