阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后字数要求）。

[1] Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: _________?

[2] Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.

[3] A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.

[4] The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?

[5] Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (实行种族隔离的)buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for great change to occur without leaders with attractive personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the future uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.

76．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words．(Please answer within 5 words)

77．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

It takes more than being famous to be a hero though.

78．List two qualifies that are universally accepted as characteristics of a hero based on the text.

(Please answer within 10 words.)

①__________________________    ②______________________________

79．Who's your hero? Why do you worship him or her? (Please answer within 20 words.)

80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.
