A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime. With an estimated (估計(jì)) worth of more than $40 billion, according to Forbes, the project will be no small feat (功績(jī)) for Gates. Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”.
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity” in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the population, he says, has proven to be an essential (實(shí)質(zhì)的) method in helping poor countries to be financially successful. “National borders allow inequalities,” said Gates: “We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well. We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them.”
Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child. His father, William H. Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way. As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long. “It seemed there was a real time urgency (緊迫),” Gates said. “I started to think, how many lives could I save before then?”
【小題1】.. Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to ___.

A．improve the health of population in America alone
B．improve the health of population all over the world
C．a(chǎn)void leaving his children too much money
D．spare the American government the burden of health care
【小題2】.. Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is ___.
A．to set up more foundations for themB．to aid them with natural resources
C．to put more effort into the health issues in themD．to help them take a more global view
【小題3】. It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks ___.
A．Americans should care about people in other countries
B．Americans should treat fellow citizens well
C．Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
D． Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune
【小題4】.. Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of ___.
A．his weakening health conditionB．his parents’ suggestions
C．his great success in businessD．his concern for suffering people
【小題5】. The underlined word “channel” probably has a similar meaning as it is used in sentence “___”.
A．Try to channel your abilities into something useful
B．We ought to channel this street so that water can flow away easily
C．Ships must follow the channel into the portD．Which channel will you be broadcasting tonight

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（資產(chǎn)）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（百科全書(shū)）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（占據(jù)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（首席行政長(zhǎng)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（謙恭）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

2.When Gates went to Harvard, he ______.

A．was only interested in maths

B．spent most of his time in computer laboratories

C．developed the first computer software program

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

D．Bill couldn't work out the boring computer programs

5.Most people think that Bill Gates is ______.

A．a(chǎn) crazy person                         B．a(chǎn) person obsessed with making money

C．someone who spends money freely         D．a(chǎn) quite common, normal person
