Franklin’s ships had everything they needed . They had enough food in tins for three years and thousands of litres of lemon juice to stop disease. They also had two libraries with 3,000 books , excellent maps , scientific instruments , musical instruments and a new invention: a camera.

The government offered ￡20,000 to anybody who could help Franklin or anybody who had information about Frailklin . Nobody came with information .
Then, in August 1850 some sailors found the first signs of the Franklin Expedition while  they were searching on Devon Island: some old food tins , some papers , and , something very  strange , the graves of three men . The men all died in January 1846 while Franklin was waiting in Baffin Bay for the ice to melt . But why did they die?

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 (碼頭), feet dangling (搖晃), 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.
小題1:We learn from the second paragraph the writer and his father were feeling_____.
A．hungryB．worriedC．relaxedD．proud
小題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.
小題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
小題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
小題5:It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A．one has to work hard to reach his goal
B．a(chǎn) friend in need is a friend in deed
C．watermelon is the healthiest fruit
D．one should keep work-life balance
