That means the island's animals and plants are protected from being harmed by people. Mona Island is different from most places because people are not allowed to live there. Only a few park rangers are able to stay.
The park rangers' job is to keep Mona Island safe and beautiful. They insist that rules be followed. One rule is that only 100 people at a time can visit the island. That way. The park rangers can make sure the land and animals remain safe.

Visitors can also explore caves. Some of the caves even have paintings and drawings on the walls. This artwork was made by the Arawak and Taíno Indians who lived on the island hundreds of years ago.
After a full day of fun activities, visitors can settle in, listen to the night sounds. And view the stars in the huge sky.

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),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 the 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.
B. a fashion magazine D. a chat show
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.
( )11. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling .
A. relaxed
B.worried
C.hungry
D. proud
( )12. 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.
( )13. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie .
A. was just a rich businessman C. lived a rich but healthy life
B. worked hard all the time D. knew how to make money
( )14. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon\" in the last paragraph refers to .
A. the best part of the watermelon C. the writer's decision of making money ( )15. It can be learned from the passage that.

The Happiness in My Life
Our life is full of happiness. I can feel happy from time to time.
Last term. I was chosen to take part in the English Speech Contest. I was nervous when 1 heard the news, because I was always afraid of speaking in public. I wondered if I could succeed and I wanted to give up. My English teacher Mary noticed that. She had a long talk with me and
encouraged me to challenge myself. After that I kept practicing every day. When I got the first prize in the contest. I felt happy from my deep heart.
My happiness is not only from my teacher's encouragement but also from the success through my hard work. Hope you can experience your own happiness in your life.
