　　Man has always wanted to fly. Even as long as eight hundred years ago, an Englishman had tried. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers and fixed them to his head. Then he jumped from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke several bones.

　　The first real attempt (尝试) at flying took place in France in 1783. The two Mentgolifier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large hot air balloon of cloth and paper. It measured ten metres in diametre (直径). They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. At the next attempt, they arranged (安排) for the balloon to carry passengers. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and the animals landed safely.

     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
