56、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 couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer(自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a deli

57、very 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,

58、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 wouldnt freeze.

59、 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. Mr Basille always said: “delivering milk is hard if you want to do it well but I love my job.”There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allow

60、ed 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 plant

61、ed it on the back porch(门廊). Often my sons 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.56.

A difficulty I encountered was that I had strong Chinese accent while communicating with others in English, making everyone laugh at me. Confronted with the difficulty, I bought lots of CDs of native speakers public speaking, and tried to imitate their intonation every day. Besides, I often turned to the teacher for help, who always helped correct my pronunciation. As a result, I made great progress.
