Some people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know,
someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. I don"t think a hero necessarily
has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member. My hero is younger than me,
but we are related. His name is Marcus. He is my cousin. He isn"t necessarily a wise person
or someone who does something great every day, but he has taught me to appreciate some
of the simple things in life.
I am now in 11th grade. When I was in 8th grade, Marcus had a brain tumor (脑瘤)
which had to be removed. Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的). When the doctors
removed it Marcus lost his sight. He felt down only once. Ever since then, he has been an
extremely happy second-grader. He is very typical of a nine-year-old. He likes to tell jokes,
play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people, just like children at his age. I love
spending time with him. We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him
every chance I get.
I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life. He doesn"t have his sight and
that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. I can do
everything I need to. If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how
much he makes everyone around him happy, then they might just be able to better appreciate
the simple things in life.
B. a different idea about heroes from others
C. the idea that a hero must be older
D. the idea that a hero must be a close friend
B. Because his cousin does great things every day.
C. Because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life.
D. Because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.
B. Marcus isn"t nine years old at all.
C. Marcus is diffe
rent from the other students.D. Marcus is the same as the other children at his age.
B. Marcus" serious illness.
C. Marcus" blindness.
D. Marcus" recovery.

lawyer at once.

"I don"t know 19 to thank you enough for getting my money back," I said to the lawyer. And what

| Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later. She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing  each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her. Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, "Are you willing to be my girlfriend?" Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents. As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, "Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100％ better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love." Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ""I"m going to tell your parents I"ll be looking after you well with all my life!" Galaxy was deeply moved. As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ""This is Kazrim." Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly. He said, "YOU CAN TALK?" It was the same question that  Galaxy wanted to ask, too. The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply. | |||
