For thousands of years people have told stories about heroes. Heroes are strong, brave people who help others. Today we can read stories and watch films about superheroes. What is superhero?
Superheroes have special powers which they use to do good things like helping people and fighting crime. They usually wear special clothes, like a cape(披肩). Sometimes they wear a mask so no one knows who they are. Some superheroes use tools, like Superman’s web shooter.
Modern superheroes started as stories in comic books. Superman was one of the first famous superheroes. The first Superman comic was published in 1938. Superman is an alien from the planet Krypton. He can fly and he is super strong. He is super fast and no weapons(武器) can hurt him. The only thing that can hurt him is Kryptonite rock from his home planet.
In 1941, Wonder Woman was created. She was the first female superhero. Wonder Woman’s story comes from ancient Greek myths(神话). She has some superhuman powers like Superman. She is good at fighting and she has lots of weapons.
Sometimes superheroes have friends that help them, like Jimmy Olsen in the Superman stories. These friends are called “sidekicks”. One of the most famous sidekicks is Robin from Batman and Robin. Sometimes superheroes group together like Iron Man, Captain America and Thor in the Avengers, or the mutants(突变体) in the X-Men team.

There are some things that are almost impossible to say to our close friends—especially if we want (A)them to be our friends for life. Are you wondering what problems others have?
“I can’t stand your other friends.”
My best friend, Kate, sometimes hangs out with some people that I really don’t like. I think they have a bad influence on her, and she only spends time with them because they are “cool”. Could you tell me if I should bring the matter up with her, or if it would be better for me to keep quiet? I don’t want to lose her as a friend.

“I won’t help you cheat.”
(B)My closest friend, Jim, has lost interest in school and studying. He says he’s bored with the whole thing, so he often asks me whether I’ll let him copy my homework. By now I’ve said no, but he keeps asking me. I told him, “I think we’ll get in trouble.” But he just laughed and told me not to worry. I don’t want to put my grades at risk, but I’m afraid to face my friend about this, so I just keep avoiding the topic. How can I get him to stop asking? I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions for dealing with my problem.
