If a painting doesn't seem right, he will start over again completely, “No matter how long I've gone on it or how big it is”.

　　Matt grows the nicest vegetables in the village. He grows fruits, too——big, sweet apples and oranges. And what else? Well, the biggest and the prettiest flowers.

　　Things grow in Mitt’s garden all through the year. He cuts some flowers for his sitting-room table; and, of course, he eats some fruit and vegetables. But he sells everything else in the market. Matt is not a poor man—oh, no, he isn’t poor.

　　I will tell you people do not understand him. And they do not understand has garden. “Why not?” you will ask, “It’s a good garden, isn’t it?”

　　It is a wonderful garden. Matt grows things in spring, summer, autumn and winter. After that he does very little work. He sits in the garden with his small radio. And everything grows.

　　People ask, “How does Matt grow these wonderful things? He waters the plants sometimes, but he doesn’t do anything else. He just sits under an orange tree with his radio. He listens to music nearly all day!” And that is all quite true. People cannot understand it, and so they don’t like it very much.

　　Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large．The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs．There can be little hope of raising the money needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money for long-term projects．So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future interests．They do this by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange．By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of single persons and institutions, both at home and abroad．

　　When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom originally placed it．Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money．

　　Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local organizations．Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not work．All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange．

　　These is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development．In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country．The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these saving can reach those who need finance．

(1)

[　　]

exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange

　　The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning．Just lately he has been arriving before I get up．Workforce shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier．

　　Delivering milk to people’s homes is hardly good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road．In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as great as a few years ago．There are enough men prepared to make an early morning start for the sake of an open air job with a fair measure of freedom．If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self service stores．Dairies(乳品業(yè))know that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales．

　　Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase business．One dairyman said, “It won’t be long before the milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though variety will be limited only by the size of the trucks．

　　So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade．Flavored(有味道的)milk is popular on the Continent．In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring．Even the returnable bottle continues to be used．As long as it has a reasonable life－30 to 40 trips are usual－the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile．

(1)

The milkmen now start earlier on their delivery rounds than before because ________．

[　　]

A．

there is an increasing demand for milk delivery

B．

they hope to reach the customers’ homes in time

C．

they have to collect the money for the week’s milk house to house

D．

dairies are short of delivery men and the companies worry about falling sales

(2)

Why are there enough men prepared to make an early morning start?

[　　]

A．

Because they can enjoy a certain amount of freedom in the fresh air．

B．

Because they like working outdoors and breathe the air freely．

C．

Because they can enjoy a great amount of freedom outdoors．

D．

Because they like walking freely in the fresh air．

(3)

According to the passage, in this decade ________．

[　　]

A．

milkmen will disappear very soon

B．

flavored milk will become popular in Britain

C．

people will buy milk from self service stores

D．

there will be little change in the dairy business

(4)

It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

[　　]

A．

the British people seldom buy plain milk

B．

the returnable bottles are no longer used

C．

collection and cleaning of the returnable bottles cost nothing

D．

the returnable bottles won’t be thrown away until they are used dozens of times
