  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(特點(diǎn))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(聲譽(yù)).

  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 colours 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.

  Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf,a cartoon film based on a popular Chinese cartoon TV series,has won the hearts of children in China.

  The Chinese cartoon began to be shown in public on January 16,2009,the first day of the winter holiday for Chinese primary school students.The children seemed to go straight from the school to the cinema.

  Two weeks after its release(首次上映),the cartoon film got a box office income(票房收入)of 68 million yuan,bigger than that of all American film Madagascar 2,which was released in China on January 1,2009.

  “I think it is more interesting than Madagascar 2,”said 8-year-old Wang Lu,who had seen both the Chinese and American cartoon films.

  However,some parents didn't have the same enthusiasm for Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.“It's so childish that I almost fell asleep in the cinema.”Wang Lu's father said.

  Some young people find the film funny enough to watch.“Pleasant Goat and Bug Big Wolf is so cute,”Dong Lei,a 22-year-old college student said.“However,compared with the animation(動(dòng)畫(huà)制作)technology of Hollywood cartoon films such as Kung Fu Panda,the film still has room for improvement,”said cartoonist Yang Lin.

  Imagine this:your parents go away on business,but you have to stay at home alone.Would fife be as easy as when your parents are around?Would it be a perfect holiday for you?

  “I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup,but that's all.I think many of my classmates are the same.We wouldn't know what to do,or how to look after ourselves.”said Zheng Chenyu.“And I'd forget something important.I'd probably watch television and burn the soup.”

  “As soon as I leave home,I'll learn to cook.But now parents do almost everything for us.We're very lazy.”he said.

  Most teenagers have only time for their homework.They don't learn any life skills until they go to college.

  However,Sima Yige doesn't think so.

  “I think I'd be all right.I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit.I know how to cook some simple dishes because my mum showed me,”the 13-year-old boy said.In his opinion,many teenagers depend too much on their parents,and there is much more to learn than cooking,like“tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly.”

  For most teenagers it wouldn't be a holiday at all.

1.Why would Zheng Chenyu probably burn the soup?

________

2.When will Zheng Chenyu learn to cook?

________
