When milk arrived on the doorstep
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 5yearold 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 notePlease add a bottle of buttermilk next deliveryand 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 out 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

Honesty my mum always used to tell me is the best policy Of course this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents
But when it comes to medicine I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients After all the doctor patient relationship is based on trust and therefore honesty is essential Or so I thought
I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科) Mr McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance She’d been his main carer for years I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history Has he lost any weight recently I asked Well it’s funny you should mention that but yes She said slowly There was silence for a few moments Why What are you worried about she asked I hesitated She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth Well we need to prove it’s not cancer I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order
Half an hour later a nurse called me Mr McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer My heart sank By the time I arrived at the ward my consultant was already there explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer I stood silently at the end of the bed My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr McMahon she turned to me Why on carch did you do that she asked to disbelief I looked at her and bit my hp She asked me what I was worried about and I told her I said hanging my head And give her more to worry about replied my consultant You don’t say the word cancer’ until it’s confirmed Even if you suspect it think very carefully before you tell people
As it turned out it wasn’t cancer But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this In being truthful I’d made the situation worse
51The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author
A misunderstood the doctorpatient relationship
B was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C regarded honesty as the best policy D had an unhealthy eating habit
52The author’s consultant was angry with him because
A he told the daughter what he suspected
B he delayed running the necessary tests
C he failed to confirm the parent’s disease
D he forgot what the consultant had advised
53．The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para4) because he was feeling A guilty B hurt C disappointed D helpless
54What lesson has the author learnt from his experience
A Learning form parents is necessary
B Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous
C Telling the truth may not always be the best solution
D Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy

William Butler Yeats a most famous Irish writer was born in Dublin on June 131865 His childhood lacked the harmony (睦) that was typical of a happy family Later Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered little of childhood but its pain In fact he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family ——both his father and his brother were painters But he finally settled on literature particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890sHis early theatrical experimentshoweverwere not received favorably at the beginning He didn’t lose heartand finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama
Compared with his dramatic works Yeats’s poems attract much admiring noticeThe subject matter includes love nature history time and aging Though Yeats generally relied on very tradisional forms he brought modern sensibility to them As his literary life progressed his poetry grew finer and richer which led him to worldwide recognition
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923Yethe continued writing almost to the end of his life Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40he would probably now his valued as a manor poet for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75 After Yeats’s death in 1939 WH Auden wrote among others the following lines
Earthrecive an honoured guest
William Yeats is laid to rest

When milk arrived on the doorstep
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 5yearold 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 notePlease add a bottle of buttermilk next deliveryand 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 out 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

A to show his magical power B to pay for the delivery

57 What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys They often wanted me to stay home with them There certainly were times I wanted to quit But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives
In 2007 I graduated from the University of North Carolina It took me over 21 years to get my college degree
I am not special just singleminded It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge but when you’re in the midst of it it just seems normal Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day It’s a process Rememberlittle steps add up to big dreams

Honesty my mum always used to tell me is the best policy Of course this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents
But when it comes to medicine I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients After all the doctor patient relationship is based on trust and therefore honesty is essential Or so I thought
I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科) Mr McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance She’d been his main carer for years I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history Has he lost any weight recently I asked Well it’s funny you should mention that but yes She said slowly There was silence for a few moments Why What are you worried about she asked I hesitated She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth Well we need to prove it’s not cancer I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order
Half an hour later a nurse called me Mr McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer My heart sank By the time I arrived at the ward my consultant was already there explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer I stood silently at the end of the bed My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr McMahon she turned to me Why on carch did you do that she asked to disbelief I looked at her and bit my hp She asked me what I was worried about and I told her I said hanging my head And give her more to worry about replied my consultant You don’t say the word cancer’ until it’s confirmed Even if you suspect it think very carefully before you tell people
As it turned out it wasn’t cancer But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this In being truthful I’d made the situation worse
51The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author
A misunderstood the doctorpatient relationship
B was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C regarded honesty as the best policy D had an unhealthy eating habit
52The author’s consultant was angry with him because
A he told the daughter what he suspected
B he delayed running the necessary tests
C he failed to confirm the parent’s disease
D he forgot what the consultant had advised
53．The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para4) because he was feeling A guilty B hurt C disappointed D helpless
54What lesson has the author learnt from his experience
A Learning form parents is necessary
B Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous
C Telling the truth may not always be the best solution
D Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy
