Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by --- the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ② ----

High-climbing kid raises hopes
Michael McCarthy climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1451 feet (442 meters) tall, the highest building in the US.
As he got to the last step, McCarthy almost fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he enjoyed the cheers from the crowd.
“I just want to show people that if a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢)and use a set of crutches(拐杖)to walk. But McCarthy has a strong heart. He believes nothing can stop him from achieving his success.
He has been in a karate(空手道)school since he was four years old. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his karate teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved and offered to help train him. They spent more than 10 hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prostheses and crutches on the steps every day. “It seems that he never knows what tiredness is. Sometimes, I was so tired that I asked him to call it a day,” said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more exercise.”
Kohn was with McCarthy for the climb. “I saw the last 10 floors — he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the most hard-working athlete I’ve ever trained.”
McCarthy said he was proud of himself and that the Tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll point to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed,” he said.

When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call us. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We would sit on the edge of the dock (碼頭) , feet dangling (搖晃) , and getting 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, sweetest 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 (財富) 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 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.
46. From paragraph 2, we learned that the writer and his father were felling _______.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. angry
47. 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.
48. 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. only knew how to make money
49. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money D. the best part of pleasant life
50. 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
