Like many people,I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point,we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.

Although there are a lot of differences in cultures,heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特點(diǎn);) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (聲譽(yù)) .

A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero,and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for wouldbe heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame,they may be famous persons but not heroes.

A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi,Indiamight still be part ofBritain. Without Martin Luther King,Jr. ， Americans might take different buses,eat in different restaurants,go for walks in different parks,and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.

There might be changes in society without a hero,but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history,they make the society develop so rapidly.

One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.

Her mother said, "Don't be afraid, honey. Take courage！"

"What's courage?" she asked, running to her mother's bed.

"Courage is the brave breath," her mother answered.

"Mum, do you have courage?"

"Certainly.，，

The girl held out her little hands ， saying ， " Mum ， blow some of your breath of courage (膽量）to me."

After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands ， the little girl clenched her fists(握拳)nervously, afraid that the "breath of courage" would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.

Her mother said to herself, "It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ' breath' to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost."
