Unit 2 The United Kingdom（45分钟）阅读理解AWhen Steve Jobs was born on February 24,1955，in San Francisco，California，his unmarried mother decided to put him for adoption because she wanted a girl. So in the middle of the night，his mother called a lawyer named Paul Jobs and said，“We have an unexpected baby boy；do you want him？”But his mother told his future parents to promise that they would send Jobs to college. After Steve Jobs graduated from high school，he went to college but decided to drop out because it was so expensive that he had to sleep on the floor in his friends rooms.At 20，he and a friend(Steve Wozniak) started a company in a garage on April 1,1976. Jobs named their company Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard(果园) worker in Oregon.After 10 years of hard time and failures，starting from two kids working in a garage，Apple computer eventually grew into a big company with over 4,000 employees.At 30，Jobs，however，was fired from the company he cofounded. But after he had left the company，Apple was under heavy pressure from rival(对手) Microsoft and in 1996 posted billions of dollars in losses. Apple needed Steve Jobs and he was appointed as Apples CEO in 1997.Under his leadership，Apple returned to profitability and introduced new products such as the iPod，the iPhone and the iPad.Steve Jobs once said，“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.

If you havent found it yet，keep looking.”1Steve Jobs didnt finish his college education because he _.Awanted to start a company Bhad financial problemsCtook no interest in his majorDhated to share rooms with his friends2It can be inferred that Apple _.Awas founded in OregonBdeveloped from a garageChad a difficult beginningDhad a successful beginning3From Paragraph 4 we can know that Steve Jobs _.Ajoined Microsoft in 1987Bgave Apple a second lifeCset up another company at 30Dinvented the iPhone4What can we learn from what Steve Jobs said?AInterest is the key to success.BHope helps us succeed.CAttitude is everything.DCourage goes with confidence.BI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the centre of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I want to tell you today: get a life, a real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲). It is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had had my choice, my life would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learnedby telling them this: read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.1The best title of this passage is probably “_”A. Love your friends B.
