Every country has its heroes．The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people 31 . If you get a list of the heroes of a nation，32 will tell you the potential of that nation．

     If today in America，you ask the high school students to 33 their heroes，their choice would probably fall into three groups．The first group of heroes would be the rock stars-the people 34  with rock music．There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one 35 whether one should hold up rock stars as a 36．The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that 37 ．The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However，one should 38  more in a hero than such things as money and fine clothes．A  39 type of hero for the American youth is the sports stars

    On the night of November l4，1978，a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States．All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere．The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me．

    I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else．You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance．Well，of course，I met that kind of person．I just shrugged it off．

    As an adopted child，I have something that others don’t have．I have had the benefit of two  families，I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life．But we must try never to forget our past．Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind．

    There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted．When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument，they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea．I don’t understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family

    Among various programs，TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television．And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style．But no two shows are more opposite in content，while at the same time standing out above the rest，than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winffey shows．

    Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example，the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love，sex，cheating，and hate，to a different level．Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives．

    Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top．But Oprah goes in the opposite direction．The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons，managing your work week，to getting to know your neighbors.

    Compared to Oprah，the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society．Jerry ends every show with a “final word’’He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show，

     A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan．His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising．The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years．Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-$7,000，a legacy from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident．“It really made a difference when we were going under financially．’’says Dave．

    But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches．Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’generosity．In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in other, it was more than $100,000.

    It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $ 3 milliorr-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm．

    Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on(喜欢)comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，
