1. Read a web article about superheroes. Complete the sentences. (8/___)
People have always had heroes they can respect and admire. Sometimes these heroes are
legendary characters from the past, like Robin Hood. Others are characters in books, like the great
detective Sherlock Holmes. And then in 1930s, superheroes appeared in American comic books.
One of the most famous was Superman, who appeared in the comic book series Action Comics in
1938. Since then Superman has become a film superhero as well, along with other much-loved
superheroes like Batman and Spiderman.
So what characteristics do superheroes have? Firstly, they need to have extraordinary powers,
which they use to do good and save the world. Superman, for example, can fly and he can see things
that other people can’t. Secondly, they usually have a secret identity. For example, Clark Kent is a
newspaper reporter, but when he is needed, he can change into Superman in a second. Of course,
nobody in everyday life knows that Clark is also Superman and they never see him changing into a
superhero with a red cape. Superheroes usually have a special costume and they often wear a mask
as well. Thirdly, superheroes have a lot of enemies that they must fight, but they also have a
weakness that their enemies can use to try to destroy them. Superman’s weakness is Kryptonite, the
green material from his home planet of Krypton.
Not all superheroes are men. There are also many female superheroes, such as Wonder
Woman, Catwoman and Batgirl and some are nearly as old as the men. Wonder Woman first
appeared in a comic book in 1941!
