As the Years Turn

　　For her 82nd birthday, I gave my grandmother a surprise. I gave her a birthday greeting. It was singed(签名) by the President. (This service is available(可用的)to old people over 80 years old.) I asked grandma: “How do you feel? This card is from the White House(白宫).” She had a ready answer. “There’s no secret in this country any more,” she said. “They even know your birthday.”
