Period Three　Lesson 2 & Lesson 3—Comprehending [教材原文] THE SUPERHERO BEHIND SUPERMAN The story of Christopher Reeve's life is one that is almost impossible to imagine—from a wildly successful Hollywood career, to the horror<1> of life-threatening<2> injury；Reeve experienced both．Thus，①not only is he known as a superhero in the Superman films, but he is also regarded as<3> a superhero to many in real life． Reeve was born on 25 September,1952 in New York—the son of Franklin Reeve, a teacher and novelist<4>， and Barbara Pitney, a journalist<5>．He found his passion<6> in acting and starred in his first school play at the age of eight．Although he believed he would only ever act on stage, Reeve tried out for, and was eventually given the lead role in a Superman film． Reeve starred in four Superman films from 1978 to 1987．He realised that his roles in these films had given him the opportunity<7> to be a real-life superman, and he soon gained a reputation<8> for raising awareness<9> for good causes．He visited sick children in hospitals and worked with organisations<10> such as Save the Children, speaking out about health, education and child protection to help those most in need．

克里斯托弗·里夫的一生几乎难以想象——从极其成功的好莱坞生涯，到致命伤带来的恐惧，里夫都经历过。因此，① 他不仅是《超人》电影中的超级英雄，在现实生活中也被许多人视为超级英雄 。 1952年9月25日，里夫在纽约出生，他的父亲富兰克林·里夫是教师兼小说家，母亲芭芭拉·皮特尼是记者。他发现自己热衷于表演，并在八岁时第一次在学校的戏剧中担任主角。尽管里夫认为自己只会在舞台上表演，但他还是尝试并最终获得了在电影《超人》中的主角角色。 从1978年到1987年，里夫主演了四部《超人》电影。他意识到自己在这些电影中的角色给了他在现实生活中成为超人的机会，他很快就因提高人们对慈善事业的认识而获得了声誉。他去看望医院的患病儿童，并与“救助儿童会”等组织合作，支持健康、教育和儿童保护(等事业)，帮助最需要帮助的人。 Unfortunately, in 1995 disaster struck<11> Reeve．②While horseback riding, he was thrown off his horse and broke his neck．His injuries were so severe<12> that he had no movement<13> or feeling in his body at all and even needed a machine to help him breathe．At first, his doctors did not believe that he would survive．During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope．③Having once been a healthy and successful young man to being trapped in a broken body was like a living nightmare<14> to him．He admitted that during the early stages of living with his injury, he wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life．He fell into a depression<15> which lasted for many months．It was only due to<16> the ongoing<17> support of his wife, parents and friends that he eventually found the will to live again．For the years that followed he focused his attention on his goal of one day walking again． With a new sense of energy and commitment<18>， Reeve undertook<19> an intense<20> exercise programme to help him achieve this goal．He engaged<21> in a wide range of exercises designed<22> to rebuild muscle, and made remarkable progress．Shortly after, he managed to return to his film career by directing, producing and even starring in films．He also wrote a biography<23> and returned to his charity work．Reeve became a passionate<24> and energetic<25> advocate<26> for people with back injuries and disabilities<27>， raising millions of dollars in support of medical research．“What I do is based on powers we all have inside us…and you don't have to be a ‘superman’ to do it．” His positive attitude<28> inspired many people who were stuck in illness．“With the progress of new medical research, I'm confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day．So you can see, I'm too busy with living to think of giving up！” Sadly, on 10 October,2004, Christopher Reeve passed away．He will always be remembered as a superhero—in more ways than one． <11>strike/straIk/vi．&vt．突然发生(某种不幸)；突然有坏的影响；打，击

不幸的是，1995年，灾难降临在里夫身上。② 他在骑马时从马上坠落，摔断了颈部。 他的伤势非常严重，身体完全丧失了运动能力和知觉，甚至连呼吸都需要借助机器。起初，他的医生认为他无法活下来。在这段时间里，里夫觉得他失去了所有的希望。③ 他曾经是一个健康、成功的年轻人，现在却被困在一副受伤的身体里，这对他来说就像一个真实的噩梦。 他承认，在他受伤的早期阶段，他希望自己已经死掉，甚至想过结束自己的生命。他陷入了持续数月的抑郁状态。是因为妻子、父母和朋友的不断支持，他才最终找到了重新生活的意愿。在那之后的几年里，他把注意力集中在了有朝一日能再次行走这个目标上。 为了帮助他达到目标，里夫凭借一种新的力量和使命感，开始了高强度的运动计划。他进行了一系列旨在重建肌肉的运动，并取得了显著的进步。不久之后，他重返电影事业，从事导演和制作人，甚至主演了电影。他还写了一本传记，并且再度从事慈善工作。里夫成为脊背受伤和残疾人士的热情而积极的支持者，他为支持医学研究筹集了数百万美元。“我所做的是基于我们每个人体内都拥有的力量。你不必成为‘超人’就能做到。”他积极乐观的态度鼓舞了很多疾病缠身的人。“随着新的医学研究的发展，我相信像我这样的人总有一天能再次行走。所以你可以看到，我忙于生活，无暇考虑是否放弃！” 令人难过的是，2004年10月10日，克里斯托弗·里夫去世了。他将作为超级英雄永远被铭记——不止在一个方面。 Step One　Fast reading Ⅰ．Read the passage quickly and fill in the following blanks with suitable words． Ⅱ．What's the main idea of the text?
