18、, a small vegetable that looks like a pumpkin(南瓜) may appear in a garden near you. The vegetable is a type of pepper that is called” Lil Pumpkin”. It is very special because it has orange, pumpkin-like fruit. You might think that all vegetables are grown to provide food to eat. But some vegetables a

19、re growing mainly for the lively color and holiday spirit that they bring to gardens. These are called “ornamentals（观赏性植物）”. Just like ornaments decorate a Christmas tree, they decorate a garden. The peppers were produced by Agricultural Research Service(ARS) scientists John Stommel and Robert Gries

20、bach. Another pepper the scientists developed is called “Pepper Jack”.

27、ate that there are several keys to success that successful people share. First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control some things in life, suc

28、h as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successful people from others is

29、 that they live their life “on purpose” they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main conce
