21、   Many boys and girls love to watch TV. They spend many hours a day in front of the TV set. There are many kinds of TV programs, such as soap operas, movies, talent shows and so on.

22、Alison cornered me in the kitchen. “Daddy, I really want a rat!”

“Again?” I saw the ugly grey things with round eyes and long tails in my mind.

This topic was around in our family for about one year. This time, Alison told me seriously how she would take care of the rat herself, and how she would learn to be responsible. I wanted to say “no” as usual, but it was not the right reply for this situation.

“Well, you should at least do some research about rats: How much do they cost? What care do they need?” I said, thinking that the answers she’d find might change her mind.

But Alison acted. She searched for information and made many notes. She learned what the best cage for rats is and what types of food they can (and can’t) eat. She even learned that two rats are better than one—they like staying together.

I finally gave in. We called up several pet stores, asking for baby rats. One store told us it just received some that would be ready on sale in a week. Alison was so excited—her dream would come true soon.

On Sunday afternoon, I drove Alison there. I must say, the rats were much cuter than I’d imagined.

Alison carefully picked out two little ones with her soft little hands. She cradled the cage with them, singing with a huge smile.

“I can’t believe I have them after a year of begging!”

“It wasn’t your begging.” I told her, “You showed me you were responsible, so I wanted to reward that!”

23、Ethan was a 14-year-old boy who was born without legs. He had to wear prosthetic legs（假肢）and used walking sticks to walk. But he had a strong heart. He believed nothing could stop him from achieving his success. So he decided to climb the Willis Tower, which was the highest building in the USA.

Ethan started to learn karate（空手道）when he was four years old. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his karate teacher, Jeff Kohn, was deeply moved and offered to help train him. They spent more than 10 hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance（平衡）on the steps every day.
