請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題
Superman is one of the oldest superheroes who has jumped from comic-book pages onto the movie screen. But
how was he created? In 1933, two Americans—Jerry Siegel, a writer, and Joe Shuster, an artist—wanted to create a
hero for the newspaper comics. Eventually, they developed Superman: a champion who will always fight against evil.
While no newspaper was interested in him, a comic-book publisher was. In June 1938, Action Comics #1 was
published. Superman was introduced to the world. This hero was the first one to have amazing “superpowers”: he was
superfast and superstrong. Superman was almost invincible, and feared by bad guys everywhere. Instantly, he was a
hit. Millions of boys and girls (and even adults) began buying Superman comics. They loved reading how Superman
would conquer villain after villain. In America during the 1930s, many people did not have jobs. Many felt hopeless.
When they read about Superman’s adventures, they began to believe in a better future. Superman is no stranger to the
mass media. He has been the star of newspaper cartoons, movies (released in 1978 and 2006), and television (first
broadcast in 1951). Young people today still enjoy his adventures. Superman may not have the most exciting
personality. But people know they can always depend on him.
