5.Bill Gates is head of the software company Microsoft and one of the world's richest men.He was born on October 28,1955and grew up in Seattle with his two sisters.He was a very bright boy.Science and math were his two favorite subjects at school.And he dreamed of being a scientist.
Bill first started to play on computers at the age of 13.At that time,a computer was a very large machine.Once he was interested in a very old computer.He and some of his friends spent as much time as possible on computers.In the end,they worked out a software program.Bill sold it for 4,200dollars when he was only 17.
In 1973,Bill went to Harvard University.In 1975,Bill and his partners developed a software program called BASIC.This was notthe first program ever created,but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.
BASIC was a success.Then Bill left Harvard to work for Microsoft,a company he started in 1975with his boyhood friend Paul Allen.They thought the computer would come into every office and every home soon.So they began developing software for personal computers.They improved the software to make it easier for people to use computers.
After many years of hard work,Microsoft becomes one of the most successful companies.And Bill Gates also becomes one of the richest businessmen in the world.

February 21is International Mother Language Day.The United Nations (联合国) (76)named (命名)it in 1999.The day aims to protect all languages around the world.In China,most people speak Chinese as their mother language.
More people speak Chinese than any other language in the world.About one fifth of the world's population (人口) speaks a form of Chinese,the BBC (77)reported.?
The (78)earliest  known written record of Chinese is the oracle bone script (甲骨文) of the Shang Dynasty (17th century BC-11th century BC).These are animal bones,especially tortoise shells (龟壳) with writing on them.Most Chinese characters are ideograms (表意文字) (79)which  combine(组合)two or more words together to make a new one,for example,jia(家)means"a pig under the roof".This shows that people in ancient (古代的) times (80)thought(认为)of home as a place to hold treasures (财富).

With the fast (82)development(发展)of China's economy (经济),more people from other countries are taking (83)interest(感兴趣)in Chinese.In a survey in the US last December,2,007people were asked:"Which new foreign language would you learn?"Chinese placed second,(84)after Spanish,with 15percent of the vote.
Confucius Institutes (孔子学院) around the world are more (85)popular than ever.More than 300colleges in over 90countries have Confucius Institutes,USA Today reported.
