Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I 36 a telephone call from a woman who could not stop 37 as she told me that one of the stories in my book had saved her son from committing suicide.(自杀) In closing she called me a 38 .
That 39 me thinking about what a hero really is. Was I a hero 40 I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I 41 a story that saved someone’s life?
Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see 42 what it meant. It 43 “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “ a person who is good and noble”.
That statement 44 me more than the part about being 45 . So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I 46 to open and hold the door for someone as a courtesy (礼貌) . As they passed me by, I said, “How are you today?” Most of the time that would be no big deal, 47 this time let’s say it was for someone who was deeply 48 and near the end of the rope.
I was in such a condition after my marriage of twenty years ended. I was within hours trying to get up enough 49 to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had 50 me a card in the mail which told me how 51 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.
Similarly many children come out of the orphanages (孤儿院) 52 a very hard and bitter attitude against the world, but the gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. 53 , most of them will never hurt anyone because of the 54 shown to them by those of us who cared. If it 55 , we will also become “heroes”.

Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a 16 on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from 17 to toe,explained that he had 18 out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children 19 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had 20 a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 21 ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he 22 me back.
Before leaving,I had turned the heater 23 in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and 24 .While the little ones played and ran 25 ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the 26 .
It was about 5 a.m. before they 27 .The young fellow asked me how much he 28 me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had 29 $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.

Science seems to be getting closer to answering a very old mystery. Homing pigeons can be 36 hundreds of miles from their homes. When they are let to go to 37 again, they find their way home. Because of this special ability to 38 ,pigeons have been used 39 messengers for hundreds of years.
Today people even breed homing pigeons for 40 at a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen 41 a few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let to go together. The winner is the bird that gets home 42 .A good race can make it home from 500 miles away 43 a single day.
The mystery of the homing pigeons is how they 44 directions and how they find home. The first part seems to be pretty well 45 ,and we know of two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Experiments show that homing pigeons can tell 46 by the sun. What happens when the 47 is darkly overcoat by clouds and no one can 48 where the sun is? Then the pigeons still find their way home.
Naturally, people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compass 49 that would tell them about the direction of the 50 magnetic(磁的)field. Many different kinds of experiments were 51 .Here’s what the scientists decided 52 they had made experiments many times. When pigeons can see the sun, they use it as their 53 means of direction-finding. When they can’t see the sun, they use some 54 way to sense direction from the earth’s magnetic field.
But how do pigeons know 55 direction is toward home? What do they use that we would call a map? These are other questions to be answered.
