We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. I really didnt know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. n a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apples current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. Im convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. Youve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for y our lovers. Your work is going 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. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle.48How many people were there in Apple when it was first started?A2.B30.C4000.D20.49From the speech we can learn that Jobs was fired from apple because .Ahe was less talented to run the companyBhe had different ideas about the future of AppleChe was too young to manage such a big companyDhe wanted to try his luck in other businesses50After leaving Apple Jobs .Aran away from the valleyBwas rejected by his previous partnersCrestarted his own careerDwas hired by another company named Pixar51How did Jobs return to Apple?AHe bought Apple.BNeXT became part of Apple.CHis friends invited him.DHis wife was working in Apple.52According to Jobs, the secret of success lies mainly in .Ahaving a good educationBfinding a good partner来源: Chard working and a happy familyDdoing what you really loveDRemote Office SeeretariesWe know that in modern businesses, there are times when the office is busy and times when it is quiet.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.On December, 11,2001,as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states launched Operation Safe Travel raids(突袭) on airports to arrest employees with false identification（身份证明）In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrestsBut those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South AmericanAuthorities said the undocumented workers illegal status made them open to blackmail（讹诈）by terrorists. Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable(用完即丢的) goodsMayor Anderson said those feelings could be understood to a certain extentWere saying we want you to work in these places. Were going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are. And then when its convenient for us, or when we try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept11, then youre disposable. There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons, Anderson saidIf Sept11 had never happened the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitelyAna Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerrys ice cream shop at the airporthad been working 10 years with the same false Social Aecurity card when she was arrested in the December airport raidNow she and her family are living under the threat of deportation（驱逐出境）。Castros case is currently waiting to be settledWhile she awaits the outcome ,the governmen
