    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.

    1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______. A. relaxed


    B. worried


    C. hungry


    D. proud
    2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. C. They ate every part of it.





    B. They only ate its best part. D. They shared only one piece.

    People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
    But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.
    Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.
    Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

    I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”
    I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的”. But she lived “on the surface(表面”.
    As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅 me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment(失望, then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠 and refolded many times.

    An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore (药店 with the money in her hand. “And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.
    “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
    “Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
    “I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
    “How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered. “Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
    He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
    That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again. How much did the miracle cost?

    An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now, ” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore （药店） with the money in her hand. “And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “It‘s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We don‘t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry, ” the salesman said with a smile. “Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
    A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”
    “I don’t know” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can‘t pay for it, so I have brought all my money. “How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
    He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
    That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again. How much did the miracle cost？ 1. What was the trouble in the little girl's family？

    Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.

    There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.

    The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”

    The ticket lady told him the price.
    The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”


    The ticket lady again told him the price.

    2020届中考英语阅读理解50篇(含答案
    The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
    Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55! I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. “The scores were not very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.” A 55 . That’s me!
    Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
    I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?”
    “I made a 55,” I said.
    A frown (皱眉 now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference.
    “You failed!” my father replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted.
    “I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said.
    For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
    We often don’t understand the wisdom (智慧 of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
    1. The word groaning is the closest in meaning to ___________ . A. singing

    B. laughing


    C. complaining

    Once upon a time, a young man was standing in the middle of the town announcing that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. A large crowd gathered, and they all praised his heart for it was perfect.
    Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “why, your heart is not as beautiful as mine.”
    The old man’ s heart was full of scars (伤疤. Some pieces of his heart were removed and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn’t fit quite right. So there were several jagged(锯齿状的 edges. In fact, there were still some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.
    The young man laughed, “Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess.”“Yes,”said the old man. “But, every scar shows that I took out a piece of my heart and gave it to a person ,and often he gave me a piece of his heart in return.”
    “Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart?” asked the young man. “Because the shapes of the pieces weren’t the same.” “Then the holes ?”
    “Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t given back a piece of his , so …but I don’t care.”
    “How come?”
    “They remind me of the love we shared.”
    The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man , took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man.
    The old man placed it in his heart ,then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound(伤口 in the young man’s heart . It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
    The young man looked at his heart ,not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever. How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!

    When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course ,”they answered.
    “How do you know ?”was my logical question.They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?”They agreed that getting good gradws,followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.
    I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different response.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
    One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her.This had never happened before,but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and

    Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.
    The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
    At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?
    （ ）56. What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean? A. light



    B. small



    C. big and heavy

    D. old
    （ ） 57. What would Indians do to solve（解决）the problem?

    Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
    The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
    Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. （ ）61. The best title（标题）of the passage is ________. A. Money Makes You Happy


    B. The Secrets of Happiness
    C. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy D. Good Friends Make You Happy （ ）62. The second paragraph tells us that ________.
