What defines a true hero?
e-mail print Dec. 15, 2009 |(0) Comments
The dictionary defines "hero" as "a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his or her brave deeds and noble qualities." Heroes come in many forms in life, ranging from one's family and friends to athletes to movie stars.
A person's heroes can change over time. When we're young, I believe we are more inclined to relate heroism to wealth, power and fame than to the attributes the dictionary outlines.
In my youth, I probably would have said Michael Jordan was my hero. I
enjoyed watching his athletic talent and admired the tremendous success he achieved. But like any human being, he wasn't perfect. Skeletons in his closet were gradually revealed, and as I matured, I began to realize there were people more worth looking up to. Jordan was a great basketball player but didn't merit worshipping. Incidentally, Tiger Woods' fans are experiencing the same thing today. His indiscretions are yet another reminder that we should all rethink the meaning of "hero."
Who among us is truly worthy of being called a hero? As the holidays approach, we hear about the need to help those less fortunate by sacrificing our time, money and possessions. Many of us will attend church services, where we will sing songs of praise and say prayers of thanks to God for saving his fallen, imperfect people. The purpose of this column isn't to preach or convert, but to me, there can be no greater act of heroism than laying down one's life to save others. Jesus is a true hero to me and Christians everywhere.
Whether they are religious or not, it's a safe assumption nearly everyone will gather with loved ones this holiday season.
Many families, including mine, will have folks missing from the
celebration for an especially noble reason:
They will be serving our country overseas, protecting our freedom and helping to ensure that future celebrations will be possible. They are also true embodiments of heroism.
I have one cousin and one friend currently serving in Iraq. Both of my grandfathers served in the military
I am fortunate not to have lost anyone close to me to war. My heart goes out to the many who have. But all who have served are worthy of the lofty designation of "hero,"
because they loved their country enough to defend its honor and principles and were willing to risk their lives fighting for it.
Both active duty personnel I know were overseas while their wives were pregnant and now are temporarily separated from their young children. Their wives maintain order at home and count the days to their return. We pray for their safety and send them care packages of food and gifts. But no matter what happens, my cousin and friend can tell their kids that their daddies are heroes.
I hope the children will grow to understand that the title of "hero" is so priceless that no athlete could afford it.

Someone to look up to
Whom do our children choose?
By Rose McIlveen
To answer the question above, you need to look no further than professional basketball team listings in the television schedules, according to David Gallahue, professor of kinesiology and associate dean of academic affairs and research at the Indiana University School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation in Bloomington.
In a survey conducted by HPER's David Gallahue, more than 50 percent of children named a sport figure as their primary hero. Based on gender, 43 percent of girls placed a "my life" person as number one--a teacher, parent or coach-- while only 18 percent of boys did so.
Gallahue has been conducting a survey of boys and girls in grades 3-6 in the metropolitan Indianapolis area since 1993 and finds the results troubling. The study was designed to examine the types of heroes children select, with "hero" being defined for participants as "someone you look up to."
"The children's choice of pro basketball star Michael Jordan bothers me in several ways: that children regard hang time to be heroic; that girls basically had little choice other than to identify with a male sports figure; and that Mom and Dad, plugging away at the daily business of raising a family, seem unappreciated, especially by boys," said Gallahue.
The latter particularly bothered the professor.
"I thought that heroes would be identified closer to home. I expected more 'my life' heroes--moms, dads, teachers, coaches," said Gallahue.
More than 50% of the children named a sport figures as their primary hero
Based on gender, 43 percent of girls placed a "my life" person as number one, while only 18 percent of boys did so.
"The girls were on balance of where I would like to see children be," said Gallahue. But there was a negative side to the female response. "You know sport is not just a man's world. It's not just NBA basketball, and when you find girls identifying with a male basketball player, I'm not sure that's what we want. Not that it's bad to have girls admire Michael Jordan,
but I'd like to see girls have more positive females models in sport
Gallahue pointed out that there are plenty of role models in the entertainment industry.

