3、computers we have today. But it changed my life.When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of acomputer on every desk and in every home, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators.

6、friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it tap-dancing to Work.

19、 RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案与题解：1.A文章第三段中比尔?盖茨说，当他念七年级时，电脑就是冰箱那么大小。2.A文章第三段比尔?盖茨说，他30年前与Paul Allen一起创办微软公司时就梦想一桌一机、一户一机，而且从其他各段也可以看到他对电脑有很多的期待。3.B从第七段第二句可以看到作这样比较的是他的朋友Warren Buffett，而不是他自己。4.B在倒数第三段，比尔?盖茨已经明确说，所有这些儿童的死亡都一样令人伤心和悲痛，没有什么区别。5.c文章没有提到他给慈善机构捐款的事。6.A倒数第四段比尔?盖茨认为他一生好运，就理应回报社会，所以他和他的妻子做出了

20、承诺，要帮助尽可能多的人改善医疗和教育条件。7.C文章没有提到。译文：第十一篇比尔盖茨：发挥你的创造力我一直是个乐观主义者，我想这是因为我深信创造力和智慧能使世界变得更美好。在我的记忆中，我喜欢学习新东西、解决难题。所以当我七年级时第一次坐在电脑前时，我立刻被吸引住类。那是一台笨重的旧式电传打字机，跟我们今天的电脑相比几乎什么事都不能做。但是它却改变我的一生。30年前我和朋友保罗艾伦创办微软的时候，我们预见到一个“每个办公桌和每个家庭都会有一台电脑”的时代。在那个计算机像冰箱一样大的时代，这听起来也许太乐观了一点。但是我们相信个人计算机会改变世界。而它们真的做到了。 30年后的今天，计算机仍然

21、会激发我的热情，好像我又回到了七年级的年代。我认为计算机是能满足我们的好奇心，激发我们创造精神的最神奇的工具，它能帮助我们解决最聪明的人都不能独自解决的问题。计算机改变了我们的学习方式，为世界各地的孩子们提供了一个学习各种知识的窗口。它帮助我们就我们所关心的事情建立一个交流的场所，并且与那些我们认为对我们有重要意义的人密切相处，不管他们身在何处。和我的朋友沃伦巴菲特一样，我每天都在做着自己喜欢做的事，对此我感到非常幸运。他说这就像是“跳着踢踏舞工作”。我在微软的工作一直非常具有挑战性，而当我们向人们展示我们的新成果( 比如计算机能识别手写体或语言，或者能储存一生的珍贵照片) 人们说没想到你们能

22、用个人计算机做出这样的成就时，那感觉的确像是“跳着踢踏舞工作”。除了我们能用计算机做的所有神奇的事情，还有很多其他方式发挥我们的创造力和智慧，从而使世界更加美好。这个世界上还有很多的人基本需求都得不到满足。例如，每年都有成千上万的人死于疾病，而这些疾病在发达国家是能轻而易举得到控制或治疗的。我认为拥有财富的同时我有责任回报世界。所以，我和妻子梅林达承诺推进健康与教育事业，以帮助尽可能多的人。作为一位父亲，我相信一个非洲儿童的夭折和其他地方孩子的夭折一样令人心酸和悲痛。而要改善这些孩子们的命运，其实不难。如今，我仍然是一个乐观主义者，我仍然相信即使是世界上最棘手的问题，也一样能得到改善的确，世界

23、每天都在进步。我们看到治疗致命疾病的新药物和新诊断工具出现，看到人们更多关注发展中国家的健康问题。医疗、教育和科技发展的美好前景使我激动万分。我坚信，以我们与生俱来的发明精神、创造力和乐于解决棘手问题的精神动力，我们一定能在这些领域做出惊人的成绩。我希望我能亲眼见到这些成绩。第十四篇：Stage Fright（A级）Fall down as you come onstage.
