Like any good mother，when Karen found out that another baby was on the way，she did what she could not help her 3-year-old son，Michael，prepare for a new baby．Day after day，night after night，Michael sang to his mommy's tummy（肚子）．
Finally，Michael's little sister was born．But she was in a very serious condition．With sirens（警報(bào)）howling in the night，the ambulance rushed the baby to St．Mary's Hospital．The days inched by．The little girl became worse．The pediatric（兒科的） specialists told the parents to prepare for the worst．
Michael kept begging about singing to his sister，but kids are not allowed in pediatric department at St．Mary's Hospital．Karen made up her mind to take Michael to see his sister．She dressed him in an over-sized suit and marched him into the hospital．He looked like a walking laundry basket，but the head nurse recognized him as a child and shouted，"Get that kid out of here now!"Karen rose up strong，and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse's face．"He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"
Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside．He gazed at the tiny baby losing the battle to live．And he began to sing．In the pure-hearted voice of 3-year-old，Michael sang："You are my sunshine，my only sunshine．You make me happy when skies are gray．"Instantly the baby girl responded．Her pulse rate became calm and steady．Her strained breathing became smoother．
"Keep on singing，Michael，""The other night，dear，as I lay sleeping，I dreamed I hold you in my arms．"Michael's little sister relaxed as healing rest seemed to sweep over her．"Keep on singing，Michael．"Tears conquered the face of the nurse．"You are my sunshine，my only sunshine．Please don't take my sunshine away．"
The next day---the very next day---the little girl was well enough to go home!

1．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（魔術(shù)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（門廊）．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．
A．to show his magical power
B．to pay for the delivery
C．to satisfy his curiosity
D．to 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 forbidden 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．發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：16引用：3難度：0.9 -
