1 What do you think the title means
4
Answer the questions.

4
Answer the questions.

Su-perman!"

Answer the questions.
Suggested answer:The writer means that anyone can achieve extraordinary success (like Su Bingtian) if they work hard and never give up. The pun "Su-perman" combines "Su" (his surname) and "Superman," implying that he is a hero, and others can be too.

Think and share
2 How do you think youngsters can write their stories

Sample
As the first overall NBA draft pick from China in 2002, Yao Ming faced enormous pressure. Critics doubted his ability to compete with Western players, while his 2.29 m height caused chronic foot injuries. The cultural and language barriers in America made his transition even harder.
Yao won respect through relentless work ethic, practicing English daily and adapting his playing style. Despite multiple surgeries, he always returned stronger. His self-deprecating humor and professionalism won over fans and silenced doubters.
Sample
The 8-time NBA All-Star revolutionized basketball's popularity in China. He averaged 19.0 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, becoming the first Asian player in the Basketball Hall of Fame (2016). His Yao Foundation has built 23 schools benefiting 10,000+ children.
Yao proved that talent transcends borders. More than an athlete, he became a cultural ambassador whose impact continues through his philanthropic work. His journey teaches us that true success comes from perseverance and bridging differences.
