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 he 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 learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling____.A、relaxed B、worried C、hungry 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 best part of the watermelon B、the writer's busy life C、the writer's decision of making money life D、the writer's hope of enjoying life(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 indeed. C、watermelon is the healthiest fruit. D、one should keep work-life balance.24. 阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers, it could happen if we don't act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage-chocolate's growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What's worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the center's fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they' re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!
(1)、The first paragraph tells us that____.A、chocolate is healthier than vegetables B、the world could soon be without chocolate C、people love vegetables more than chocolate D、it's not necessary to eat so much chocolate(2)、In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?A、Venezuela and Indonesia. B、Ivory Coast and Ghana. C、Indonesia and China. D、China and India.(3)、Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops____.A、can make them more money B、need less rain to grow C、can be planted more times each year D、are not damaged by plant diseases(4)、How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?A、6 months. B、12 months. C、24 months. D、30 months.(5)、What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre?A、To introduce cocoa production to more countries. B、To provide more chocolate for British people. C、To produce stronger types of cocoa plants. D、To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.四、补全语篇(每题2分,5小题,共10分)

25. 以下是一篇短文,请阅读全文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
A. It's a kind of promise.
B. Maybe there are good reasons for this.
C. There are different kinds of resolutions.
D. This helps us to remember our resolutions.
E. How about you-will you make any next year?
F. Without resolutions, success is impossible.
We all love to make resolutions at the beginning of the New Year. Do you know what a resolution is? We always make promises to other people, also, to ourselves. We even write down cur resolutions and plans for the coming year.
As a student, we always promise our parents that we will study hard to get better results in the new year. So we promise ourselves we must find more time to study. We also say we are going to take up a hobby like painting or playing ping-pong, or learn to play the guitar. To get high grades in P. E., we must run every day.
Although we can make so many resolutions, we hardly ever keep them. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes we just forget about them.
But we must know that making resolutions is the key to doing everything well. So, once we have made up our minds, we must not be afraid of difficult problems and keep on doing so.
