    When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call us. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We would sit on the edge of the dock (码头) , feet dangling (摇晃) , and getting 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, sweetest 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 （财富） 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 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.

   A. was just a rich businessman            B. worked hard all the time

   C. lived a rich but healthy life             D. only knew how to make money

49. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to _______.

    “ If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!” That may seem strange. But touching things can help you see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water in the back of your hand, too.

    All children soon learn what “ Don’t touch” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy, like food, clothes, and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.

    There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything by touching. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body and the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them.

Most museums are just for watching. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “ Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

If we want to see things better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

41. Which of the following part can tell the difference of two coins in your pocket?

    A. Your skin.            B. Your eyes.       C. Your fingers   D. Your back.

42. When people buy things in shops, they often             .

    A. try them on first                 B. keep their right hands on them

    C. ask about their price               D. feel and touch them

43. Which do we touch most often to “ see” better before we buy it?

    A. A CD.           B. A woolen coat.         C. A drink.       D. A pen.

44. What does the last sentence mean?

    A. Touching is more important than seeing.

    B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.

    C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.

    D. Visitors can feel the things on show in all museums.

45. What is the best title of the story?

    A. Touching by Feeling                    B. To See or to Feel

    C. To See Better, Do Touch                D. Ways of Feeling
