As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery andgave 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(魔术般) 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 thatwe put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt 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 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. 1. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________. A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the delivery C. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother 2. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key
