Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military medals for sale in antique 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 earned 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 regretted the way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologised. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, NY. "At that point, I knew she meant business," Zac says. "To drive eight hours to come to see me."
The Piccolis lived in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army during the Second World War, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realised the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure. "This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions 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 significant. "But as I grew older," Adeline says, "and missed my brother more and more, I realised 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.

A. In the army.

2. What did Zac realise when Adeline drove to meet him
A. She was very impolite.
B. She was serious about the medal.
C. She suspected his honesty.
D. She came from a wealthy family.
3. What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart
A. Her parents' advice.

C. Her childhood dream.
D. Her memory of her brother.
II. 七选五。
For each working person,occupied with endless things to do,you can always find that more things are not part of your job,such as other colleagues asking for your help or bosses making new demands. 1 In fact,just by doing the following three steps,you can usually make yourself and the other person comfortable while refusing them.
Listen attentively.
What you need to do is stop what you’re doing,and carefully listen to what they say. Even if your time is limited,it is best for you to do so. 2 In this way,even if you eventually refuse them,they will understand that you are not available. In addition,this willing-to-help attitude is also a helping hand of leadership.
Start with a conclusion when refusing.
There is a saying goes like “People tend to judge others by results”.3 We all hope that other people will come to a conclusion quickly,but when we speak,we instinctively start from the beginning of the story and the other person usually does not have so much patience to hear you finish your speaking,and by the time you come to the conclusion,their attention has long gone.
If you want to refuse somebody,just tell them NO,and then explain the reasons why.
4
Maybe you really don’t have the time to listen to the other person’s request. For example,you have to get off work on time that day and the work at hand is urgent. In situations like this,don’t just tell the other person that you don’t have the time. 5 In addition,if you have finished listening to the other person’s needs and finally choose to refuse him,you can also recommend to him a person who you feel can help him.
In a word,refusal is inevitable,but the way of refusal is optional.
A.Provide an alternative solution.
B.How can we reasonably refuse them
C.This principle can also be applied to daily conversations.
D.It is polite to offer help without hesitation at his or her request.
E.The point is to let the other person see that you are willing to help.
F.Instead,you should give them some time when you would be available.
G.An inappropriate refusal may cause great harm to your working life.
