Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics 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 . A hero has powers 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 _ 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. Question: If you want to live like a hero, you should _ . Options: 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

Q: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend . She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think. My daughter continued her "conversation," as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?" And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So, let the cobwebs have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore . I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another. Question: What can we learn from this passage? Options: A: The mother shouldn't blame her daughter. B: The mother should spend enough time with her daughter. C: The mother shouldn't carry responsibilities that many. D: The mother should pay attention to her daughter's words.
A: B
