Last week Ireceived a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my storieshad saved her son from com
24、mitting suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burningcar? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someones life?Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see
25、 exactly what it meant. It read“a person who does something brave”.As I read on, it also said “a person who is good and noble.”That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about somethingvery important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened
26、to open, and hold thedoor for someone as a courtesy. As they passed by, I say, “How are you today?” Most of the time thatwould be no big deal, but this time lets say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near theend of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy sh
27、own to them in a verylong time.Having been near “the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such acondition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When Ireturned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much t
28、hey would appreciateme as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it,saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn thatmakes the person who sent me the card a double hero.
29、 I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help thechildren now living in orphanages(孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a veryhard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not beenforgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt
30、 anyone because of the ki ndness shown to them bythose of us who cared. If it works, we will also become “heroes”.Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just bybeing kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free
31、to all who wishto wear such an honor.51. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Why Should You Be A Hero?B. What Exactly IsA Hero?初三英语试卷第 3页C. IAm AHeroD.

33、he sender was a true friendBI grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my fathers words for theseasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in thetown every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things
34、. It was thebusiest time of the year.When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family.Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking.

35、 have meals there. Grandmawas always happy to look after them.Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandmabecame very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma in herhouse. We did our best to make her day-to-day life a
36、s comfortable as possible. I was at high schoolthen.What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspapers crossword puzzle.However, she didnt look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fa
37、ir. One day, when I cameback from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a bigsmile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “Theysaid the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house aga
38、in,” Grandma saidhappily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party.

Grandmas FamilyCMost people follow others blindly just because they feel it safe to follow a large number of people.In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd, but in most cases this can be a big mistake. Infact there are reasons why we shouldnt follow the crowd blindly.A

This means a large number of people could be following others without understandingwhats right and whats wrong! This makes more people follow and as a result most people move in acertain dire
43、ction even if it isnt right.Aman who wants to be successful always hopes for others guidance and he usually follows thesame path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is: are all of those peoplesuccessful? Of course not! If you want to follow a crowd, then follow a successful
44、one.
