Bill Gates is a very important person in the computer industry （电脑行业）. He has been CEO of Microsoft Corporation for several years. He is also one of the richest people in the world. How did he do it?
He learned a lot from his parents. While Bill was going to school, his father went to college and later became a successful lawyer. From this, Bill learned that you have to work hard if you want something. His mother was a very busy teacher, but she also enjoyed going to parties. From this, he learned something else: If you want to work hard and play hard, you have to plan carefully.
When Bill was young, he spent a lot of time alone. While most of his friends were playing, Bill read all of The World Book Encyclopedia ( 世界大百科全书 )and finished it when he was eight years old.
Bill also played a lot when he was young--swimming, water-skiing and tennis. He loved winning and he hated losing. When Bill got older, he spent more and more time working—and playing—on computers.
Before he was twenty, Bill had developed the world's first computer language. Once when he was thinking about the future, he thought that every home was going to have a computer one day, and every computer would need software—his software. He said, "I'm going to make my first million dollars by the time I'm twenty-five." And he did!

A man found himself in a very heavy rainstorm. Within a few hours the hotel he was staying in flooded(被淹没). The man climbed to the roof and started praying(祷告): “Please God, I believe you will save me. I don’t want to die.”
Just then, a team came in a boat to rescue (营救)him: “Sir, please get into the boat.” “No thanks, I’ll stay here.” the man refused. “God will save me.”
An hour later, the water was close to the roof of the hotel. Another boat arrived. “Sir, you’d better get in. The water is still rising.” The man, shaking his head, said nothing.
In the middle of the night, the hotel was almost completely under water and the man climbed onto the satellite dish (卫星电视天线盘) on the roof. A helicopter (直升飞机) came and shouted on a loudspeaker: “Sir, hold onto the line and we will pull you up. This is your last chance.” “I’m all right,” said the man, as he looked up. “I know God will come soon.”
Minutes later, lighting hit the satellite dish and killed the man.
When he arrived in Heaven(天堂), he was upset. “What happened?” he asked. “I thought God would save me!” Suddenly, God’s voice came: “Give me a break. I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”
