Question Section II: Reading Instructions: Choose the correct answer. Heroes Section I Is it fair to say that to be a hero in real life is an altogether different prospect from the heroism we read about in books or view in films? After all, behaving bravely when there is no guarantee of a positive outcome, when you can actually hear your heart thumping in your chest and feel your stomach clenching, takes real character. Most acts of heroism go unseen by a public used to the spectacular, and many everyday heroes die unsung. Section II Yet there is a large body of opinion that says that a real hero must be epic just like a storybook one. Alexander the Great was obsessed with being remembered as a hero; he slept with the Iliad under his pillow and dreamed of becoming more renowned than Achilles or Agamemnon. This is a common mentality, one that confuses fame with bravery and claims that the heroic act must be a grand one that can be painted large on the canvas of history. Section III This way of thinking also seems to call into doubt the fact that the heroes in literature are fictional. This may seem strange considering the fact that the character of the hero is inherently the same throughout literature. Heroes with flaws, despite their great strength (that will at some point lead them astray), must undergo a test of fire in order to reach a deeper understanding of themselves and the world. The same applies to everyone from Gilgamesh to Luke Skywalker. Section IV Even when the character is based on a real person, by the time they reach us through the medium of story, they are changed beyond recognition. There doubtless was a man once by the name of Odysseus, who got lost on the way back from a war and did not return home for a long time. The war, however, did not involve the numbers we read about in the Iliad. He may not have been gone quite as long as was claimed in Homer’s version of the Odyssey, and the strange people he and his sailors met probably took a long time to achieve the status of monsters. Section V Alexander the Great felt constrained by his father’s greatness, and worried that there would be nothing left to conquer when his turn came. When it did, he created in a few short years one of the greatest empires ever seen, was proclaimed as divine by the Egyptians, and died at the age of thirty-two still consumed by the same thirst for recognition. It remained unquenched, unsatisfied, despite the fact that he had accomplished almost every one of the goals he had aspired to and pursued, and despite his becoming a household name throughout the known world. Section VI What is ultimately the problem with all this is the fact that we are not inclined to judge simple ordinary acts of heroism as anything worthy of note. Before every act, the thought flashes through our mind: is anybody watching? We no longer think someone who bravely does the right thing under difficult circumstances is a hero; it must be caught on camera, reported on the news, become a thread on Twitter, in some way contribute to the growth of immortality. Who would be a hero under such pressure? Even Batman or Superman would think twice about donning their disguise if they really were around today. What is a real act of heroism, as described in Section I? BLANK 1 of 6 A. one that is made into a film B. one which is publicly recognized C. one that changes history D. one that is done without thought of reward Alexander the Great’s idea of a hero was BLANK 2 of 6 A. a man who becomes a legend. B. a man who acts according to his beliefs. C. a man who knows his history. D. a man who forgets where he came from. What is implied about the character of the hero in Section III? BLANK 3 of 6 A. It has numberless variations B. It is one of the oldest characters in literature. C. It is boring. D. It is limited. What is said about the stories of heroes we know today? BLANK 4 of 6 A. They are the creations of the participants themselves. B. They are the products of embellishment and exaggeration. C. They faithfully narrate true historical moments. D. They are a pale reflection of the events they were based on. What is the example of Alexander the Great meant to show? BLANK 5 of 6 A. how easy it is to be disappointed with life B. the fate of those who want everything C. what makes us desire fame and glory D. the impossibility of matching storybook heroes What is said in the final section about how people feel nowadays about heroism? BLANK 6 of 6 A. It should be left to the professionals. B. It is far too difficult to even attempt. C. It belongs in the past with the myths and legends. D. More and more people are inspired by their favorite stories. What is a real act of heroism, as described in Section I?
