Passage 65题材：文学传记类字数：398

It takes a lot of courage to deal with the fact that you have cancer.It takes even more courage to deal with losing a leg because of that cancer.However,it takes a true hero to then attempt to run across the second largest country in the world with an artificial leg in order to raise money for cancer.A man named Terry Fox was just such a hero.

Terry was only eighteen years old when doctors told him and his family that he had a type of bone cancer in his knee.The doctors said that they had to cut off Terry’s leg.Terry showed a great deal of courage when he lost his leg.He quickly learned to use his artificial leg,and he did not feel sorry for himself.He was thankful that he was still alive.

After his experiences with other cancer patients in hospital,Terry wanted to do something.Not a lot of people knew much about cancer at the beginning of the 1980s,and not a lot of money was going towards finding a cure or developing better treatments.Terry decided that he was going to raise one dollar for every person in Canada.The population of Canada at the time was 24million,so he planned to raise 24million dollars for cancer research,and he planned to do this by running across the county.

Depp went on to achieve teen idol status in the TV series 21Jump Street ,but after four seasons,he wanted out,with the hope of making the transition to the big screen.He starred in CryBaby ,followed by Tim Burtons’Edward Scissorhand s,after which he went on to win considerable critical acclaim in Ed Wood ,a reunion with Burtons.Depp made his feature directorial debut with The Brave in 1997,a film he also co-wrote and starred in.Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival,the film also featured Marlow Brando,but earned mostly negative reviews,with most critics blaming its weak script.Sleepy Hollow teamed him with director Burton yet again,before he starred in Ted Demme’s Blow ,and appeared in the thriller From Hell ,about Jack the Ripper.