"Do we really want every single girl identifying with Madonna?" he questioned. A greater number of female sport figures might also help boys value women more.
What surprised Gallahue was that it was not only important but almost imperative that boys name another male as a hero. "Eighty-eight percent of the 'my hero' choices were other males. Seven percent were androgynous, and that was simply because the children wrote something like 'my cousin' or 'my 'coach,' and we couldn't tell the gender," Gallahue explained.
He suggested that one reason for the scarcity of female sport figures turning up in the survey is because they are not the ones getting lucrative contracts to promote sneakers and sports drinks. That points up how the children know about sports figures in the first place and why they outweigh "my life" heroes in the survey results.
"Adults can watch a basketball game and realize that it's coming from hundreds or thousands of miles away. But I think a child sees it as 'Michael Jordan is in my living room.' Then he is identifying with Michael more than he's identifying with Dad. My goodness, Dad in our survey ended up in fourth place with boys."
That brings up another concern.
"I would prefer to see sport figures portrayed as the multi-faceted
individuals they are. Now that Michael Jordan has retired, I'd like to see him portrayed as the family man he is, with wife and children and seen coaching, mentoring or doing anti-drug commercials," Gallahue said.
He believes that the survey results bring a challenge to teachers, as well as parents
"Teachers could do more in class to celebrate 'my life' heroes. How about a single mom, for example? Kids need to appreciate moms who make sacrifices for them,"
Of the 4,000 children surveyed over a three-year period, Gallahue is most concerned about the ones who have no heroes.
"This whole type of study becomes important because it helps us get into the child a little bit to see where she is, what she's thinking, what or who is really important. "When you see in this study that almost 20 percent of the children, boys and girls combined, could not identify one role model or hero in their lives--20 percent or 800 kids--that's scary, and somehow we've got to do a better job there."
The surveys are given at the National Institute for Fitness and Sport in
Indianapolis and cover 42 different school districts. In the questionnaire, heroes were grouped in three categories: (a) "Life Heroes" that included family members, teachers and coaches; (b) "Real-Life Heroes" made up of community, national and world-wide figures, and (c) "Larger than Life Heroes" that included fictional

本文节选自Iron John: A Book About Men Iron John: A Book About Men by Robert Bly. Copyright 1994, 2004 by Robert Bly We talk a great deal about "the American man," as if there were some constant quality that remained stable over decades, or even within a single decade. The men who live today have veered far away from the Saturnian, old-man-minded farmer, proud of his introversion, who arrived in New England in 1630, willing to sit through three services in an unheated church. In the South, an expansive, motherbound cavalier developed, and neither of these two "American men" resembled the greedy railroad entrepreneur that later developed in the Northeast, nor the reckless I-will-do-without culture settlers of the West. 【这一段里作者提到哪几种美国人？他提这些的目的是什么？】 Even in our own era the agreed-on model has changed dramatically. During the fifties, for example, an American character appeared with some consistency that became a model of manhood adopted by many men: the Fifties male. He got to work early, labored responsibly, supported his wife and children, and admired discipline. Reagan is a sort of mummified version of this dogged type. This sort of man didn't see women's souls well, but he appreciated their bodies; and his view of culture and America's part in it was boyish and optimistic. Many of his qualities were strong and positive, but underneath the charm and bluff there was, and there remains, much isolation, deprivation, and passivity. Unless he has an enemy, he isn't sure that he is alive. The Fifties man was supposed to like football, be aggressive, stick up for the United States, never cry, and always provide. But receptive space or intimate space was missing in this image of a man. The personality lacked some sense of flow. The psyche lacked compassion in a way that encouraged the unbalanced pursuit of the Vietnam war, just as, later, the lack of what we might call "garden" space inside Reagan's head led to his callousness and brutality toward the powerless in El Salvador【查工具书：是怎么回事？】, toward old people here, the unemployed, schoolchildren, and poor people in general. 【Fifties Male有什么特点？】 The Fifties male had a clear vision of what a man was, and what male

大学英语三级B级-阅读理解(三) (总分：25.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、单项选择题(总题数：5，分数：25.00) Task 6 The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night! Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise--if we shout loudly enough about it. （分数：5.00） (1).Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?（分数：1.00） A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy. √ B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution. C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings. · D.Because people knew little about the danger of noise before. 解析：细节判断题。第二段第三、四句话解释了原因：和平安静的地方很难找到，噪音对人类是一种威胁，人们应认真对待。 (2).What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think?（分数：1.00） A.We may forget what we have thought about. B.Our thoughts may be interfered. C.Our mind may be harmed. √ D.We may have difficulty using the right words. 解析：细节辨认题。从文中第三段的If we don’t，we may have headaches，other aches and pains，or even worse mental problems．这句话可知：如果我们听不到自己的声音，可能会产生头痛、其他疼痛，甚至会出现更糟糕的大脑问题。 ` (3).When the writer says we cannot return to the "good old days", he means that ______（分数：1.00） A.our society is becoming much worse than before B.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life √ C.the old days were much happier than the present D.it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before______ 解析：推理题。从文章最后一段可知B是正确的。 (4).From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that（分数：1.00） A.we can put noise under control if our measures are effective @

大学英语三级阅读模拟试题集 Model Test 1 Passage One Suppose you set your mind to work on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had 3 more days to see. If with the oncoming darkness of the 3rd night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those 3 precious days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon? I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you in the night that loomed (降临) before you. I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often. Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just 3 days! 1.What can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph? A. the author is a deaf B. the author is a blind person C. Mrs. Anne Sullivan is a deaf D. Mrs. Anne Sullivan is a blind person 2.According to the passage, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy _____.
