Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a rich banker（银行家）, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third had 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. He thought for a few moments and then said,“I think anyone who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.” The reporter turned to the owner of the very large company.“Do you agree with that?”she asked. The owner of the very large company shook her head.“No,”she said,“I don’t. 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 great power（强国），and the President of the United States said he was too busy to answer it.” The reporter turned to the person who owned many buildings.“Do you agree with that?” “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 asked. “Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the Prsident and the phone rang, and the President picked it up, listened and then said, It’s for you.’ That’s really important.” 1．This story happened in .

He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married. 5．A good title for this passage is . A. A Clever Assistant B.

You want to know what is going on in school in China. In short, things has begun to improve since schools were asked to reduce learning load. I don’t know about others, and I used to have work even at weekends doing endless homework and attending classes too. Now I had more free time. I can follow my own interests such as reading books, visiting museums, and take computer lessons. In the evenings you can watch TV or read newspapers. What’s more, I can go to the bed earlier. As far as I know, everyone is happy about this change. Best wishes. Li Hua
