【题目】 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. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud
【2】In the eyes of the writer′s father, Bernie __________.
A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. 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 watermelonB. the writer′s busy life
C. the writer′s decision of making moneyD. 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.

Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!
The first day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting(刻上) upon my mind the outside evidences of the beauty that is within them. I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that changes a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.
In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and rest my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying to enjoy in a few hours the brilliance(光辉)which is presenting itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses working in the field and the peaceful men living close to the soil.
When darkness had fallen, I should experience the double joy of being able to see, thanks to the man-made light which man has created to enlarge the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness
In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!
(By Helen Keller).
