Question

(2014 •湖南益阳) 

   Many people think heroes need to be handsome,rich or very smart. But for me,a hero is a person who always helps others. My hero is Uncle Bruce. His father is a worker. Uncle Bruce is the eldest son in his family and he has four younger brothers and sisters.

   He was good at neither writing nor math. In fact,he never did well at school. He had to give up school at a very young age. He worked and gave all his money to help his parents. When he was older,he found that he was very interested in fixing things. He collected broken things which people threw away and fixed them into good ones. In fact,he could fix almost everything that did not work. He worked hard and never gave up. Finally,he opened his own repair shop. It took him about 20 years to become a successful shopkeeper.

   Now,he is very rich and has another four shops. But Uncle Bruce never forgets the days when he had nothing. He gives money to poor families,gives poor kids books to read and offers them free lunch. He also encourages people to reuse things. He always says, “Make good use of what you have because we have one earth.” 

   I'm proud of him. He is really a hero.
