As doctors were racing against the time ...

    As doctors were racing against the time to save patients infected with the novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), thousands of volunteers also stepped up to play supporting roles in fighting against the epidemic(疫情)in Wuhan. And among them are some foreigners.

Philippe Klein, a French doctor, who has been in Wuhan for six years, chose to stick to his post. Since the outbreak(暴发)of the epidemic, Klein has been busy caring for foreign patients in the city, giving diagnoses(诊断)and treatments at their homes. He said, "I like Wuhan and the friendly people of Wuhan. I am a doctor, so I have to do my job and do my duty. I'm proud that I stayed."

Sina Karami from Iran works as a barista(咖啡师)at a cafe named Wakanda. It is two years since she and her brother lived in Wuhan. After the outbreak of the epidemic, Sina's brother decided to go back to Iran and wanted Sina to go with him, but Sina's choice was to stay. There are several hospitals near the cafe treating patients with the novel coronavirus. Her cafe delivered coffee to nearby hospitals free every day, offering support to the medical staff. Sina said, "I won't leave Wuhan at this difficult moment. Despite the risks brought by the epidemic, the fearlessness of the medical staff impresses me, and I will also not retreat-instead, I will continue to provide help to the medical staff."

Haroon Nomaan, a Pakistan engineer working for Lenovo in Wuhan, also volunteered to help coordinate(协调)overseas projects and translate custom clearance documents in English and Urdu in a team of 83. "I hope that this crisis(危机)will be over soon, and as long as I'm needed, I'm more than happy to do this, whatever the time," he said.

What these international friends have done shows that "Virus knows no borders, but the worst of times reveals the best in people."

    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(码头), and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take out 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 watermelons, 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. If you don't take the time to dangle(摇摆)your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work will probably hurt your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the 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.How were the watermelons to the writer when he was young?

A.Not common. B.Not cheap. C.Not delicious. D.Not sweet.

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.

3.What did the writer's father think of Bernie?

A.He was just a rich businessman. B.He worked hard all the time.

C.He lived a rich but healthy life. D.He knew how to make money.

4.What do the underlined words "the heart of the watermelon" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The best part of the watermelon. B.The writer's busy life.

C.The writer's decision of making money. D.The writer's hope of enjoying life.

5.What can be learned from the text?

A.One has to work hard to reach his goal. B.One should help a friend in trouble.

C.Watermelon is the healthiest fruit. D.One should keep work and life balance.
