My three-year-old son，Nathan，was digging the sand to build a castle.Although I warned him it'd be（1）BB ，he insisted on building it in the （2）DD of every single wave that would （3）AA on the shore.
I sighed，figuring the only way to make him（4）AA was to do as he liked and let him see what would happen.I only hoped he wouldn't be too（5）DD when that first wave destroyed his（6）BB.
But when the water came and washed away his castle，he jumped up and down and clapped his hands. "That's（7）DD!Let's do it again!" I didn't know how he could （8）BB seeing his fruit of labor ruined.
"Is it really fun when the waves wash away the （9）DD？"
"Yes，" he said.
Looking at him，I thought about my（10）CC at home.Nothing I did there ever seemed to （11）AA.I prepared dinners，which ten minutes after I placed them on the table were （12）AA consumed.I mopped floors only to see someone（13）BB them on their first trip in from the back yard.My life was just one never-ending to-do（14）CC.
Just like the sand castles Nathan built，all my（15）DD were washed away by a giant wave called Family Life.Nothing I did lasted beyond the moment.
Because of this，I often struggled feeling （16）AA.I wondered if the things I did（17）AA.And if nothing I did mattered，that meant that I didn't matter.
But as I watched my child （18）BB in the sand happily，I realized that I'm building something（19）CC，something that will last forever.
I'm （20）CC a family.

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．發布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：16難度：0.9 -
