Directions: Read the following passage and then decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write T for true and F for false in the space provided.
     Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. 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 immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of chara cteristics that instruct and inspire people.
     A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence 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 more abundant?
      Heroes are catalysts for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
___1) Although heroes come from different cultures, they generally have certain inspiring characteristics.
 ___2) Heroes can be compared to high-voltage transformer and set good examples for ordinary people to follow.  
 ___3) Madonna and Michael Jackson are heroes because they have a large number of fans. 
 ___4) Heroes can adapt themselves to the changes of society very quickly.
 ___5) Without leaders with magnetic personalities, historical changes would be delayed.
