BZachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military (军队的) medals for sale in antique (古董) stores
and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals’ rightful owners, and returns them.
　　His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart
with the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart—he got
one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
　　Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her,
the woman flooded him with questions, “Who are you? What antique shop?” However, when she hung up, she felt
1
sorry about the way she had answered the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet
Zac in Watertown, N.Y. “At that point, I knew she meant business,” Zac says. “To drive eight hours to come to see
me.”
　　 The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army
during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
　　Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one
Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure. “This medal was very valuable to my parents. Only on special
occasions (场合) would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands,” Adeline says.
　　As a child, Adeline couldn’t understand why the medal was so important. “But as I grew older,” Adeline
says, “and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left.” Corrado Piccoli’s
Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
　　Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado’s medal, Zac
says his record is now 5 for 5.
4. Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?
　 A. In the army. 　　B. In an antique shop.
　 C. From Adeline Rockko. D. From his mother.
5. What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?
　 A. She didn’t believe his honesty. B. She was serious about the medal.
　 C. She was very impolite. D. She came from a rich family.
6 What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?
　 A. Her knowledge of antiques. B. Her parents’ advice.
　 C. Her childhood dream. D. Her memory of her brother.
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-
improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The
only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us . When do
we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to
stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and
difficult.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is
falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when
we ignore(忽视) it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another. We are all going to finally unlock our self-
improvement power not because the world says so. But because we realize it's for our own good.
Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace ( 拥 抱 )it. Unlocking our self-improvement power
means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people
who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her
family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a
great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we
might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully
improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would
build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power
will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

Circles can be found everywhere in the natural world, but with no exact way to measure(测量) them they are very
mysterious and might never be completely understood. When you take the distance around a circle and divide it
by the distance across a circle, you will always get Pi. While Pi is about 3.14 when rounded, it is endlessly long.
With the help of computers, mathematicians( 数学家) have been able to work Pi out to over a trillion decimal
places(小数点后万亿位). This makes Pi mysterious, even to the most famous mathematicians.
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14, since the way we write this date, 3/14, looks just like Pi when rounded. In
2009, U. S. Congress voted to formally make March 14 Pi Day. Certain parts of the world—places where March
14 is written as 14/3—will instead celebrate Pi Approximation Day which takes place on July 22nd because of the
division(除法) result of 22/7.
Pi has appeared in movies, comics, music, and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to
create a sense of mystery, the symbol Pi is used,” says Blatner. People also love working to remember the
digits(数位) of Pi and competing against others to see who can remember most. The Guinness World Record for
remembering the most digits of Pi is held by Lu Chao of China, who successfully remembered Pi to nearly 67,000
decimal places.
Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number, according to Blatner. People will celebrate Pi Day by
eating pie and throwing pie, and with fun Pi-related games. Princeton, New Jersey holds a series of Pi-related
festivities. Events this year include a surprise birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on
March 14, and a “Walk a Pi Event” where participants will walk 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself,
the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.
10. What makes Pi mysterious?
A. Being unable to write it as an expression B. Ways to use it when rounded
C. Ways to divide a circle D. Its endless decimal places
11. Why is Pi Day celebrated in some places on July 22nd?
A. Because it is announce formally B. Because that day is easier to remember
C. Because the division result is similar to Pi D. Because it was corrected originally
12. What is the goal of using Pi in films according to Blatner?
A. To make the films more frightening B. To call for viewers’ attention
C. To move more viewers D. To add something mysterious to the film
13. What can we learn from the text?
A. Many states in the USA celebrate Pi day on July 22nd
