It’s generally agreed that heroes are great and always admired by common people. However, most of us 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 usually put others before and does his/her best to help people in need. A hero has a special story to tell and is thought highly of by people. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (名声). A hero has powers larger than himself/herself. 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 (视野) from the mountaintop. He/She has the power to move people. He/She 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 colors 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. 1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.How to be a hero. B.What a hero is like. C.The fame of a hero. D.The lifestyle of a hero. 2.What is a sure test for people who want to be heroes? A.What or whom they serve. B.Money they make in all. C.Experience they get for life. D.How or when to serve others. 3.Why did Americans take different buses before Martin Luther King, Jr.? A.Because they liked different buses. B.Because of the rules of bus companies. C.Because of the different colors of their skin. D.Because they made different amount of money. 4.What can we learn from the text? A.We don’t need heroes any more. B.People living just for fame can be heroes. C.Heroes make the society develop slowly. D.Heroes are able to create new possibilities.
