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.

17.閱讀短文,根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)及首字母提示在文中的空格處填入適當(dāng)單詞,使短文完整、通順.
February 21is International Mother Language Day.The United Nations (聯(lián)合國(guó)) (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 (龜殼) with writing on them.Most Chinese characters are ideograms (表意文字) (79)which  combine(組合)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(認(rèn)為)of home as a place to hold treasures (財(cái)富).
As time went on,hundreds of thousands of words developed.However,people only use a few thousand of them in everyday life.Today,new words are still being (81)added(補(bǔ)充)to the Chinese dictionary,such as dishi (的士) for taxis,xiu (秀) for TV shows and fangnu (房奴) meaning"slave to one's home".
With the fast (82)development(發(fā)展)of China's economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)),more people from other countries are taking (83)interest(感興趣)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.
