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”.
