阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

When milk arrived on the doorstep

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 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（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 milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk．

51．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

52．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 became the boy's family member．

D．He was fully trusted by the family．

53．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．

54．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．

B

How would you like to brush a crocodile's teeth? Or give a shark a bath? Cats are well-known for the way they keep themselves clean by licking（舔），but other animals have their own ways to stay clean as well．And tidiness can be important for their survival．Even cockroaches（蟑螂）have to keep their feelers clean to help them into food．

Many animals in the wild，such as deer，wolves and bears，have an automatic cleaning system．Insects like to attach themselves to animals to feed on the skin or blood．These parasites（寄生虫） can be unhealthy．But their“host” animals are constantly dropping skin and fur by a natural process．They also like to rub up against trees or rocks to comfort themselves，and this removes additional skin and fur．Along with old fur goes the dirt and parasites living in the fur．While these animals may sometimes take a bath when they enter or cross a river or lake，they don't need the water to stay clean．They don't get swea
