21、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）, 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, 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 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.

22、       Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

Mrs. Woo Meifong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

23、   Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting ( 限 制 ) the amount of time they can spend online.   They complain that their parents share too many photos of them online.

In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share an average (平均) of 116 photos of their kids after they were born. Most were taken before the child turned 8 years old. Many of the photos showed kids in embarrassing ( 尴 尬 的 ) situations like having food all over their faces. Quartz reported.

Parents do like to share their child’s progress as he or she grows up. But their kid doesn’t like it as much. In a survey of UK children between the ages of 12 and 16, 70 percent said they felt their parents didn’t respect (尊重) their online privacy (隐私) according to Digital Parenting Magazine.

In addition, many kids said that other students at school sometimes pick on them after their parents post photos online, CBS News noted. In one case, a girl was bullied (欺负) by boys at school after they found her mom’s blog. There were many family photos in the blog.

“Each time a photo or video is uploaded, it creates a digital footprint of a child, which can follow them into adult life,” a spokeswoman for a leading children’s charity in the UK said. “It’s always important to ask children for their permission before posting or videos of them.”

【1】Which sentence can be put in the blank of the first paragraph?

A.It is necessary for parents to do so because some children have spent lots of time on the Internet.

B.And they have also made more rules to control the time children spend on online activity.

C.But some children in the US and UK are saying they’d like to make rules for parents too.

【2】The second paragraph shows us   .

A.the fact of sharing photos of kids in the US

B.a study from the US and UK

C.embarrassing situations of kids

【3】Kids don’t like their parents to share their photos because they think   .

A.their photos are not beautiful enough

B.parents should respect their privacy

C.hey may be bullied at home or school

【4】The underlined phrase “pick on” may mean   .

A.捉弄 B.捡起 C.发现

【5】From the passage, we can know that the writer   .

A.encourages more parents to share their children’s photos online

Sleep is not the same every night. We experience some deep sleep and some active sleep(积极睡眠), which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking(梦游)would happen in active sleep, but a person isn’t physically active   d【1】active sleep.

Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave(慢波)or deep sleep. Not all sleepwalkers a【2】walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake when, in fact, they’re asleep!

Sleepwalkers’ e【3】are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake and often think they’re in different rooms of the house or different places altogether. Sleepwalkers tend(倾向于)to go back to bed on their own and they won’t r【4】it in the morning. Doctors say sleepwalking sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting e【5】sleep, or is stressed. But occasional(偶然的)sleepwalking generally isn’t something to worry about, a【6】it may look funny or even scary(惊恐的)for the people who see a sleepwalker in action.

It’s important, of course, that the person is kept safe. Precautions(预防措施)should be t【7】so the person is less likely to fall down, run into something, or walk out the front door while sleepwalking.
