The Apple computer is very popular in the world, but the designer of the Apple Computer, Steve Jobs, was not quite successful in his early years. He was not among the best students at school, and from time to time he got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers. But he was full of new ideas, of which few people saw the value. Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out(退学)half way.

Steve Jobs worked first as a video game designer at Atari. He worked there only a few months and then he set out to tour India. He hoped that the trip would give him more ideas and give him a change in life for the better.

After he returned from India, he began to live on a farm in California. And then, in 1975, Steve Jobs set about making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Stephen Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his bedroom and built it in his garage(车库). He gave the name “Apple” because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard(果园) in Oregon.

His Apple Computer was so successful that Steve Jobs soon became worldwide famous. But unluckily, he died of illness in 2011.

1. Steve Jobs ______ when he was at school.

A . was an outstanding student

B. wasn’t the best student

TV is very popular in the world today. It presents a vivid world to us. We can watch exciting football games at home or “travel” to Beijing. After a full day’s work, we can relax ourselves by watching TV. Some entertainment programs can really help us to have a good time. They can refresh our mind and give us a new way of life. And we can also learn something from these kinds of TV programs.

However, watching TV too much can be harmful. It hurts our eyes and wastes our time. Some people will feel terrible after they watch TV for a whole night, because they do nothing that evening. If there is a program you like in the evening, maybe you will stay up late to watch it. So the next day you will get up late and have no energy for a whole day bleary-eyed（睡眼朦胧的）.

In my opinion, we should watch some TV programs. But we should not spend too much time on TV.
