How men first learned to invent words is unknown. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined(结合) to stand for those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their associations (联系) with the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall (想起) to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Indianapolis is the capital and largest city of Indiana, USA. With a population of 744000, it is one of the largest cities in the world that cannot be reached by water. However, Indianapolis is a city through which many railways,roads, buses and planes pass. There are many factories which make trucks, farmtools, and electrical things. These factories cause little pollution for the city. Butler University, wellknown for engineering, and the law and medical schools of Indiana University, are in the city centre. Nearby is the Indianapolis race course, where the nation's most famous car race is held each year on May 30th.

If you visited Indianapolis you would be able to find your way around easily because most of the streets cross each other like a chessboard (棋盘). In the centre of the city, called the Circle, stands the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument,100 metres high. Also in the centre there are many buildings made of the famous Indiana stone, which makes them white in colour.

Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of the nation, it will tell you the potential (潜力) of that nation.

If today in America, you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars-the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have gifts but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often have something to do with drugs (毒品) and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek (追求) more in a hero than suchthings as money and good clothes.

A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area-sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a mess (混乱). Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports stars.

A third group of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting gifts and is quite handsome. However, the personal life and conduct of too many actors are quite sad and they should not be held up as a model for young people.

Today, the rock star, the sports player and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are capable people who work hard to make the world abetter place for everyone.

What is really sad is that the young try to imitate (模仿) their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are limited only to rock stars, players and actors, the future does not look very bright.

83. The hero discussed in this article means a person     .

A. who has done something brave

B. who plays an important role in a play

C. people greatly admire

D. who rides the waves and moves with the tides (潮流)

84. What is true of the three groups of heroes mentioned in this article?

A. They are not bright but are goodlooking.

B. They are rich but are strict with themselves.

C. They are talented (有才干) in some area but lead an unfit life.

D. They are perfect in every way. 

85. According to the writer, people should hold up as their model     .

A. those who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

B. those who work in the interests of the people

C. those whose personal life is good

D. those who can express people's feelings
