Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old and did not read until he was seven？His parents and teachers worried about his mentalability．
Beethoven's music teacher said about him，"As a composer （作曲家）he is hopeless．"What if this young boy believed it？
When Thomas Edison was a young boy，his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything．He once said，"I remember I used to never be able to get along at school．I was always at the foot of my class…father thought I was stupid，and I almost decided that I was a stupid person．"What if young Thomas believed what they said about him？
When the sculptor （雕刻家）Auguste Rodin was young，he had difficulty learning to read and write．Today，we may say he had a learning disability．His father said of him，"I have an idiot （白癡）for a son．"His uncle agreed．"He's uneducable，"he said．What if Rodin had doubted his ability？
Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no"good ideas"．Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher，"you can't sing．You have no voice at all．"And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal．What if these people had listened and become discouraged？Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven，the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney？As Oscar Levant once said，It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts．"
You have great potential．When you believe in all you can be，rather than all you cannot become，you will find your place on earth．

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 -
