Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby.He finds old military(军队的)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 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 precious 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 significant. “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.

1.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?

A.In the army. B.In an antique shop.

C.From his mother. D.From Adeline Rockko.

2.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?
