16、tudy at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman. Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. this film was a great success and inspired three sequels(续集). Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of
17、part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really required(要求) him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time
18、, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve
19、 was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired(退休) from the production of films after his paralysis.

20、立的).36. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life _.

23、rmance in Somewhere in Time D. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center B Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)grea
24、t differences in cultures heroes around the world generally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve pow
25、ers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热
26、情), and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim tha
27、t their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众).

28、nd Martin Luther King Jr. , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks.
