　　Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime．With an estimated(估计)worth of more than ＄40 ?billion?, according to Forbes, the project will be no small feat(功绩)for Gates．Having already provided the Bill ＆ Melinda Gates Foundation with ＄24 billion to solve－_________, Gates said that in the end his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”．

　　So what has made the richest man in the world to put his resources so heavily into one interest．Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity” in which Americans take such pride in needs to extend to other nations around the world．Improving the health of the populations, he says, has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful．“National borders allow inequalities,” said Gates．“We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well．We have to step up these health problems, knowing how few resources are going into them．”

　　Gates said that both his parents set an example to him as a child．His father, William H．Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way．As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole heartedly to one project until he was about 60．

　　However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long．“It seemed there was a real time urgency, ” Gates said．“I started to think, How many lives could I save before then?”

　　“Should there be separate classes for boys and girls?It might be a wise idea, because it is difficult to satisfy all tastes,”researchers at Leeds University in the UK last week said．

　　According to their report, in Britain, boys want science lessons to be about weapons of mass destruction and the effects of chemical weapons, while girls prefer to learn how to keep fit or the meanings of their dreams．

　　The study among 15-year-olds aimed to discover how science might be made more popular．The researchers, who contracted 1,200 English students, say“most did not like science as much as other subjects．”

　　The difference in results has curriculum(课程)planners considering separate classes for each sex．“The responses show a strong interest among boys in destructive technologies,”say the researchers．“while girls, by contrast, ________ their own bodies．They want to know how to deal with eating disorders, and they are interested in how to beat cancer and how to keep fit．”The differences make teaching a mixed-gender class a very difficult job．

　　There was, though, agreement on what boys and girl least want to learn．Both sexes were bored by the thought of studying the benefits and possible dangers of modern farming methods．Neither did they want to study“famous scientists and their lives”．

　　The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an expected question,“Which is not important, law or love?”

　　Job applicants increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are qualities that reasonable intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．

　　In response, employers are increasingly using questions that can try and show the applicants' true personality．The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, ________ This is often called aptitude(智能)testing．

　　According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult．When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．

　　This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma(窘境)．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest．But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer．

　　When I asked my daughter which item she would keep：the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said,“the phone．”Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology．

　　Point 1．The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic．My daughter comes home from school at 4∶00 p.m.and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day．If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

　　Point 2．The mobile phone means that we are never alone．“The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnston．She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipto．Trapped inside, she managed to that brought the ambulance to her rescue．

　　Point 3．The mobile removes our secrets．It allows the market manager of Hana Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales stalls all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went．

　　Point 4．The telephone separates us．Antonella Bramante in Rome says,“We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window．It was easy to get his number．We were so near－but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”

　　Point 5．The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives．Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时)on chat lines(At least my daughter does．I wouldn't know what to talk about．)．We can talk across the world．We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any)while they're space walking．And, with the phone line booked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on the earth．
