I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.

As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children”. As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been improved. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.

Our society often judges books by their covers, but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.

Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.

But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang. He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

A. three English letters B. a kind of banana

It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.

If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.

Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest --- in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed--- but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.

After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero--- and my hero, too.

1.What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?

A. Common B. Honest C. Pretty. D. Strong

2.Sandra began to play volleyball when ______________.

A. she was tall enough B. she was at college

C. she became a hero D. she met the Superman

3.Which of the following is true about Sandra?

A. She was born a volleyball player.

B. She is popular with her teammates

C. She does things in an easy way.

D. She isn’t the tallest but the fastest.

4.Why does the writer think of Sandra Keierleber as a true hero?

A. She did very well at the tryouts.

B. She asked for help from her teammates.

C. She took part in the city matches.

D. She worked hard and never gave up.
