閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。(滿分25分)                       

After my brother died in an accident , my mother was inconsolable(痛苦的,極其傷心的). I was only 4 years old at that time, but I still understood the seismic shift(地震的改變) in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly, everything around us was potentially dangerous.

I grew up with a lot of restrictions(限制)that were meant to protect me. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t attend parties, or go to summer camp, because what if something happened to me. My life was divided into “things you should avoid” and “things you needed to do in order to have a good , long life”.

I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like getting cancert, losing my wallet, car accidents, and earthquakes-disasters big and small, real and imagined.

When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. That loss, on top of my brother’s unnatural death, could have paralyzed(癱瘓) me. But at my mom’s funeral, I made a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.

I began constantly forcing myself to do the things that frighten or worry me. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares(使….害怕) me, I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle, I’ve dived, I’ve tried rock-climbing, I’ve traveled a lot.

Courage(勇氣,勇敢) isn’t a natural attribute (性格) of human beings. I believe that we have to practice being courageous; using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be good thing if we face it.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   11   , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   12   from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles(彈珠),   13   everywhere. I tried to use a broom(掃帚),     14   with each sweep, they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the   15   , I found a pea——in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   16   . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   17__   12 frozen peas hidden underneath.

When life gets you   24   , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never   25   , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be   26   , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   27   , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   28   you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   29   , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,   30    will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.

That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?

Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.

That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.

After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤兒院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".

1.The main idea of the passage is _______________.

A. why the writer should be a hero   

B. whether the writer is a hero

C. what a hero exactly is           

 D. that everyone is a hero

2.Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?

A. Because he was cute and kind to everybody           

B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.

C. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.             

D. Because his story saved her son’s life.

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The wonderful card the writer received.                  

B. The action of sending the card.

C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.  

D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.

4.According to the writer, who can be considered as a hero?

A. A person who helps someone in trouble.       

B. A person who writes wonderful stories.

C. A person who can hold a door for others.         

D. A person who is brave.
