Most heroes are not super.They don't appear in comic books,on television,or in movies.They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place.Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle,Washington.He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago,he was looking for a bike for his wife.He found one on Craigslist,a website where people list things they want to sell.As he often does,he also looked at Bike Index,a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they're taken.The bike,which he was considering purchasing,clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.
Then he called the person who claimed(聲稱) to be the bike's owner and arranged to meet him- supposedly to complete the sale.When the two men met,Bike Batman told the thief, "You've got two choices.You can wait until a police officer gets here,or you can just get out of here." You can imagine what the thief did.
After that first success,Bike Batman developed a safer routine.When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist,he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index.Once he has confirmed it with the owner,he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action.In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes,the thieves have been caught.In one case,Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized belongings that suspects(嫌疑犯)had stolen during a home burglary.
His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called "Robin Hood".Since he wasn't exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, "Batman" seemed a better fit.The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him,but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle's fame as a friendly city.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
