When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were 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, and most seed-free part — and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father's ideal 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.We learn from the second paragraph the writer and his father were feeling_____.
A. hungry B. worried C. relaxed D. proud
2.How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A. They ate it in a polite way.
B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it.
D. They shared only one piece.
3.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
4.The underlined part "the heart of the watermelon" in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the writer's hope of enjoying life
B. the writer's busy life
C. the writer's decision of making money
D. the best part of the watermelon
5.It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. one has to work hard to reach his goal
B. a friend in need is a friend in deed
C. watermelon is the healthiest fruit
D. one should keep work-life balance

When I was a kid, the Easter (复活节) holidays in Australia were my favorite time of the year. As soon as they began in April, my family would head straight to the beach for a weekend of camping.
Unlike most of the world, Easter falls in autumn in Australia. This means that Easter is our last chance to enjoy the warm weather, swim in the ocean and sleep in the bush under the stars.
We’d pitch our tents(帐篷) on clear patches of grass and look out onto an almost empty beach. Often we were the only ones camping and the whole beach would be ours alone.
We used to spend all day outside – swimming, hiking and fishing. On Easter morning, my parents would wake up early and plan an Easter egg hunt for my three brothers and me. They would hide the eggs in the strangest places – in abandoned(废弃的) bird nests in the trees, under our tents and in every corner of the stones that surround(环绕着) the beach.
In Australia, instead of chocolate bunnies, we had chocolate bilbies (兔耳袋狸). Bilbies are Australian animals with long ears. Chocolate bilbies were the best treat to find and there was always one for each of us.
But sometimes, other animals found them first, and all we’d find were brightly colored wrappers(包装袋) with animal tooth marks.
After the hunt we would come back to the campsite with our bellies (肚子) full of chocolate. For us, Easter wasn’t about chocolate eggs or religious tradition. It was about being with our family in the great outdoors.
1.The writer loved Easter because ___________.
A. she enjoyed a great time out with her family
B. she could get up late during the holidays
C. she could eat eggs on that day
D. it was the most important holiday of the year
2.Which of the following is TRUE of Easter in Australia?
A. It falls in spring.
B. Many animals come out that day.
C. It’s different from that in other countries.
D. It’s about the rebirth of Jesus.
3.The writer usually had _________ during Easter holidays.
A. chocolate bunnies B. chocolate eggs
C. chocolate bilbies D. chocolate bars
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Holidays in Australia.
B. Easter celebrations in Australia.
C. The history of Australian Easter.
D. Australian traditions.
