If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice.

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.
【小题1】Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ___________.

A.will work hardB.will become heroes
C.will follow herD.will achieve her goal
【小题2】The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
A.志愿者B.记者C.政客D.名人
【小题3】From the passage we know that ___________.
A.there are fewer heroes than before
B.many common people set examples to us
C.heroes should be polite, patient and famous
D.heroes have to do some great things
【小题4】The best title for this passage is ___________.
A.What Heroes DoB.Who Are Heroes

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
【小题1】What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?

A.Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty.
B.Local people lose jobs.
C.A lot of hotels are built.
D.Too many tourists cause traffic problems.
【小题2】What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?
A.Make plans properly.
B.Help the country’s economy.
C.Build fewer hotels.
D.Advance the well-being of local people.
【小题3】If tourism grows too quickly, ___________.
A.businesses will lose money
B.other parts of the country’s economy will make more money
C.local people will be happier
D.more local people will work for tourists.
【小题4】Support facilities needed by tourist attractions includes ___________.
①public places ②hotels ③airports ④roads ⑤electricity  ⑥sewers  
A.①②③④⑤B.②③④⑤⑥C.①②③⑤⑥D.①③④⑤⑥
【小题5】If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________.
A.whether people need to build more hotels
B.whether people need to plan tourism properly
C.how to deal with the problems above
