When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father′s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie′s place. We′d sit on the edge of the dock(码头), feet dangling(摇晃), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we′d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father′s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie′s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don′t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life′s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I′d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I′ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That′s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1.In the second paragraph, the writer and his father were feeling ________.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud
2.In the eyes of the writer′s father, Bernie __________.
A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
3.The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ____________.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer′s busy life
C. the writer′s decision of making money D. the writer′s hope of enjoying life
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. One has to work hard to reach his goal. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Watermelon is the healthiest fruit. D. One should keep work-life balance.

根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。
Most people know what a giraffe looks like. They’re tall, and famous for their long necks that allow them to reach the leaves at the top of the trees that other animals can’t reach. With its 6-foot-long legs and 6-foot-long neck a giraffe can grow over 18 feet tall. That’s almost as tall as a two-floor building! Even a baby giraffe has a long neck and long legs. In fact, a baby giraffe can be feet tall at birth and can stand up in an hour. A giraffe’s heart is also long, with a heart being up to two feet. It takes a strong heart to move blood up the long neck into the brain. The giraffe has special valve(瓣膜) in its blood vessels((血管). These valves prevent blood from rushing to the head when the giraffe bend low to drink. The giraffe must spread its long legs apart so that its long neck can reach the water. Since it can’t protect itself when in this position, it doesn’t drink very often. They wisely choose plants to get water. And speaking of food that a giraffe likes best is the leaves of acacia trees(金合欢树).
The animal with the 1. of “giraffe” | |
a giraffe’s neck and legs | The neck is of the same 2. of the legs. |
A giraffe’s heart | It is strong enough to move blood up to the neck into the 3. . |
A giraffe’s blood vessels | There are special valves in the vessels, which prevent blood from 4. to the head. |
A giraffe’s 5. food | The leaves of acacia trees |
