What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "hero"?_1__ There are onscreen heroes like the superheroes in Avengers(复仇者),and also everyday heroes in our lives.

Whether they're championship athletes, groundbreaking(开创性的)scientists, programmers changing the world with a keyboard, firefighters rushing into the burning building, artists creating the works of amazement, or a dog with a baby by his side,  “hero” can be the word to describe them.

___2___

In general, a hero is someone selfless, courageous and brave. These qualities drive heroes to help others in times of need, even if they are scared. You can count on them to be there for you if something bad happens.

"The people that we set up as heroes are people that generally go above and beyond the call of duty. ___3___” Nick Garden, a psychologist at the AAPHC Renaissance Center in the US said so.

However, why can some people be heroic? Nick Garden said, heroes are made. "They probably are people that have been influenced by and have been helped by or have been modeled or raised to have those as values."

Common people--just like you and me-- are heroes in their own way, simply just by doing their part for their families and communities. Cleaners, doctors, reporters, delivery workers, nurses, and bus drivers-- the list goes on and on.__ 4__And, sometimes, when there are emergencies, these common people show courage and bravery to help complete strangers in need.

Being a hero is the nature of human beings. "The decision to act heroically is a choice that many of us will be called upon to make at some point in time. Heroism becomes something that seems in the range(范围)of possibilities for every person, perhaps inspiring more of us to answer that call." heroism researchers Zeno Franco and Philip Zimbardo wrote in Great Good Magazine. __5__ Be courageous, honest, and a person with integrity(正直).  Because, once you are your own hero, you can truly do anything you set your mind to.

Nobody likes doing the dishes because doing the dishes is boring. According to a new study, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies(过敏).      1    

 Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1029 children aged 7 and 8.     2        It was surprising.

 Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand.      3     One explanation is depended on an idea known as the "hygiene hypothesis(卫生假说)". It says the reason why kids develop allergies is hat their environment is actually too clean.

     4     But when you have allergies, it doesn’t work well and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉) or certain food.

This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.      5     We should encourage the immune system in different ways and it becomes strong.

On a boat near Costa Rica,a team of marine biologists is helping a turtle.

The video of the turtle's rescue has been viewed millions of times on YouTube.

2     Since2000,there has been a huge increase in worldwide plastic production, but we recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean. Today, scientists think about 8.1 billion kilograms goes into the sea every year from coastal regions. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade.

This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year, Some fish eat plastic because it is covered with sea plants,and it looks and smells like food. Typically,eating plastic leads to constant hunger.3           In some cases, eating sharp pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even result in death.

4       ----but this is bad news for sea creatures who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca,"Single-use plastics are the worst."These are items that are used only once before we throw them away.5        About 700sea species (including the turtle from the video) have been caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic.Luckily,the turtle survived and was released back into the ocean.

How will plastic affect sea animals in the long term?"I think we'll know the answers in5 to 10 years’ time"says Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in the ocean.
