Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.

You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.
"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.
To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.
"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.

Meyer felt and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, "I've just sold your for one and a half million dollars!"
She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged (气馁的), not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never . Seeing this book published was the most thing that has ever happened to her.
Now she is a of three children, but she has never stopped , turning out novels between kids and dishes. She is writing another novel now, and she expects another success.
