五、阅读单选

Ellyse Perry is one of Australia’s greatest women cricketers（板球运动员）． She shares her ideas about having dreams and how to achieve them．

In Perry’s opinion, a dream has to be realistic（现实的）． It has to be something you can actually do． “When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a musician and giving concerts to people from all over the world． But that’s not realistic because I’m not good at it,” Perry said．

It’s true that all the little dreams we have can lead to a big one． In the beginning, Perry just wanted to be a cricketer． Then, she kept working hard and tried to dream bigger． Now she has the chance to fight for her country in cricket． “That’s impossible to imagine when I started out． So be brave to dream big,” said Perry．

As we all know, not everything can happen perfectly． All we have to do is to never give up（放弃）． As a sportsperson, Perry may lose a match sometimes． Instead of thinking about something bad, she always tells herself, “Be persistent． Things will get better soon if you never give up．”

Finally, Perry tells us that confidence（自信心）is what gets you through the hardest moments． “While facing problems, don’t lose heart． Always have confidence in yourself and believe in yourself． When you believe you can, you really can,” she said．

For most people, graduation is an exciting day． But my graduation day was not．

I remember that weekend two years ago． Family and friends had traveled from across the country to watch our class walk across that stage． But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university． We graduates had degrees, but very few job opportunities． I knew that the next day I would no longer have a place to call home．

I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, so I drove to southern California to find work． But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four weeks, and I found myself in the same spot I was in before．

You know that feeling when you wake up and you are full of fear? Fear about something you can’t control． You hope that everything that has happened to you so far is just a bad dream．

So what did I do to stay calm? I wrote． Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter． Something about writing gave me hope． If you want something enough … sometimes a little hope is all you need!

I turned my scary feelings into a children’s book — about a surprising hero who simply refused to give up on his dream．

Then one day, without a writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work – I was offered a publishing (出版) deal for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place． I was offered a second book deal． Then a few months later, I got an interview with a big company and got a good job．

It takes time, but just hold on — things can change when you don’t expect it．

A．Calm． B．Scared． C．Excited． D．Hopeful．

35．What helped the author achieve success?

A．Her writing degree．

C．Her hard work and persistence．

D．Her good job interview skills．

36．What does the author try to teach us?

B．Don’t fear what the future will be like．

C．Life can change for the better if you just hold on．

D．You might not get the job you want at first．

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 five-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer(硬币兑换器) 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 and 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 put 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 was a close relationship between families and their milkmen． Mr Basille even had a key to my house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we could 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 allow the production of cheaper milk, so 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 fixed 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 milk man who brought us friendship along with his milk．

37．Mr． Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer______．

A．to please his mother

B．to pay for the delivery

C．to show his magical power

D．to satisfy the boy’s curiosity(好奇心)

38．If they needed to change their order, they should____

A．call the milkman

B．wait for the milk

C．leave a note in the box

D．leave a note on the door

39．Why is there no longer milk delivery today?

A．It is not allowed by the law．

B．Its service is getting poor．

C．It has been driven out of the market．

D．Nobody wants to be a milkman now．

40．Why did writer bring back home an old milk box?

A．He planted flowers in it．

B．He missed the good old days．

C．He needed it for his milk bottles．

D．He wanted to tell interesting stories．

41．What can be inferred(推断) from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?

A．He was a funny person．

B．He wanted to have tea there．

C．He was fully trusted by the family．

D．He was treated as a family member．
