It"s not easy to be an astronaut"s son．Everybody expects(期望) you to be special or perfect．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he"s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special - like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father"s Day writing competition for the whole school "I hope we have a winner right here in my class．"
When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I wouldn"t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn"t just a world-famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced（宣布） and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，"My father"s son"．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother"s face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．"Son，this is the proudest moment of my life．""
It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I"ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father"s son．

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 fame (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 famous 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 take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors 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.
小题1:According to this passage, 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 |
小题2:If 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 |
小题3:The underlined word “vision” in the passage means “__________”.小题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 white’s parks | | D．eat in restaurants without the white |
小题5: What can we learn from the passage?| A．We don’t need heroes 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. |
