　　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(特点)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(声誉)．

　　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．

　　Living in a foreign culture can be exciting,but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的)．A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences．They agreed that miscommunications were always possible,even over something as simple as“yes”and“no”．

　　On her first day in Micronesia,an island in the Pacific,Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her．The day was hot．She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn't say anything．Lisa repeated the question．Still the woman said nothing．She later learned that the woman had answered her：she had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means“yes”．

　　Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria,a country in Europe．She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage．She asked the waiter,“Do you have cabbage today?”He nodded his head．Jan waited,but the cabbage never came．In that country,a nod means no．

　　Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India．After explaining something in class,he asked his students if they understood．They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head．He thought some people had not understood,so he explained again．When he asked again,they did the same thing．He soon found out that his students did understand．In India,people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from．You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean“yes”or“no”．
