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 f ame(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 fa mous 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 tak e 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.

( ) 1. According to this p assage, a hero is a person who always __________.

A. gives us courage B. thinks highly of others

C. shares great fame D. stands on the mountaintop

( ) 2. I f you want to live like a hero, you should __________.

A. experience a new and meaningful life B. listen to something worth talking about

C. serve your own fame and try to be famous D. know where and how you want to live and die

( ) 3. The underlined word “vision” in the passage means “__________”.

A. 风景 B. 想象 C. 远见 D. 形象

( ) 4. Black people in America used to __________ before Martin Luther King, Jr.

A. shop at the white’s stores B. drive buses with the white

C. take walks in the whit e’s parks D. eat in restaurants without the white

( ) 5. What can we learn from the passage?

A. We don’t need he roes anymore at some point now.

B. Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.

C. People get power from heroes to move to a new place.

D. Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.

Popeye the Sailor Man(《大力水手》)first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜)to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33% more spinach than before!

Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else that the body needs—folic acid(叶酸).

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

( ) 1 . What is the best title for this passage?

A. Popeye the Sailor Man B. A Mistake with Numbers

C. Folic Acid Makes You Strong D. The T ruth about Spinach

( ) 2. Why did many people eat sp inach after they saw Popeye the Sailor Man?

A. Because they though t spinach could make them strong.

B. Because they thought Popeye was funny.

C. Because spinach had a lot of iron.

D. Because people liked folic acid.

( ) 3. The passage says that perhaps Po peye go his strength from .

A. iron B. spinach C. folic acid D. exercise

( ) 4. Folic acid is .

A. something in food B. a vegetable C. dangerous D. a certain kind of spinach

( ) 5. A research group told people that spinach .

A. had l ess iron than other green vegetable

B. had more iron than other green vegetable

C. made Popeye strong

D. was a green vegetable
