As a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20. While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later, he was a millionaire. And by 1992, as head of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in America with assets(资产)of nearly US $ 6.3 billion.

Born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October, 1956, Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather. From the beginning, he was an extremely energetic and intelligent child. He had read the entire world book encyclopedia(百科全书)by the age of nine. His favorite subjects at school were science and math and his favorite pastime was "thinking".

Gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13. Before long he became an expert at working the school's computer. After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA-Princeton, Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autunm, majoring maths. But he was still obsessed(占据心里)with computers and spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.

By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the 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 because until it came along, there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.

His next project was the software program that made him famous and very rich. It was called DOS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was purchased by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.

As chief executive officer(首席行政长官)of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man, but one who is not easily satisfied. He is quick to criticize his staff and hates to be questioned about decisions he has made. He was regarded as a loner and unfashionable boring computer nut until his marriage to Microsoft manager Melinda French on New Year's Day 1994. Yet to many people now, Gates, is a person who is, in spite of his great wealth, humble(谦恭)and ordinary. He spends his money carefully. He eats in fast food restaurants and flies economy class. And when praised for Microsoft's great success, he has been heard to say, "All we do is put software in a box and if people see it in the stores and like it, they buy it."

1.When he was a teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be a ______.

A.teacher           B.doctor            C.businessman       D.professor

3.Before the development of BASIC, ______.

A.no one was interested in computer software

B.software programs were not considered commercial projects

C.software programs were very expensive

D.no one wanted to pay for computer software

4.When the writer says "He was regarded as a loner and unfashionable boring computer nut", he means ______.

A.Bill was so strong-minded that no one could change his mind

B.The only thing that could interest Bill in his life was computer

C.Bill was such a boring young man that nobody would like to talk to him

In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.  71   By now, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter.  72 

     As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest.  73 

Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.

This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong.  74 

This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment.

      75 

A.  So she won the contest.

B.  As a result, she lost the contest.

C.  The judges wanted to give her another chance.

D.  It’s been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.”

E.  It’s so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow.

F.  They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.

G.  But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.

My parents decided to make a trip to Beijing. When they told me their decisions, I was so delighted. But my mother became worried with her flower, for nobody would take care of it. Seeing the worrying expression on her face, suddenly I remembered that an article in a magazine I had read earlier. It’s suggested in the article that people used a piece of cloth to take care of their plants when you are away. On the day we set off, I found a piece of cloth and put one end of them into the basin, which is full of water, and the other end into the flower pot. Three days later, while we came back from Beijing, flower was still alive.
