In a new article, Zehr, a professor at the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, describes his success in using the Caped Crusader (披篷骑士) to engage students in the study of physiology.
"Batman (蝙蝠侠) has such powerful influence on readers because he is a fictional human with superpowers that seem within reach if we only work at it," writes Zehr, in a new article published in Advances in Physiology Education, a journal of the American Physiological Society. Zehr believes that it is not Batman's vast wealth that allows him to protect the citizens of Gotham City (哥谭市) , but his dedication to developing a wide range of physical skills.
Zehr uses Batman to establish a framework, grounded in his fictional universe as well as our real one, in order to discuss the various components of exercise and physical training and illustrate how the body's physiological systems respond. His experiences in teaching undergraduate courses in physiology and neurophysiology made him realize that connecting science to popular culture helped students understand the lessons better.
He first presented a formal analysis of the personal and physical discipline that would be required to transform an ordinary person into a superhero in his book, Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero. The book drew on Zehr's understanding and work in human movement and the plasticity of nerves and muscles associated with exercise. By coincidence, the book was published in the wake of The Dark Knight, the blockbuster movie which recounts Batman and his arch-enemy, the Joker.
With the casting almost complete for the sequel(续集), The Dark Knight Rises, Dr. Zehr writes about his experiences connecting science to popular culture, which is captured in the Advances, article, "A Personal View: From Claude Bernard to the Batcave and Beyond: Using Batman as a hook for physiology education."

| A．his large amount of fortune | B．his devotion to developing varieties of physical skills |
| C．his habit of wearing a cape | D．his developing so wide range of magic power |
| A．Students of physiology and neurophysiology should have more physical training |

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day , Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes throughout the test.
This is nothing really new about 4 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 5 even say a word about it . She only asked the twelve boys to 6 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs o'Neill asked 7 questions, and she didn't 8 us either. Instead , she wrote on the blackboard the 9 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 10 these words into exercise - books one hundred times.
I don't 11 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 12 I can say : it was the most important single 13 of my life. Thirty years after being 14 to Macaulay's words, they 15 seen to me the best Yardstick (准绳) , because they give us a 16 to measure ourselves rather than others.
17 of us are asked to make 18 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle.
But all of us are called 19 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 20 the wallet, found in the street , be put into a pocket 21 turned over to the policeman? Should the 22 change received at the store be forgotten or 23 ? Nobody will know except 24 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 25 to live with someone you respect.

Have you 1 asked yourself why children go to school? You will probably say they go to learn their 2 language and other languages, arithmetic(算术), geography, history, science and all the other 3 . That's quite true; but 4 do they learn these things? And are these things all 5 they learn at school?
We send our children to go to school to 6 them for the time 7 they will be big and will begin to work for 8 . Nearly everything they study at school has some 9 use in their life. But is that the 10 reason why they go to school?
There's more in education(教育)than just 11 facts. We go to school 12 all to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can 13 to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be 64, because whenever he has to do something new which he has never had to do 15 he will rapidly teach himself how to do it 16 the best way. The uneducated(未受教育的)person, on the 17 hand, is 18 unable to do something new, or 19 it badly. The purpose(目的)of schools, therefore(因此), is not just to teach languages, arithmetic, geography, etc, 20 to teach pupil the way to learn.

Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today's world. Well, I'm here to give you 1 .
I wanted to do something very 2 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 3 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 4 it looked almost new. I was so 5 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could 6 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 7 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 8 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so 9 . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 10 lessons.“Learn to play the piano, and I'll get you one” was my husband's 11 .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 12 this expensive gift.
Of course, the 13 awoke, and my son was thrilled (激动的) with my reaction. Many kisses were 14 and I immediately wanted him to 15 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 16 what I was expecting. Then I 17 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 18 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 19 and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you'd love to 20 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P. S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.
