20．　　It's a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The British are all working in their gardens. They're digging, cutting leaves and planting new seeds (种子). By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colours.
　　The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Around 70% of the people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over 50% of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.
　　Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. People who live in houses without gardens often rent (租用) land from the government.
　　At first, only very rich people had gardens. You can still see the gardens around houses with a long history, such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. In the early twentieth century, however, gardening became a hobby. People bought different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they originally (起初) grew wild in other countries.
　　Every year, there are competitions for the largest vegetables, but don't expect to win; Britain's biggest carrot is almost six metres long.

21．　　While many young people were enjoying the summer vacations, Zach Bonner was working his hardest. Zach started walking from Valrico, Florida, his hometown, on Christmas, 2009. He reached Los Angeles nine months later in September, 2010. He covered a total of 2, 478 miles and raised ￥120, 000 for kids in need. Along the way, Zach attended school online. His mother, brother and sister took turns to walk or drive together with him.
　　Although he is very young, Zach has a long history of helping others. When a terrible storm hit town in 2004, Zach, when six, pulled a wagon (小推车) through his community and collected food for people in need.
　　He has raised ￥400, 000 for his Little Red Wagon Foundation since then. It gives money to projects which help homeless children. In 2007, Zach began walking to support a children's charity (慈善组织) in Tampa, Florida. He finished his journey 23 years later, 280 miles away in Tallahassee. Then in the summer of 2009, he trekked about 670 miles from Atlanta to Washington, D. C. , in just two months.
　　"As long as there are homeless kids, I will never stop walking for them," Zach says.

22．　　As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.
　　The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.
　　The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
　　The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.
　　Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.

23．　　There is a saying that "honesty is the best policy (策略)". Tell the truth and good things will happen. This is just the way it is.
　　Long ago, a homeless man was walking in a busy market. On the ground in front of him, he saw a leather(皮制的) purse. Upon opening it, he found 100 gold coins inside. The beggar was hungry. He had no home. He even wanted to keep the purse. Suddenly, he heard the cry of a rich man. "I have lost my money bag!" he shouted. "I offer a big reward (酬谢) to anyone who finds it and returns it to me." The homeless man gave the rich man back his money.
　　However, the rich man had other plans. He opened the bag and said, "There are only 100 gold coins inside. The purse I lost had 200 gold coins. You must have stolen the rest. You will have no reward from me." The beggar went to the court to settle the matter.
　　A wise judge said, "Rich man, you say you lost a purse containing 200 gold coins. However, the beggar found a purse containing only 100 gold coins. I know that his purse can't be the one you lost."
　　So the judge gave the purse to the person who had found it, as no rightful owner had come forward to prove it was his. And that is why, in the end, honesty truly is the best policy.
