( D )
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 (码头) , feet dangling (摇晃) , 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 （财富） 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
