　　课时作业2　(B卷)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　Once many years ago，I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming.Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide.In closing she called me a hero.

　　That got me thinking about what a hero is.Was I a hero because I pulled a family out of a burning car? If so，how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?

　　Today I decided to look up the word "hero" in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant.It read "a person who does something brave"．As I read on，it also said "a person who is good and noble"．

　　That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave.So I thought about something very important.Say I was walking into the local Wal­Mart Store and I happened to open，and hold the door for someone as a courtesy．As they passed me by，I said，"How are you today? "Most of the time that would be no big deal，but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope.That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.

　　Having been near "the end of my rope"，after my marriage of twenty years ended，I was in such a condition.I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery.When I returned home，someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend.That wonderful card probably saved my life.That person，without even knowing it，saved a life and became a hero.

　　Gee，who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero，and possibly save a life just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor.
