三、阅读单选

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), feel 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 dog and enjoy life’s small pleasure. Your work is probably hurting your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I 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’ve learned again to throw the rest away.

21．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.

22．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

23．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

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.“Mom，come here！There's this lady here my size！”

 The mother rushed to her son；then she turned to me to say sorry to me.

 I smiled and told her，“It's OK.”Then I talked to the boy，“Hi，I'm Dory Kramer. How are you？”

 He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you a little mommy？”

“Yes，I have a son,” I answered.

“Why are you so little?”he asked.

“It's the way I was born,” I said.“Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger.”After I answered his other questions，I shook the boy's hand and left.

 My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

 It takes only one glance( 一瞥) to see I’m different. I stand three feet nine inches tall(="1.14" metres).I was born a dwarf．In spite of this，I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

 I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids called me names (辱骂).Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year.

 But I learned to smile and face the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality. When people are rude，I remind myself，“Look what else I have－a great family，nice friends.”

24．Why did the mother say sorry to Dory Kramer?

A．Because the boy ran into the author.

B．Because the boy hit the author.

C．Because the boy said the author was fatter than him.

D．Because the mother thought the boy's words had hurt the author.

25．What does a dwarf look like?

A．Of medium height. B．Very tall.

C．Very short. D．Very thin.

26．When did the author realize that she was too short?

A．When she grew up.

B．When she was 47 years old.

C．When she began to go to school.

D．When she met the boy in the supermarket.

27．What does the sentence “What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality”mean?

A．Although I am not tall, I often dress up to make myself different.

B．Although I am not tall, I can make myself tall by dressing up.

C．Although I am not tall, I try to keep it as my personal secrets.

D．Although I am not tall, I can make myself good with good personal qualities.

Almost all animals need to sleep to stay healthy. But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!

Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.

A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.

Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.

Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep under- water helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.

Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.

A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.

Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.

A travel journal (日志) is one of the best ways to keep a long journey in memory. Many details that don’t seem important while you are writing your travel journal often turn out to be so memorable.

________. When you are on a busy journey, it is easy to forget to write. You may promise yourself that you will write later, but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories. It doesn’t have to be long, just on a regular basis (定期).

How to Be Healthy

Health is the most important thing in our life. To stay healthy, I think we should do such things well.

First, we should have healthy eating habits. We need to eat all kinds of food, especially vegetables and fruits. It’s better to eat less meat. Don’t eat junk food. Don’t drink coffee or Coke too much, because they are bad for us. And we should have breakfast, lunch and supper on time. Second, we should go to bed early and get up early. Staying up too late is harmful to our health. Third, take an active part in some sports. We should take more exercise, such as walking, running, riding bikes and playing basketball. In this way, we can become stronger.

I hope we will be healthier.
