After being born at the end of 1932,Mr Cameron Senior suffered a lot with both legs shortened below the knee and his feet twisted.He went under numerous operations to ease his pain,and eventually both limbs(下肢) had to be cut off.But despite his disability and later losing the sight in one eye,Mr Cameron Senior still gained a successful career as a stockbroker(股票經(jīng)紀人).
   After moving to England from Scotland as a child,he married Mary and the couple raised four children at the family home in Peasemore,Berks.
   In an interview with The Daily Telegraph two years ago,the Tory leader described the experience of growing up with a father with a disability.He told how once they were on holiday in Cornwall,he overheard someone rudely saying:"That guy's wearing funny boots." Mr Cameron(英國前任首相卡梅倫) said he thought to himself,"That's odd,no one ever says that."
   In an ITV interview before the general election,Mr Cameron said of his father,"He's an amazingly brave man because he was born with no heels—quite a disability.But the glass with him was half-full ,normally with something alcoholic,I think I got my sense of optimism from him."
   Mr Cameron also appeared with his parents at an event and said that they understood his idea for "A Big Society".
   "They showed me how a big society could work every day I was growing up," he said,"I know what are my responsibilities." Mr Cameron Senior's disability is not thought to have played any part in his death aged 77.Friends said he was "so proud" to see his son become Prime Minister in May,and had visited 10 Downing Street and Chequers.However ,the family's various holiday plans meant that he did not get to meet his latest granddaughter Florence,who was delivered to the PM's wife Samantha last month.

  • 1.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(魔術般) 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 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(門廊).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.

    D.He was fully trusted by the family.

    A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
    B.It has been driven out of the market.
