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 us. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock(码头), swung our legs 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 hide our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie just smiled and looked at it patiently with satisfaction.

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 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.

21. According to the second paragraph, how were the writer and his father feeling?

A．relaxed.

B．worried.

C．hungry.

D．tired.

22. 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.

23. 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

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

A．the best part of the watermelon	B．the writer’s busy life
C．the writer’s decision of making money	D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life

25. What can be learned from the passage?

A．One has to work hard to reach his goal.	B．One should help a friend in trouble.
C．Watermelon is the healthiest fruit	D．One should keep work-life balance.

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas(居民区) rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays. Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities.

In Qingdao, a coastal(海岸的) city in Shangdong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.

Through a special app, users can either share or order a parking place. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit(限制) on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average (平均的) parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.

Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.

26. In the first paragraph, the writer points out that________.

A．we should find a good way to use parking spaces in big cities

B．prices of parking spaces are rising quickly in China

C．it’s difficult to find parking space in central business districts

D．many people want to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays

27. The underlined word idle probably means ________ in Chinese in this passage.

A．无所事事的

B．停顿的

C．闲置的

D．懒惰的

28. If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should________.

A．love the city	B．use a special app
C．have an idle parking space	D．share your personal information

29. How much should you pay if you use a shared parking space for 5 hours in Qingdao?

A．15 yuan.

B．20yuan.

C．25yuan.

D．30yuan.

30. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.

A．it’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays

B．Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai

C．shared parking will probably become more and more popular

D．shared parking is more expensive than traditional parking service
