Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential（潛勢）of that nation.

If today in America, you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars —the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model (推舉…為榜樣). The rock stars too often are involved with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.

A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area — SPORTS. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a mess. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.

A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model for young people.

Today, the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are only rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.

56. The hero discussed in this article means a person ______.

A. who has done something brave          B. who plays an important role in a play

C. whom people greatly admire            D. who rides the waves and moves with the tides

57. What is true of the groups mentioned in this article?

A. They are not fright but are good-looking.       B. They are rich but are strict with themselves.

C. They are talented in some area but lead an indecent life.   D. They are perfect in every way.

58. American young people will not admire ______.

A. a university professor           B. a popular singer     C. a football player     D. a film actress

59. According to the writer, people should hold up as their model those______.

A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes     B. whose personal life is good

C. who can express people’s feelings             D. who work in the interests (利益) of the people

60. What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration for their heroes?

A. He is understanding.      B. He is critical.     C. He is angry.        D. He is uninterested.

Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the coun??try ’ s worst problems ~: crime (犯罪）.

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals (罪犯）are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.

There are many young criminals in prison，but prison doesn ’ t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man ,Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest. “ He takes young criminals on a long ,long journey with horses and wagons (馬車）， 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.

The young people in Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

It's hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before  but they love their horses. That love can help them to live a new life.

Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “ Go west, young men. ”

In the last paragraph “l(fā)eave crime behind them" means    .

A. no longer do a crime B. leave people who do a crime

C. don't do all the crimes       D. leave criminals behind

Why is Bob Burton right?

A .Because he can help to solve crime.

B .Because three or four is better than six or seven.

C .Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.

D .Because he can stop crime in the country.

Form the passage we may infer that   .

A .getting up before the sun rises can help out of crime

B .we can hardly find a person who has no love for anybody or anything

C .travelling can help all criminals out of prison

D .young people can do anything freely

     On “ Vision Quest"   .

A. young people have bad problems

B .young people grow tall very fast

C .young people often help their friends in time of danger

D .all of the above

Americans still say, "Go west, young men. ”because .

A .if they go west they can have a travel

B .in the west there is a prison

C .there they have to live a hard life to grow into men

D .prison doesn't change them
