Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. 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 Whiter House to meet the President of the United States 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 of the US 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.”

    That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
    “ Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said,” Hello, Karmen. I'm Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.
    One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she didn't still turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遗嘱)， which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
    Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remembered the wonderful friendship we had.

    Do you want to cure all the diseases in the world? It seems like an impossible job, but Priscilla Chan is trying really hard to achieve it.
Chan is a 32-year-old woman from the United States. Many people may know her as the wife of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. But Chan herself has done a lot to help people.
    Chan and Zuckerberg said in September they would give out $3 billion(20 billion yuan) in the next 10 years to help deal with all of the world's diseases. As a doctor, Chan was a big driver in this decision. “We hope that all of our children can live long and healthy lives in the future,” she said.
    Besides health, Chan also cares about children's education. Before becoming a doctor, Chan taught science to fourth and fifth graders at a school in California for a year. This year she started a project called The Primary School. It provides education for children from kindergarten to the twelfth grade.
    Chan herself knows how important education is to a child. She has a Chinese father and a Vietnamese mother. Her parents didn't receive much education. But they worked hard to make sure Chan and their other two daughters would have the best opportunities. Chan went to Harvard University in 2003 and now works as a doctor. “ I realized that I was so lucky to be what I was,” said Chan. “so now, I will try my best to help others. I hope they can also have their opportunities to reach their dreams and be what they would like to be.”
