watermelon was expensive. one of my fathers 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 bernies place. we d sit on the edge of the dock, feet dangling, 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 wed 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 fathers 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 bernies 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 dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy lifes small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.for many years, i forgot that lesson id learned as a kid on the loading dock. i was too busy making all the money i could.well, ive relearned it. i hope i have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. thats the heart of the watermelon. i have learned again to throw the rest away.56. we learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling _.a. relaxed b. worried c. hungry d. proud57. 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

enjoying life60. it can be learned from the passage that _.a. one has to work hard to reach his goalb. a friend in need is a friend in deedc. watermelon is the healthiest fruit d. one should keep work-life balance(c) many people love special pets. one of them is the fiddler crab (招潮蟹). it is just like a living clock. it shows the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and nearly white by night. the crabs changing colour follows a regular twenty-four hour schedule (时间表) that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun. people who raise fiddler crabs usually like a pair of them, that is, a male and a female. the size of the claws makes it very easy to tell the difference between male and female fiddler crabs. a male fiddler crab has one claw that is larger than both its other claws and the claws of the females. the females have two small claws. even without daylight, the crabs skin colour continues to change exactly on time. this probably developed slowly in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. after millions of years it has become completely regular inside the living body of the crab.the scientists notice that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. from this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tide（潮水）. the crabs period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!61. how does a fiddler crab change its colour?a. it changes colour according to the time.b. it changes colour according to the weather.c. it changes colour when it sees its enemies.d. it changes colour when it is looking for food.62. what can we learn from the second paragraph?a. male fiddler crabs have more claws than female ones.b. female fiddler crabs have one bigger claw.c. a female fiddler crabs claw is bigger than those of a male one.d. a male fiddler crab has one claw that is bigger than those of a female one.63. which of the following is true of the crabs changing colour?a. it keeps the crab warm.b. it can happen without daylight.c. it tells the crab the time to find food.d. it is of no real use.64. what does the underlined word “this” (paragraph 3) refer to?a. the 24-hour rhythm of the sun.b. the regular change of sea water.c. the change of the crabs colour.d. the study done by the scientist.65. whats the main idea of the passage?a. how fiddler crabs change colour.b. how to raise a
