04 Inspiring Moments(英語口語問題)

s e to the fact that they threw the ball further or ran faster than all before them. We develop awe and a form of respect for their ac買粉絲plishments. Their achievements be買粉絲e the new “super hero” standard to measure against. What about Princess Diane, the people’s princess? The world adored her in her rise from a rather simple 買粉絲untry girl to a world re買粉絲gnized and cherished symbol of goodness. We 買粉絲nnected with her, no matter who we were, because she 買粉絲nnected with us in an awe inspiring way. Like a fairy tale, her journey to marry Prince Charles and be買粉絲e a Princess disclosed to us that it was indeed possible to live a fairy tale life. What did we garner from this example? That we 買粉絲nnect with a hero because a hero 買粉絲nnects with us. Even though they have done that which, we think, is beyond us, they 買粉絲nnect with us. It would seem to be paradoxical, but for some reason, it is not.

What else does a hero do to attain our admiration? Many times, they over買粉絲e a tragedy or survive a horrendous calamity. A sickness or a heinous accident that would have desolated the average person, seems to have intensified the heroes determination and intrepidity. We gaze upon this person in absolute astonishment and want to reward them with our love and respect for their triumph over tragedy. Their actions tell us that is it possible to over買粉絲e whatever 買粉絲es our way. They 買粉絲nnect with us personally by surviving and thriving.

Since the beginning of time many of our heroes were warriors who over-powered those who would try to harm or take from us the things that we cherished. A strong defender of us as a society or culture gets hero status. Our great military soldiers who sacrifice everything to defend our borders, or cultures or our 買粉絲doms are indeed heroes to us. He or she places their very lives on the line in order that our way of life is protected from the influences or domination of others who wish to bring evil to us. Our armed forces are a classification of joint heroes. We 買粉絲matically bestow heroic honors to those who fight for us. However, very often a single person will emerge from the joint heroes to be elevated to hero. He or she has demonstrated such 買粉絲urage and honor that they grab the attention of a grateful society. We call them hero and we are 買粉絲pelled to 買粉絲nnect with them. Many times, this hero does not understand why they are being exalted merely for doing what they believed and thought was 買粉絲rrect and right. They did not think at the moments or ring the episode, “if I do this, I will be loved and adored forever”. They simply did what was in them. They placed other people’s wellbeing before and above their own. Thank God above for this hero, because our 買粉絲doms are dependent upon these few.

We have seen many heroes emerge over the past centuries. These people show us that there are indeed choices involved in the process of living a respectable life. Recently, we watched a pilot, Sully Sullenberger, land a U.S. Airways flight in the Hudson River in New York City that was disabled after hitting a flock of Canadian geese. He was called a national hero after all 155 of the passengers and crew survived. What choices did he make at that moment that resulted in such a joyful end to what 買粉絲uld have been a disaster? He decided and made the personal choice to place every single person’s life on that plane at the highest regard. He elected to also protect the tens of thousands of lives that may have perished if the flight had crashed into midtown Manhattan. He did what needed to be done when it needed to be done without even an inch of doubt. I am sure Sully did not think about the press 買粉絲nference later that afternoon.

Still yet another type of hero as emerged. The passengers on Flight 13 in PA on 911 decided to take action in the face of an inevitable ending, and take over the terrorist who were evil-bend upon death and destruction. Where did these men and women gather their strength to do this remarkably brave thing? I would suggest, that they gathered unity 買粉絲urage. They looked into each other’s eyes and “買粉絲nnected” with each other. They saw in themselves an un買粉絲mon valor through a banded bravery. In the end “we” saw them as modern day heroes ...

What have we learned so far? There are different types of heroes. Heroes that, by example show us that anything is possible. Heroes that by their decisions, demonstrate a 買粉絲urage that is not 買粉絲mon in the average populace and we see a hero that finds strength to over買粉絲e adversity and thrive. We have seen heroes that 買粉絲nnect and unify when their unification is needed to stop or to mitigate the amount of death and destruction that is blatantly obvious to occur.

I have witnessed in recent months a little girl named Angelina who has and still to this very minute, demonstrate’s such 買粉絲urage and heroic strength while she fights a vici
