Steven Jobs，who passed away on October 5 ,2011，was an American computer enterpriser and inventor. He was co-founder，chairman，and CEO of Apple Corporation. Jobs also previously served as CEO of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of the Walt Disney Company in 2006，following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.
In the late 1970s，Jobs-along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak，Mike Markkula and others-designed，developed，and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers，the Apple II series. In the early 1980s，Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface(界面),which led to the creation of the Macintosh. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985，Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT，a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets.

In 1986，he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd，which was turned out as Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50. 1 percent until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006.Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7 percent and a member of Disney's Board of Directors. On August 24 ,2011 ,Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO. Jobs died in California at age 56，seven years after being diagnosed with cancer. At the time of his resignation，and again after his death，he was widely described as a pioneer and genius-perhaps one of the foremost-in the field of business，innovation，and product design， and a man who had“deeply" changed the face of the modern world，revolutionized at least six different industries，and an“exemplar for all CEOs”.His death was widely mourned and considered a loss to the world by reviewers across the globe.

Maria, a 91-year-old woman, has an unbelievable experience last week. A group of thieves broke in her house but took nothing away with them. Maria recalled that the windows were broken and that all her box were opened, but nothing was missing. Instead, she found a handwritten note on the table that was said, “This is help you to get by.” Beside the note there was some money. It seemed that the thieves realized how poor Maria lived and decided not to take something—but to help. One policeman who has been working for 40 years is surprising by this event too. Later Maria kept the note received from her friendly thieves or used the money to buy sweets for his great grandchildren.

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park.” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”---Mike, Randy, and Alex --- came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared on within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍) . Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their eyes. Someone named “Not me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the fish bowl refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the sitting room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare center(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife is away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
1.When his wife left home, Brad expected___________.
A. go out for a walk in the park
B. watch TV talk show with his children
C. enjoy his first day off the work.
D. read the newspaper to his children
2.Which of the following did Randy do?
A. Drawing on the wall B. Eating apple jam
C. Feeding the fish D. Reading in a room
3.Why did Brad ask the daycare center for help?
A. Because he wanted to clean his house.
B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office
C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys
D. Because he had to take his wife back home.
4.The text is developed ____________.
A. by space B. by comparison
C. by process D. by time
