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.

小题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. |
小题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 |
小题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 | D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life |

“You know, these cups brings to my mind a story I heard,” Mary said to her students.
She poured some tea. There were four of them and there were four completely different cups on the tables.
“I heard there was a teacher who took all his students for tea. His students were surprised that all the cups on the table were different. They all took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of others. The teacher said, “Did you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other’s tea cup and some of you even envy(羡慕)the finer cups of others.”
“I put the different cups here on purpose. I want to say life is like this tea. You all have the same thing in your cups——tea. And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of another’s cup. You forget to enjoy your own life when you envy someone else’s life. We all have the same thing——life. We should care more about the tastes of your own life. So now, taste your own tea. Does it matter from which cup it came from?” Mary finished telling her story and her students all sat in silence for a while, enjoying their tea. And it really did not matter a bit from which teacup they drank.

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn"t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don"t you want the fish? "
The child replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn"t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won"t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn"t know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It"s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
小题1:The old man was fishing on the bank of________.
A. a river B. a lake C. a pool
小题2: Why did the child refuse the fish the old man gave her?
A. Because she didn"t like fish.
B. Because she wanted his fishing rod.
C. Because the old man had few fish.
小题3:The writer thought the child was_____ after she explained why she didn"t want the fish.
A. smart B. hardworking C. silly
小题4:The article mainly tells us______.
A. if you have a "fishing rod" in your life, you won"t be afraid of anything
B. if you have a fishing rod, you"ll have a lot of fish to eat
C. "fishing skills" are more important than "the fishing rod" in life
小题5: What is the best tide(标题)for the article?
A. The Fishing Rod B. The Fishing Man C. The Fishing Girl |
