on the island ? "

Story or Finding Nemo? Those are just a few of the ways your life was touched by the work and
imagination of Steve Jobs.
Jobs, a cofounder of Apple Computer, died on Wednesday, October 5, 2011. He was 56 and had
been battling cancer since 2004.
Jobs and his childhood friend, Steve Wozniak, designed and built the first Apple computer in Jobs"s
parents" garage in the 1970s. The Apple II, built the first Apple computer to be widely sold to the public.
Jobs was just 21 years old then.
He didn"t stop there. Jobs"s imagination kept active. He went on to invent more devices (设备) that
allowed people to bring their own creativity and preferences to computing: the Macintosh, the ipod, the
iphone, the ipad.
Jobs also changed the music and the film industries. He started Pixar, an animated film production
company. Toy Story (1995) was the world"s first computer-animated feature film. He also persuaded
music companies to start selling music digitally through Apple"s Tunes.
"Steve was among the greatest of American innovators (改革者)-brave enough to think differently,
confident enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it," said President
Barack Obama in a statement posted on the White House blog. " By making computers personal and
putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution (信息革命) not only accessible,
but fun. The world has lost a visionary (远见者). And there may be no greater tribute to Steve"s success
than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented."

could 1 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by
Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 2 in class.
When I took the first exam, I was 3 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 4 English was my best
subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 5 .
I decided to try harder, although I didn"t know what that 6 because school had always been easy for
me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 7 with Professor Jayne. Again, he
listened patiently but wouldn"t change his 8 .
One more test before the final exam. One more 9 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and,
for the first time, 10 the meaning of the word "thorough". But my 11 did no good and everything 12 as
before.
The last hurdle was the final. No matter what 13 I got, it wouldn"t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well
kiss the 14 goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the
final, I even 15 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I"d have 16 with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne"s office. He 17 to be
expecting me, "If I gave you the A as you 18 , you wouldn"t continue to work as hard."
I stared at him, 19 that his analysis and strategy were correct, I had worked my head 20 , as I had
never done before.
I was speechless, when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I
received my scholarship. I"ve always remembered Professor Jayne"s lesson: You alone must set your own
standard of excellence.

| After spending three days in a wheelchair, I was ready to quit. Not only did I have to battle cracked and uneven pavements, I had to deal with the bad attitude of pedestrians and a cold rain. But I didn"t give up because of people like Tiffany Payne. Payne, who has been using a wheelchair for 18 years, laughed at me, "Imagine trying to get around town in the winter," she said. I could see her point: You"re battling to get to a doctor"s appointment, but no one has shoveled after a big snowfall. Your choices: Move out and risk getting stuck, or reschedule the appointment. Those of us fortunate enough to get around on our own two legs don"t give a second thought to the person in a wheelchair next to us at a crosswalk. That would require us to look down. So I decided to try using a wheelchair to get a sample of what their lives are like. It wasn"t long before I saw that people who use wheelchairs are forced to deal with a lot of trouble. During my experiment, I was ignored by store staff while shopping and bumped into by inattentive walkers without so much as an apology. Some people even gave me angry looks as if I were the one at fault. Once in a store, a woman bumped into me trying to get to the new iPad. She didn"t say, "Excuse me." When salespeople did offer assistance, they talked to people who were with me, instead of me. I wanted to yell, "Hey, I"m down here!" Some salespeople talked to me as though I were a child or acted like they didn"t want to be bothered with me. People who use wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else. They also comprehend, so you don"t have to speak to them in a childlike, sing-song voice. It"s not very appealing, especially when the person is an adult. And most importantly, remember they have feelings that can be hurt just like yours. Spending three days in a wheelchair made me look differently at those who have to use one. I hope you do the same. | ||||||||||||
