Several years ago, a television reporter was interviewing three of the most important people from local businesses. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

　The reporter was talking to them about being important.

　“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.

　The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”

　The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.

　The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”

　The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”

　“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”

　“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.

　“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”

When we interviewed what the life was like more than 70 years ago, many old soldiers were full of tears in their eyes. They told us that they never forgot those days when they were in the army, during which they lived hard lives but spared no effort to fight against the enemies.

Now in the year 2015 comes the first great parade(阅兵) in the 21st century. September 3rd is the 70th anniversary(纪念) of the victory of the anti-fascist (反法西斯主义的) war.

Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.

I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.

It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.

When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!

1.I wasn’t always happy because  ____________.

A. Prana loved apples
