We were standing at the top of a church not far from my home. I didn’t know why.
“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,” Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didn’t think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.
At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home. I told the cook to pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out, “What’s the matter with the soup today?” I at once told her what I had done , and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day .
Now I really understood why Father had taken me to the church. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every way to my goal.

科目:初中英語 來源:2011年廣西省桂林市中考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

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(碼頭), feet dangling(搖晃), 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. 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      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 in deed

  C. watermelon is the healthiest fruit         D. one should keep work-life balance
