Winter break! Two whole weeks without homework-two whole weeks of heaven.Two weeks to relax.I imagined myself getting plenty of sleep.I planned on reading“The Giver”, which I hadn't had time to read.
But soon I noticed something:I couldn't sleep.It would be 12∶30 a. m.and I would be trying to fall asleep.I would begin thinking that I haven't done anything today!
This happened the next night, and the night after.During the day, when I had free time, I would be pacing(踱步)around the room moaning(抱怨)that I had nothing to do! I was eating when I wasn't hungry.I was playing a computer game even though it was boring.
The truth, I concluded, is that relaxation doesn't mean doing nothing.Relaxation means doing something enjoyable.I planned to swim at the local high school.I set up a practice schedule of an hour and a half per day.I decided to read two books that my friend had recommended(推荐)to me.I planned to do a little community service work, volunteering to help at the nearby old people's home for two hours every day.After doing those things, writing e-mails to my friends, watching DVDs and sleeping 12 hours a day, my days are full.And I'm truly having fun relaxing.
Of course, some of my earlier wishes have come true.Being free from school work has taken a load off my mind, helped me to get in perspective(洞察力)and brought me back in touch with my family and myself.Getting so much sleep has done wonders for my state of mind.
After each past winter break, I haven't been able to say what I did, how I used my time.This winter break will be different.I am relaxing by working.

Moreno, Stanley, and 23 other students from Westfield State College were on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico. This was the last night in the hotel. It was 4 am, Moreno and Stanley came back from a party.
Just as Stanley went to sleep, he heard loud noise outside. From the balcony (阳台) of their fourth-floor room, Moreno and Stanley saw black smoke out of one window and heard people shouting.
Moreno ran out into the corridor and began knocking on doors and shouting, "Fire!" After that, he went upstairs in a hurry to tell other people. At the same time, Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke-filled room. There he joined forces with Nalewanski, a 21-year-old boy who had a room on the second floor.
"Let's go," Nalewanski said. He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and put them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe. Then they ran up the stairs. On the fourth floor they found Moreno feeling terrible (Moreno had made it up to the eighth floor before turning back). But after making sure he could get back down on his own, they continued upstairs, knocking on the doors on every floor.
In the end, no one was seriously hurt. Moreno said, "There were hundreds of people in the hotel. It was our duty to help them."

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), 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, and most seed-free part — and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father's ideal 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.
