a brilliant, creative, and educated man. he had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. he was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. an idea occurred to him. “why not write to other people who need encouragement?”he wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. the prison minister replied, “writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. he began sending one-way messages of gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. he wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. he poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith. it was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. one day he received a letter from the prison ministry. it was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail. the letter said, “please write on the best paper you can afford. your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”no matter what circumstances

man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. the success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. there are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). they are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. since the success of spiderman, the hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. in 2008, the dark knight was released, making back nearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.superhero movies are many things to many people. to comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. to those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride. 8. the author lists some superhero movies in paragraph 1 in order to show that _.a.

cooks to reduce mealtime complains. service foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.according to a representative of service foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. as products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much.
