Your hero might be your Mom, Dad or both of them. 【小题1】 my hero is Florence Kelley.

In 1871, 【小题2】 she was twelve years old, Keley’s father took her to a glass factory, 【小题3】(show) her the wonders of Americas factories, where she saw small children working with pots full of acid (酸). Kelley was angry. She later learned 【小题4】 there were over one million children working in hot, crowded and unsafe factories. The work was very 【小题5】(danger). Every year tens of thousands of kids died or were 【小题6】(serious) hurt. In 1889, Kelley knew something had to be done. She asked people not to buy goods that 【小题7】(make) by child workers. She gave speeches and wrote reports. Within a few years she became famous 【小题8】 the leader against child labor (童工). In 1893, Kelley 【小题9】(fight) for a new law in Illinois. That law said that no factories could have child workers.

Florence Kelley is certainly a hero to me. Because of her, you and I don’t need to work in 【小题10】(factory) and hold pots full of acid.
