22、Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a forest when he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree. There was also a box of chalk（粉笔）beside the blackboard. The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the board: first a tree, then a rabbit, then a flower...

To his surprise, whenever he finished drawing a picture, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard. Very soon, the place became a wonderful green forest, full of animals playing happily.

Excitedly, the boy also drew his parents, brothers and sisters who were enjoying a picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meat. He also drew the paper plates and the empty bottles that he and his family threw on the ground when they had a picnic before. But when the rubbish came to life, something awful（糟糕的）happened: around every paper plate and every empty bottle, the forest turned grey, and the greyness started spreading（传播）everywhere quickly to the grass, to the flowers, to the animals... Then the boy realized it was all because of the rubbish, so he ran through the forest and cleaned the blackboard. The forest turned green again, and the animals played together for the rest of the day.

The boy never saw that blackboard again. But now, every time he goes for a picnic with his family, he is the first to pick up the rubbish. And he is sure to remind the others that anything left lying in the woods can do much damage（破坏）to the animals.

23、Dear Tony,

I’ve been busy last few weeks, even though all the tests are over and we hardly have any homework. I’m busy preparing for an English spelling competition and volunteering in a museum. But I still keep reading.

I have just finished a funny book series called I Funny, I Even Funnier and I Totally Funniest. They talk about a kid, Jamie Grimm, who got in a car accident and had to move in a wheel. Because his parents died in the accident, Jamie had to live with his aunt and uncle. His aunt didn’t treat him well, and his cousin always made fun of him. Luckily, his uncle Frankie often helped him and was nice to him. One day, Jamie was telling jokes in his uncle’s restaurant. Then, his uncle told him to take part in the joke contest. The three books show his journey in the joke contest from city, state and country.

There are some really funny jokes in the books. I often laughed out loudly and told my mom one of the jokes. It’s too late today. I will share some with you next time.

24、Hope matters

Reyes Guana, 42, grew up in a poor Mexican family. He has seven brothers and sisters. His parents always had two jobs to make ends meet.

As a boy, Guana had a good relationship with the school cleaner. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. The boy liked how Nike made everything clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. “Well, it’s good if you want to be a cleaner,” Nike told little Guana. “But make sure you go to college.”

Guana also looked up to the principal（校长）of his school. The school leader told the boy that his job was to help students and teachers. “Wow, when I grow up, I want to do what you’re doing,” Guana told him. “Well, if you stick to your dream, you will,” the principal replied.

And Guana really got there. But it was quite a long journey for him. Twenty-three years ago, he followed in Nike’s footsteps and was cleaning schools. He worked at three schools to pay for his college education. He held that job for four years and then worked his way up to being a school safety monitor. After that, he worked as a teacher for a few years.

Now, as a principal, Guana never forgets where he came from. He helps students from poor families and shows respect（尊重）for every school staff member. He always invites everyone to school parties, including those who clean the floors and those who drive the school buses.
