When I was younger it seemed that the super hero was Batman or Spiderman. As I grew up, I looked to real people with some of these qualities to be my super hero including being strong, honest, friendly, brave, skilled, hardworking, and reliable. The person I think of when I hear these words is my dad.
My dad is one of the toughest people I have ever met. He has been through it all. When I was five, 60 percent of his body was burned. In 1999 he fell from a tree, breaking his arm and shattering his ankle. In 2004, he had a liver transplant (移植) after being on the list for six years after a bad blood transfusion that gave him Hepatitis C. Now, my dad is 45 years old and feels better than he has in 15 years.
My dad is one of the most reliable people I know. Anything I ask of him, he does. Whenever he tells me he is going to do something, it is always done before I get home from work. Whenever I need my dad, he is there. When I was ten and he told me my grandmother was going to die, I felt really down. He was the one there trying to cheer me up.
My dad has worked hard for everything he has. At home, he is always busy doing projects and has painted every room in our house. After our shop was built, he constructed an office you would think a professional built. When I do something stupid, he helps me fix it. Of course, he does his complaining, but I know he likes fixing things just as much as I like tearing them up.
My dad has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I have learned a lot from watching him and I don’t believe I will ever meet anyone like him. I hope when I grow up, I can possess the same qualities as my dad, and have someone look up to me as a good role model. This is why my dad is my hero.

Where do you want to travel this year? What are some of your favorite vacation spots? See some places we have picked as the top destinations for 2010.
● Sri Lanka
The island feels like one big tropical zoo: elephants roam freely, water buffaloes (水牛) idle in paddy fields and monkeys swing from trees.And then there's the beautiful coastline.Among the most scenic is Nilaveli Beach in the Tamil north.Vacationers can lie on poolside hammocks (吊床) under palm trees or swim in its crystal-clear waters.Or they can order cocktails at the Nilaveli Beach Hotel.
● Shanghai
Following up on Beijing's successful Olympics, Shanghai is expecting 70 million visitors to its World Expo.From May 1 to Oct.31, more than 200 nations and regions will turn a two-square-mile site by the city's Huangpu River into an architectural playground: Switzerland will be represented by a building shaped like a map of that country, while England is in the celebrated hands of the designer Thomas Heatherwick.However, by contrast, the United States pavilion might be mistaken for a suburban (郊区的) office park.
● Copenhagen
Last year, thousands of environmentalists challenged world leaders in Copenhagen for the climate summit, but the Danish capital has already emerged as one of the world's greenest, and maybe coolest, cities.In Copenhagen, long, flat roads all have bicycle paths where locals cycle around the city.Away from all the modernism and the happy cyclists, cultural thrill-seekers are being attracted to the district of Norrebro, where the city's young crowd the cafes and galleries or dance in local clubs until the early hours.

Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined forbreaking the family planning policy a senior official has warned. As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child,Zhang Feng,family planning department director of Guangdong Province,stressed that this violated Chinaspolicies. “And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.”he said.

    ''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions, they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.

    He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second child in Hong Kong, but gave no details.

    Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.

    The issue also has caused calls for an amendment to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.

    ''I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.'' Zhang said.

2010 was a good year for American farmers. They earned about eighty-two billion dollars. That is almost one-third more than that they earned last year. And it is twenty-six percent higher than the ten-year average. Values for grain and oilseed crops are up about three percent from last year. The value of animal production is up by almost seven percent.

In 2011, farm exports are expected to break the all-time high set in 2008.The Agriculture Department says exports in 2011 could top one hundred and twenty-six billion dollars. The largest buyer of agricultural products is expected to be Canada. But farm exports to China are predicted to come within five hundred million dollars of Canadian purchases. Secretary Vilsack says countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are also buying more from American farmers.

Poor growing conditions overseas played an important part in higher prices for American crops in 2010.Charlotte Hebe brand is chief executive of the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council in Washington. She said drought(干旱)conditions had a big effect over the summer. She said,“There were horrible weather problems, not just in Russia but also in some of the other former Soviet Union countries.”

Wheat prices rose after Russia stopped wheat exports,although Russia later eased the ban(禁令).“Wheat used to be America’s top crop. What’s interesting,though,is that wheat production has actually become less over the past few years because corn has become the most popular crop,”said economist Charlotte Hebebrand.

Corn is mostly fed to animals. But Miss Hebebrand said with the recent increase in wheat prices, American farmers might plant more wheat again. Corn and wheat are the two largest crops supported by the government.

B. Russia was not the country most affected by drought in 2010

C. Weather problems helped raise prices for American crops in 2010

D. American crops were the most expensive around the world in 2010

4.We can infer that in the past few years American farmers——
