If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places associated with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let"s look at a few of them.Citadel of HaitiThese monuments were built at the end of the nineteenth century when Haiti became independent and thousands of black slaves in Haiti were free for the first time. These ex-slaves built the monuments, which the WHL describes as "a universal symbol of liberty".Robben Island in South AfricaThis island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base. But it"s probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents "the triumph of democracy and freedom over oppression and racism".The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in IndiaThis railway was opened in 1881 and is still operating today. It crosses a difficult area of mountain landscape and it is a great example of railway engineering. The WHL says that it is "the first, and still the most outstanding, example of a hill passenger railway".Borders of France and SpainThis is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.The city of Brasilia, BrazilBrasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it "a landmark in the history of town planning". The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.World Heritage1 Special featuresReasons for being chosenOn which continentCitadel of HaitiEx-slaves built them2 3 Robben Island in SouthAfrica4 5 AfricaMandela was once aprisoner thereFreedom over oppressionand racismThe DarjeelingHimalayan Railway in In-diaThe first mountain rail-way for hill passengers6 AsiaBorders of France andSpain7 A type of agriculturewhich disappeared8 Interestinggeological formationsSmall farmsThe city of Brasilia, Brazil9 10 South AmericaCarefully designed （9）处填入（）

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero really is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning ear If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone"s lifeToday I look up the word "hero" in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read "a person who does something brave". And also "a person who is good and noble".That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages. Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes". In the writer"s opinion, who can be considered as a hero (No more than 8 words)
