On August 18,2012, the White House workers prepared for a special group of guests(宾客). The First Lady was hosting an important lunch.

At 10:00, her guests arrived. Fifty-four children, each with a parent or grandparent, walked into the White House. The lucky guests were the winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. It was a competition created by the First Lady a few months ago. She asked kids ages 8 to 12 to think up healthy, delicious lunch recipes(食谱).Winners from across the country, one from every state, were brought to Washington, DC, for the “state dinner”.
At the start of the meal, the First Lady welcomed her guests and congratulated them on winning the competition. “You were the winner in your state――the whole state,” she said. “You guys won! Cool!” She also explained what made the recipes win. “You thought of dishes that are good for you, but more importantly, they taste good, too,” she said.
Just before the dessert time, Michelle stood up to make an announcement(宣告). “We have a special guest who wanted to stop by and say hello,” she explained. “So it’s pleasant to introduce the President of the United States.”
The president walked to each table, shaking hands with the winners and their family members. For the kids, this was the icing on the cake. “It was amazing to watch the President,” Kayla, one winner said. “His visit was a surprise and that’s a really big meal.”

  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).

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.

1.We learn from the second paragraph the writer and his father were feeling_____.

A. hungry B. worried C. relaxed D. proud

2.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.

3.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

4.The underlined part "the heart of the watermelon" in the last paragraph refers to ______.

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

5.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
