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. He was full of new ideas, but few people saw the value of them. Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out of college halfway.
Steve Jobs worked first as a video game designer at Atari. He worked there for only a few months and then he was sent out to visit India. He hoped that the trip would give him more ideas and give him a chance 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 began to make 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 helped him to remember the happy summer he once had 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 2012.

You want to know about my staying in America, right Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you ” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” Or “I’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up ” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and American cultures.
To my surprise, American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.
I am also surprised by how hard-working American students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented. I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and I have never thought about sports.
