“Three Apples” changed the world. The first one seduced (引誘) Eve. The second one awakened Newton. 1. Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share.
On Character
I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. 2.
On good design
That’s been one of my mottoes — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex — You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
On his outlook
3. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.
On your working life
Your work is to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. 4. If you haven’t found it, keep looking. Don’t settle.
On the importance of death
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. 5. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
A. It’s very character-building.
B. This is not a one-man show.
C. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs
D. And yet death is the destination we all share.
E. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
F. Being the richest man in the cemetery (墓地) doesn’t matter to me
G.. It’s really hard to design products by focusing on groups.
1.How to get started with bird-watching.

Dear Tracy,
I want to make friends with those who have same interests, but I am continually disappointing. No one I know have the same interests as I. Mine include read books and newspapers, watching news programmes, listening music and so on. But my friends were only interested in talking about the best way to make lots of money and what they will buy with them. That you know, friends are very important, so I don’t know where and how to find the friends I want. Can you offer me some suggestion?

Heroes of Our Time
A good heart
Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship（獎學金） to study medicine — but Coach (教練) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”
Success and kindness
After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos (錄像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: “I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.”
Bravery and courage
A few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails (鐵軌), and held him as the train passed right above their heads. He insists he’s not a hero. He says: “We have got to show each other some love.”
1.What was Mutombo praised for?
A. Being a star in the NBA.

D. His willingness to help the needy.
2.What did the Baby Einstein Company do at its beginning?
A. Produce safety equipment for children.
B. Make videos to help protect children.

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?
1.Why were there tears in the husband’s eyes when the wife read his annoyances?
A. Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.
B. Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife’s eyes.
C. Because he was sorry that he didn’t find any annoyance about his wife.
D. Because he didn’t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.
2.After hearing the husband’s words, the wife felt _________.
A. moved and ashamed B. sad and disappointed
C. satisfied and proud D. surprised and confused
3.The story is intended to tell us that ___________.
A. disappointment cannot be avoided in our life
B. young couples should be more tolerant (寬容的) to each other
C. we should turn a blind eye to other people’s blame
D. we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around us

In fine department stores everywhere, you’ll see the light-blue boxes of Estee Lauder. These popular cosmetics (化妝品) are sold in more than 130 countries. Who’s the woman behind this worldwide cosmetics empire (帝國)? Estee Lauder herself, of course. This businesswoman became, for a time, the world’s richest self-made woman. Her secret? “I didn’t get there by dreaming about it,” she would say. “I got there by doing it.” Estee was born in the early 1900s in Queens, New York. Her father ran a hardware (五金器具) store, and from him Estee learned how to be a successful salesperson. Estee learned from her uncle John Schotz, too. He made creams in a small laboratory behind the family’s house. Estee watched him. Soon, she was experimenting with her own cosmetics. She put lipstick (唇膏) and creams on any female relative who’d let her, until her annoyed father told her to stop.
She married Joseph H. Lauder in 1930, and continued her experiments. She would cook dinner for the family, and at the same time, make her face creams. Then she began to sell her products in a Manhattan beauty shop.
In 1960, Estee began to sell her products in Europe. After many tries she succeeded and began selling her products in some stores in London. But France proved even more difficult. The store Galleries Lafayette refused to sell her products. So Estee “by accident” dropped a bottle of youth dew (香水) on the floor in the cosmetics department. As the scent spread around the store, customers came over and asked to buy it. The store soon began selling Estee’s products.
Estee led her company until 1982, when her son Leonard took over the business. Until her health worsened in the mid-1990s, she continued to attend the opening of a new store wherever in the world. She died on April 24, 2004. Estee Lauder’s talent as a saleswoman was extraordinary. Her son Leonard said, “There was never anyone who could sell like she could.” All who worked for Estee appreciated her special talent.
1.Which of the following can best describe Estee Lauder?
A. A successful cosmetics saleswoman.
B. A beautiful shop owner in London.
C. A popular cosmetics producer in France.
D. A founder of a cosmetics company in America.
2.What was Estee Lauder’s father’s attitude towards her when she tried her products on her female relatives?
A. He supported her and helped her.
B. He didn’t care about what she did.
C. He was very angry at her for what she did.
D. He was proud of what she did.
3.Estee managed to get her products known to the French customers by dropping a bottle of youth dew on the floor in the cosmetics department of a store ______.
A. on purpose B. with the store’s permission
C. by accident D. carelessly
4.The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. Estee’s product B. a customer’s praise
C. a pleasant smell D. the broken pieces of glass
