4．Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability（能力）．They feel hopeless about it．Can you learn to read better，or must you agree that nothing can be done about it？
To be sure，people are different．You can not to do everything as well as certain other people do．If all the students in a class tried out for basketball，some would be very good players； others would be very poor； and many would be in between．But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way，and with plenty of practice．It is the same with reading．Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help．Others find reading a slow and tiring job．In between，there are all degrees of reading ability．
Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability．In these experiments，the poor readers were given tests of reading ability．After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered，they were given special instruction and practice in reading．After a few months，another test of the same kind was given．In nearly all experiments，these people had improved their reading ability．

3．Much has been said and written recently about heroes，mainly because many people think we have too few of them．There are many different kinds of heroes，but they all seem to have two things in common．First，heroes，by their actions，show the great possibilities of human nature．Second，heroes can also stand the test of time，and their achievements will not be easily forgotten．Because of these good points，we need to choose our heroes carefully．
Olympic sportstar Jackie Joyner-Kersee，who is believed to be a hero，warns young people to be careful of making athletes heroes．She hopes that if someone tries to copy her，it will be because she has achieved her goals by working hard．Joyner-Kersee says that a hero should be someone who has an influence on another person's life．
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well and to be concerned about the greater good．A hero should show politeness，courage，patience，and strength all the time．A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions that improve the world，even if only in small ways．
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that，"Celebrities are people who make news，but heroes are people who make history．"Thus，if a person is truly worthy to be called a hero，he or she will not be soon forgotten．
We all need heroes．We need to be able to respect people who have been there，done that，and succeeded．Many times the greatest heroes are the people we deal with every day-relatives（亲戚），friends，and neighbours-who will keep going when it is easier to give up．The parent who puts her or his family ahead of herself or himself，the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help others-all these people can be considered as heroes．A hero quietly and continuously sets a good example，an example that inspires others to follow．
