A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States．The book contains（包含） the name，photo， and signature （签名） of each student in your final year， so that you can remember who you went to school with．A 15﹣year﹣old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this．They thought，"Why not have a yearbook online？You could learn about people's music tastes， the movies they like，and so on．"
Catherine thought of the name﹣ myYearbook．com， and the logo （图标）． To advertise the site Catherine and David wore T﹣shirts with the site logo to school and soon hundreds of their schoolmates became users of the site． She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India， and collecting ideas from her schoolmates． Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website．
MyYearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and "collecting" friends．

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.”
