24、The Heart of Watermelon
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were 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) 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 (把……埋进) our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart―the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, and most seed-free part―and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s ideal (理想) 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 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 dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. 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 learn from the second paragraph (段) the writer and his father were feeling ________.
A.hungry
B.worried
C.relaxed
D.proud
【2】How did the writer and his father eat 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】The underlined (划线的) part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to (指的是) ________.
A.the writer’s hope of enjoying life
B.the writer’s busy life
C.the writer’s decision of making money
D.the best part of the watermelon
25、 Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano- without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines (藤) to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives ( men only) still take part in this amazing activity.
【1】What does the underlined word “those” mean?
A.People.
B.Animals.
C.Activities.
D.Islands.
【2】According to the passage, Mount Yasur ________.
A.is no longer active
B.is on Pentecost Island
C.erupts almost every day
D.rises 800 meters into the sky
【3】Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?
A.Because people can climb it easily.
B.Because people can make money.
C.Because people can watch snow on it.
D.Because people can surf the volcano.

Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD. He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It was about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany.
The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past?

The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place.
