In 1816, there were no schools for the deaf in America. Several people started a few schools, but in the end all of the schools closed. There were too many problems. The first people to succeed were Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. They opened their school in 1817, and the school did not close. At that time it was the only school for deaf children in America!
Clerc and Gallaudet did not know what would happen after they opened their school. They worked very hard. The school grew, and many more students went to this school. These new students were from all over the country. People thought the school would be big enough for all of the deaf children in America. The school is still open today, but the name was changed. Today it is called the American School for the Deaf. It is in West Hartford, Connecticut.
After Clerc and Gallaudet established their school, many other schools for the deaf were opened as well. Before Gallaudet’s death in 1851, 15 other schools for deaf children were built! Many of the teachers at those 15 schools used Gallaudet’s teaching methods. Many had even studied with Gallaudet and were deaf themselves!

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering(遞送) 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 (自動換幣器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a coin out of his changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese and other milk products. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write on 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(方便). There was 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, as a result, 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 time my son’s friends ask what it is, I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
小題1: Why did Mr. Basille give the boy a coin out of his changer?
A．To show his magical power.
B．To satisfy the boy’s curiosity（好奇心）
C．To pay for the milk.
D．To win the family’s trust (信任).
小題2:What can be inferred (推斷) 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 powerful person.
C．He was treated as a family member.
D．He was fully trusted by the family.
小題3:Why is there no home milk delivery today?
A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B．The government has stopped it by law.
C．It has been driven out of the market.
D．Its service is becoming worse and worse.
小題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 missed it for his milk bottles.
D．He used it to beautify the back porch.

In the city of Chicago I met a man I will never forget. He drove a bus that ran from downtown to the edge of the city. Each night I watched him. As the passengers got on the bus, he smiled at each one. It was fun to see how many passengers forgot their troubles and smiled back.
There was one passenger, I noticed, that had never smiled back. He usually coughed roughly through his mustache (胡子) as he got on the bus. And he never covered his mouth. But that wasn’t enough to stop the bus driver’s smile. He gave the man with the mustache and the rough cough his biggest smile.
The man with the mustache never seemed to see that smile. He would sit on the edge of his seat and complained about the way that the bus driver was driving. He only complained for a short time, but he spoke loudly enough so everybody could hear. It was enough to make me sick. But the driver never said a word. He just went on smiling at passengers as they got on the bus.
I wanted to get to know this bus driver better. One night I stayed on the bus to the end of the line. I asked the driver, “Why don’t you throw that man with the mustache out of the bus?” The bus driver looked at me and gave me one of his famous smiles. “I don’t care about that,” he said. “Let me tell you about my friend’s dog.

Life is full of happiness and bitters. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bittery one?
In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋轉) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小題1:Happiness is for          ．
A．those who have large and beautiful houses
B．those who have cars
C．those who have lots of money
D．a(chǎn)ll people
小題2:When you do something wrong,          .
A．people around you will help you
B．you will have no chance to challenge yourself
C．your classmates will laugh at you
D．you will be happy
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D．All of the above..
小題4:We say “Happiness is not the same as money.” because          .
A．money always brings happiness
B．money doesn’t always bring happiness
C．everything can be bought with money
D．only rich doesn’t always bring happiness
小題5:Which is the best title of the passage?
