Answer the questions.
1. What do you think the title means
Nothing is truly impossible because even the word "impossible" contains the phrase "I'm possible," suggesting that with effort, challenges can be overcome.
2. How do you understand Su Bingtian’s words in paragraph 5
Su Bingtian encourages young people not to let age limit them, to keep trying and pushing harder, because success comes from persistence.
3. What does the writer mean by "Everyone can be
a Su-perman!"
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.
