Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after years-long and highly public battle with cancer.Mourners ( 哀悼者 ) gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.
Steve Jobs made technology fun.As tech leaders, they're really happy if they have one hit in their life.Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.
Steve Jobs was a college dropout.He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant. They supported his early interest in electronics.He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer —now just called Apple —in 1976.They stayed at the company until 1985.That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a debate with the chief executive.
Mr.Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer.He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT.He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today.However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health.He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement.Steve left behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
President Obama said in a statement: by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, Steve Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity (独创性的).By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive (有直觉力的) and fun.
The fact that he was able to redesign American business top to bottom and across is really stunning.He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so one of the greatest of all time.Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business.Steve Jobs was remembered as a "great visionary and leader" and a " marketing genius".
56.According to the second paragraph, the author wants to show that _____.
A.Steve Jobs owns many computer companies in America

59.This passage is mainly about _____.
A.the inventions of Steve Jobs             B.the childhood of Steve Jobs

B
Quit while you're ahead
I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no.I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be doing.I get work done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time.
That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.
Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end.I aspire (渴望) to be the opposite of that.The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there's no value in what he's doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important.
