24、Mark, a 10-year-old boy, decided to study judo (柔道), although he didn’t have his left arm because of a car accident at the age of 6.

Mark began lessons with an old judo teacher. He was doing well, but his teacher taught him only one move for three months. “Sir,” he finally said, “I want to learn more moves.”

“This move is enough,” the teacher answered. He didn’t quite understand but kept practicing.

A few months later, the teacher took him to his first competition. The boy easily won his first three games. At last, he was now in the finals (决赛). He couldn’t believe it!

This time, his opponent (对手) was stronger and more experienced because the opponent was the winner of the last year’s competition. The referee (裁判) was afraid that he might get hurt, so he wanted to stop the game.

“No,” the teacher said, “let him go on.”

At first, Mark seemed to be losing. But he didn’t give up. Soon, his opponent made a big mistake. Mark quickly used his move on him and he won the game!

On the way home, he asked his teacher, “Sir, how could I win with the only one move?”

26、

Hello, this is your gardening adviser. Now, just as our garden are at their most colorful, and most productive time, what do we do? We'll go off on holiday. What I suggest you do is this: invite a friend or neighbor to help you. You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you return, but first make sure that he knows how to do it. What he should not do is throw water over the leaves of the plants themselves, because if he does that, it will invite diseases. Also for the same reason, ask him if he can possibly water in the morning, rather than in the evening.

If you haven't got a greenhouse, there is one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away, and this is how you do it. Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath. Yes, the bath! Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are all wet. Now put the flower pots (花盆) to stand on the wet paper, go off holiday, and they should be alive and well when you return in two weeks' time.

Thank you for calling. Goodbye and good gardening!
