18、ool of Performing Arts under John Houseman. Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. this film was a great success and inspired three sequels(续集). Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually lo

19、oked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really required(要求) him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel roman

20、ce. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) fr

21、om the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired(退休) from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently(独立的).1. According to t

22、he passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life _.

25、me D. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center B Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)great differences in cultures

26、 heroes around the world generally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger

27、than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热情), and meaning. A sure t

28、est for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) 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 mo

29、re abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr.

30、 , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large scale(范围) change to happen without leaders with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5.
