20．Like many people，I have no clear idea about heroes．At some point，we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is．
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures，heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics （特点） which give us courage and make us want to learn from them．
A hero does something worth talking about．A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it．But a hero is not just the person with great fame （声誉）．
A hero has powers （力量） larger than himself．Some people want to live like a hero，and they have to experience life with new and further meaning．A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve．What do they want to live and die for？If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame，they may be famous persons but not heroes．
A hero has a vision from the mountaintop．He has the power to move people．He creates new possibilities．Without Gandhi，India might still be part of Britain．Without Martin Luther King，Jr．，Americans might take different buses，eat in different restaurants，go for walks in different parks，and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin．
There might be changes in society without a hero，but the speed of change would be rather slow．Thanks to heroes in history，they make the society develop so rapidly．

19．When we watch a football match or see a film，we often see people put out their fingers to form（形成）a"V"．Perhaps you don't know what it means and how it gets the meaning．Here is a story to answer the question．
During the Second World War（战争），there was a Belgian（比利时）young people．He called himself Victor．He ran to England and worked for a radio station in London．He spoke to his country in his programmes every day in a hope that it could help his people win the war．One day at the end of 1940，he asked his people to write the letter"V"to show their strong wish to win the victory（胜利）．

18．Clothes are important and necessary to us，but do you know how to choose suitable clothes in a correct way？Here are some ideas for you．
When you go shopping and want to buy some clothes，you should think about which kind of clothes you really need and decide how much money you can spend on them．Then look at the labels that are inside the new clothes．They tell you how to take care of the clothes．The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water．A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water．The label on a coat may say"dry clean only"and cleaning in water may ruin（损坏）this coat．If you do as the directions say on the label，you can keep your clothes looking their best．
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned．Dry cleaning is expensive．When buying new clothes you had better check if they need to be dry-cleaned．You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed or that are well made．Well-made clothes last longer．They look good even after they have been washed many times．
