19.It takes a lot of skills and hard work to set a world record in pumpkin-carving(雕刻南瓜).Steve Clarke,a sixth-grade teacher from Pennsylvania,is a famous carver(雕刻师).Clarke has set many world records for carving pumpkins quickly.When he competes,he must cut our two eyes,two eyebrows,a nose,a mouth,and two ears as fast as possible.But Clarke knows something else about pumpkin-carving.It's easier to get a record than to keep it.He took the title in 2000hen he carved a pumpkin face in 74.8seconds.That time was 19seconds faster than what Jerry had set.From then on,Clarke broke his own records five times.In 2006,he set his best time in Florida.His winning time was 24.03seconds!
