At some point, however, we all begin to

27、 question our heroes and our need for them.

A hero has a story of adventure to

28、 tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high- voltage transformers, hem take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation

29、 Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would - be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but no

30、t heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India migh

31、t still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. , we might still have segregated (隔离的)buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision u

32、ncertain, and the committee meetings endless.（分数：5.00）(1).Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _.A. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a lar

37、e people.D. produce leaders with attractive personalities.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Corporations as a group offer a variety of jobs. Most large companies send people to colleges to interview graduating students with the required academic training. A large university may have more than

38、500 companies a year knocking on its door. Big firms are your best place for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements, and turnover (补缺工人数) create thousands of jobs nationwide each year. They are quite attractive for job seekers.Corporations, however, illustrate the rule that the bigg

39、est isnt always the best. Many small firms with just a few hundred employees have positions that may correspond with your profession goals, too. Such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; youll probably have to contact them yourself either directly or thr

40、ough an employment agency. Dont ignore these little companies. They are perhaps beneficial for you. Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement and recognition even stronger than those of a big firm. You could become a big fish in a small pond, reaching a high-level positi

41、on more quickly than you would if you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a corporate giant. Whats more, a small Firm can develop into a big corporation. Many famous companies such as Microsoft, Amazon bookstore, Haier, are just from small ones.For example, a small company may need a bright e

42、ngineering, accounting or management graduate who would report directly to the senior vice-president of engineering, the company controller, or the general manager. In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar in-depth experience. In addition, responsibilities may come

43、 faster in a small firm with less specialization and fewer lower-level employees to receive delegated authority.It is critical that what is your want indeed from the work. No matter what kind of company it is, big or small, if it meets your needs, it is a good one.（分数：6.00）(1).The purpose of the pas

I always encourage such p

48、eople, but I also explain that theres big difference between“ being a writer“ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write, “I say to them, “not want to be a writer.“The reality is that writing is

49、a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by for tune, there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual type- writer and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break an
