Spider-Man is often thought of as one of the best superheroes of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn’t created?

Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for old people. They flew in the sky and fought aliens. Stan Lee planned to change that.

When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comics’ books was getting canceled (取消). According to Stan Lee, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s iconic (标志性的) look. Together, they put Spider-Man onto the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most popular fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don’t give up!

1．What made Spider-Man different from other superheroes at that time?

A．A grown man with lots of courage.	B．A teenager with daily problems.
C．Never worrying about real-life problems.	D．Always fighting aliens from outer space.

2．Why did Stan Lee almost give up on the idea of Spider-Man?

A．Because his boss didn’t like the idea.	B．Because no artist wanted to work with him.
C．Because he ran out of ideas for the character.	D．Because his book was going to be canceled.

3．What does the underlined phrase “a huge hit” probably mean?

A．Brave.

B．Kind.

C．Successful.

D．Pleasant.

4．What does the writer want to tell us?

A．Superheroes are far away from us.	B．We need to change our ideas.
C．Giving up does not mean failure.	D．Being creative is all you need.
