Your 327.5-pound watermelon broke the fair's record last year. How did you even get it to the fair in one piece I used four guys and a tarp made with special handles. We rolled the watermelon onto one side, put the tarp underneath it, and rolled it back onto the other side. Then everybody grabbed a corner, and we slid it into the back of my hatchback car. You must be quite the sight on the road. We'll be driving on the interstate and people will pull up right beside us-it's borderline dangerous. My wife takes a piece of paper and writes down the weight because people always mouth "How much " and you just hold up the paper to tell them. Do you use some kind of magic seeds We use Carolina Cross. It's the only variety that gets this big. We breed our own. We even hand-pollinate them. What's the hardest thing about growing a 300-pound watermelon The rabbits and mice, because they'll chew on the vines. I put out mousetraps, and I have a BB gun. I even put coyote urine around the garden because coyotes are a natural predator. Rabbits won't go near it if they think coyotes are out.

True to their reputation as leisure loving gourmets, the French spend more time sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world's wealthy nations, according to a study published on Monday.
The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night, more than an hour longer than the average Japanese and Korean, who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Despite their siesta habit, Spaniards rank only third in the poll after Americans, who sleep more than 8.5 hours.
And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast-food chains these days or wolf down a sandwich at their desk, they still spend more than two hours a day eating. That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican, who dedicates just over an hour a day to food. The Japanese, scrimping on sleep and burdened with long commutes and working hours, still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and drinking, placing them third behind New Zealanders. Despite the moderate amount of time Americans spend eating each day - about an hour and a quarter -U. S obesity rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD.
The Japanese like to spend what remains of their scarce free time watching television or listening to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Turks, on the other hand, spend more than a third of their leisure time entertaining friends. Norwegians spend the most time at leisure, just over a quarter of their day, while at the low end, Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun. The OECD has 30 members. The survey covers only the countries for which appropriate figures were available.
1. _______ rank second in the survey of sleep from OECD.
A. Frenchmen
B. Japanese and Koreans
C. Spaniards
D. Americans
2. Which of the following is true in the second paragraph
A. French people used to have a sandwich at their desk for lunch.
B. The Japanese spend more time sleeping, commuting and working
C. There are more fat people in the USA than in other member states of OECD.
D. Mexicans spend the moderate amount of time eating every day.
3. Who will spend the least time eating
A. French people
B. Mexicans
C. Japanese
D. New Zealanders
4. If you come from Turkey, you would like to spend your free time ________.
A. watching television
