Batman, Jubilee, the X-Men—all are superheroes. What makes a superhero? Let’s look at seven things that superheroes share.

1. Nearly all superheroes have super-human powers. For example, Superman can fly, and Wonder Woman can talk with animals.

2. A secret identity（身份）helps protect the superhero’s family and friends. In a few cases friends and family know the superhero’s identity—that Spider-Man is really Peter Parker or that Bruce Banner is actually the Hulk.

3. A colorful costume helps the public make out the superhero, and at the same time it hides his or her identity.

4. All superheroes are honest and own a strong moral code（道德準則）. They respect the law but will break it if doing so will lead to the greater good. Superheroes expect no reward and seldom kill people.

5. There are always enemies who have similar powers for Superheroes to fight against.

6. As a child, Bruce Wayne saw a man kill his parents. He began training hard and later became Batman. The backstory tells how the superhero actually became the superhero we know. Superheroes are seldom born that way.

7. A weakness can make a superhero helpless. This is also what makes him or her interesting. To succeed they must overcome this weakness.

The superhero is perhaps not so different from us. It is the purpose of the story that speaks to us. They tell important truths about human nature. The superhero is a symbol of our hopes and goals. These are what we see in ourselves. And the superhero’s enemies are our own fears, such as crime and war. The superhero often loses but never, ever gives up. This is a lesson we can all learn from. Like us, the superhero is not perfect, but that’s exactly what makes a true hero.

1.Which picture best describes “costume” in Paragraph 4?

A. B. C. D.

2.Superheroes have special costumes________.

A.to frighten the enemy B.to hide their identities

C.to show off D.to make out their members

3.What do superheroes have in common?

A.Super powers over animals. B.An identity unknown to their family.

C.A strong moral code. D.Super powers from birth.

4.Why does the writer point out the similarities between superheroes and us?

A.To encourage us to try to be perfect.

B.To advise us to act like superheroes.

C.To show that having weaknesses is of human nature.

D.To prove that superheroes have the same enemies as us.

5.What lesson can we learn from the superheroes?

A.Never give up. B.Never set a life goal.

C.Always hope for the best. D.Always learn to tell stories.

In their last moments before the flight took off, I heard a father saying to his daughter, “I love you. I wish you enough.” The daughter said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too.” They kissed goodbye and the daughter left. I could see the father was very sad.

Suddenly the father walked towards me and asked me, “Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it might be the last time?”

His words made me think of my father. Realizing that my father’s days were limited (有限的), I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I understood what this father was experiencing.

“Yes, I did,” I answered. “But why is this a last goodbye?”

“I am old and my daughter lives much too far away. Maybe her next trip back will be for my funeral (葬禮),” he said.

“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. What does that mean?”

He began to smile. “My parents said it to me before. When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with enough good things.” He stopped for a moment and continued, “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude (觀點) bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate (欣賞) the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger ... I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Goodbye’”.

He then said goodbye to me and walked away.

The Fairy Penguin

Webbed feet

Fairy penguins live on the land and in the sea. They are very good swimmers but they cannot fly. They eat small fish.

Fairy penguins breed (繁殖) on land. The mother penguins lay two white eggs in a hole. The mother and father penguins share the job of sitting on the eggs.

Americans love cars. They go everywhere in them. 8 5％of people in the US go to and from work by car. And most adults have driving licenses. Why does this car culture exist?

America’s love of cars started after the war(戰(zhàn)爭)when soldiers returned home from World War II to rebuild their lives. They borrowed money from the government to buy houses and cars which became the symbols of status(地位). The more money they had, the bigger their cars were.

Making of roads

During the war, President Eisenhower noticed what good roads Germany had. He decided to build new four-lane(四車道)roads in America. He said if something happened suddenly, the two-lane roads wouldn’t be able to carry all the cars that would suddenly leave the cities. Car and oil companies liked his idea and building started.

Car lover

Not just teenagers are crazy about cars. Some Americans love their cars so much that they paint their cars beautifully. These are called Art Cars. Every April there is an activity in Houston, Texas, where they show their cars.

Pollution

Cars have polluted the environment. American President Bush refused a worldwide law that is against pollution. Many countries were angry about it. Bush said he had to think of the American economy(經(jīng)濟)and all the American people that make money from cars. Factories say they want to make cars that pollute less.

4.What were other countries’ feelings about Bush’s decision?

C.They paid no attention to it. D.The passage doesn’t tell us.

5.What does the last sentence mean?

B.It’s better to make cars that pollute less.
