阅读理解     One of the greatest stories of rags to riches success is that of Andrew Carnegie, who started life in
poverty but became one of the richest men in the world.
     Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835, the son of a weaver. In 1848, the family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began to work in a cotton mill, earning $1.5 per week.About three years later,
he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy. At work, his superiors (上级) were impressed by
his abilities and willingness to work hard. In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. This was his first big break. He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,
gaining_more_and_more_responsibility.At the same time, Carnegie loved reading very much and made
use of every opportunity to visit the library.He read widely on all subjects, particularly literature.

successful investments. He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself, owning
several iron and steel plants. This was where he made his fortune.By the 1890s, the Carnegie Steel
Company was the biggest and most profitable business in the world.

his word, in 1901, at the age of 66, he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity
work.

way of success. His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard, his
intelligence and good business sense, and his talent for making things happen. He died in 1919 at the age
of 83.1. What can be learnt from the text?A. Carnegie"s employers had a high opinion of him.

     Today, no one thinks of Bill Gates as a failed entrepreneur or a college dropout yet. Both of these
things are true of Gates, American richest man and the pioneering genius who leads the computer
software industry.
     Gates was born in Seattle in 1955. Young Gates" grades weren"t always great. Although he did well in

amount he spent. It wasn"t long, though until his programming passion turned toward real goals. He and

technology to count passing cars. The company went broke. After all he was only in the eighth grade.

that he later dropped out of Harvard. He spent two dissatisfying years at the university before he left to

1970s it was only a small operation running out of loaned office in Arizona. Gates would work late into
the night and sometimes sleep under his desk. Today, Microsoft is the software industry giant. As
