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 dea ling 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. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud（）2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?6A. 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 businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. 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 watermelonB. the writer’s busy lifeC. the writer’s decision of making moneyD. thewriter’s hope of enjoying life（）5. 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 fruitD. one should keep work-life balanceBChina began its sixth population census(人口普查) on November 11, 2010. The result was released this April. The population of China is 1339724852.WHEN MIDNIGHT CAME When it came to midnight on that day, the census was begun. 28-year-old Wang Yi in Jinan, began knocking on a door in an apartment building. A young man with a drowsy look opened the door. The man named Ji Wei, who had missed the poll because of business elsewhere, quickly fill out the questionnaire which had questions about name, age, job and housing condition.DIFFERENCE THIS TIME Different from the last census, the floating population this year was registered at where they actually live. Also, for the first time people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as foreigners in the Chinese mainland, are included in the census. But those on short-term business or sight-seeing trips will not be covered.HARD BUT HELPFUL As Chinese people's privacy(隐私) grows, census takers have difficulties in getting the information they need. “In front of our compound there was a lady in her 40s selling pickles. During the preliminary poll, she refused to tell us her phone number.” said Wang Xin, a census taker in Shenyang.(Xinhua reporter Wang Ying from Liaoning, Xiao Sisi from Guangdong, Yin Lijuan from Beijing, Ren Liying from Hebei and Liu Baosen from Shandong contributed to the report)（）6.
