I was living a life in my screen and hardly noticed what was around me．So when my friends invited me to go camping for a long weekend without the cell service，I thought this was exactly what I needed．Here's how keeping away from my phone for 48 hours changed me．
I realized my bedtime routine was usually centered on one thing：my phone．Right before I went to sleep，I browsed through news websites and checked my emails．When I woke up in the middle of the night，I did the same thing．The problem with this was I felt anxious every night．I felt free without my phone at that weekend camp．I felt asleep listening to the sound of crickets．
When I had my phone，I was always checking the time and thinking of future plans．My thought was："Who's going to text me now？What will I do next？"Without my phone，I truly savored what I was doing in the moment，sitting by the river，riding a bike，or singing the old songs．There was no need to rush through any of it．I listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me to do．
You know that moment when you're hanging out with a group of people and no one has anything to say？The typical response：Everyone immediately pulls out their phones．So what did we do without a phone to avoid embarrassing silences？We actually talked to each other．Instead of burying our faces in our screens，we looked one another in the eye，had a moment of pure human connection and then continued talking．And you know what？People actually listened．
So，now what？Now I'm back to the real world．

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 -
