3、t man. He was, is, and always will be a hero. In my view, being a hero means more than making great achievements. In fact, heroes are extraordinary (非凡的), because their hearts are filled with love for people. It is this love that makes them heroes, rather than great men.So this is the difference bet
4、ween great men and heroes. What makes a hero is not only ones achievements, but also his selfless (无私的) love. With great achievements and selfless love, the person can become a true hero, just like Nelson Mandela.短文注释：1pass away去世2a great loss一个巨大的损失3used to do 过去常常4fight for. 为而奋斗5put. into prison将

32、是我最高兴的日子之一。他告诉我要想在约翰内斯堡立住脚，应当如何获取所需证件。我对自己的未来更加充满了希望。我永远忘不了曼德拉是多么和善。当他组织了非国大青年联盟时，我马上就参加了这个组织。他说：“过去30年来所出现的大量法律剥夺我们的权利，阻挡我们的进步，一直到今天，我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。”这是事实。黑人没有选举权，也无权选择自己的领导人。他们不能做自己想要做的工作。他们在城里不得不居住的地方是由白人决定的。他们被打发去城外居住的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。没有人能在那儿种庄稼。事实上，正如纳尔逊曼德拉所说的：“我们被置于这样一个境地：要么被迫接受低人一等的现实，要么跟政府作斗争。我
33、们选择对抗法律。首先我们用和平的方式来打破法律，当这种方式得不到允许时只有到这个时候，我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。” 事实上，我并不喜欢暴力但是在1963年，我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的，因为如果被抓住了，我可能要坐牢。但我乐于帮忙，因为我知道这将帮助我们实现使黑人和白人平等的梦想。词语积累lawyer/lj/n.律师guidance/aIdns/n.指导；领导under the guidance of sb.under ones guidance在某人的指导下legal/lil/adj.法律的；依照法律的illegal adj.非法的be generous with在方面慷慨大方f
