The richest man in the world can now also claim a degree from the college he dropped out of three decades ago. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates delivered the commencement (典礼) address at Harvard University on Thursday, and was awarded the L. L. D. honorary doctorate (博士头衔).

“Our speaker is known as the most influential entrepreneur(企业家) of the personal computer revolution. He was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2004, 2005, 2006 and again in 2007, ” said Harvard’s president, Derek Bok. Then Bok spoke more directly to Gates: “Just think what you could have achieved if you had stayed another two years.”

Gates told the students, many of whom will soon be launching into full-time careers, that work isn’t the only thing of importance.

“Judge yourself not on the professional accomplishments but on how well you have addressed the world’s inequities, how you have treated people who have nothing to do with you,” he said.

In recent months, Gates has been giving a larger part of his time and energy to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which focuses on issues including global health and education. In 2008, he plans to make the foundation his chief responsibility.

But for the most part, the Microsoft co-founder stuck to the serious message about trying to make the world a better place. He urged the graduates not to get discouraged about seemingly intractable (棘手的) challenges of poverty and poor health.

As many as 30,000 people were expected to attend the outdoor commencement ceremony. Gates wasn’t the only high-profile speaker on the Cambridge campus this week. On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton delivered Harvard’s Class Day speech. Gates and Clinton have collaborated (合作) on great efforts to fight the AIDS epidemic in developing countries. Recent past Harvard commencement speakers have included journalist Jim Lehrer in 2006, actor and writer John Lithgow in 2005 and United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in 2004.

When my son was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival in our town. He didn't come home at lunch time, phoning 36 to tell me he was fine and had found a few days' work 37 out at an exhibit. However, after he finished work he 38 for supper as usual.

I asked him how he had 39 at lunch and he told me he had made some new 40 at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had 41 him a few dollars and invited him for lunch 42 for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to 43 the next day to help with other chores (杂务).

I was glad he had found new friends but a little 44 about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. "Oh, Mum, these are just 45 everyday people like anyone else. They 46 work at a carnival instead of in a store or something". "Come down tomorrow and 47 them yourself," he said.

Do you know that their mum has to make all their clothes 52 it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They're also really good 53 . Today, Joe, one on the fight, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch. "

Freshmen, eager to get home for the Chinese New Year, queue up at the railway station for hours．Days later, they squeeze into a crowded train and dream of the home-cooked meals and love they'll enjoy once they arrive home．This, they say, makes all the trouble of getting home worthwhile.

However, many freshmen come to find that home is not exactly how they remembered it．Living away from their parents has exposed them to a new life of freedom – one that within hours of arriving some begin to miss．Household chores（家务活）and complaining parents are just a few of the things that can ruin students' winter fantasies．“My parents still treat me like I was in senior high,” Song Ying, a 19-year-old freshman at Shandong University, complained．“I get an earful from them every day.”

During her first term away from her Hubei home, Song missed everything – from her parents cooking to the city bus．She cried and ached to sleep in her own bed．So, upon finishing her exams, she fled home, thinking everything would be just as it used to be．But she was wrong．Now, she spends entire days at a friend's home to “avoid all the restrictions”．She logs online to update friends' profile on SNS, skips meals and sleeps in – just like she did on campus.

Things have been even tenser at home for Luo Ruiqi, a 19-year-old freshman at Beijing Jiaotong University．Instead of moving to a friend's house, though, he has decided to challenge his parents' rules for his right to be an adult at home．When they complained about the amount of time he spent in the toilet, Luo said he decided “enough is enough” and lost his temper．He feels guilty about his attitude, but he still argues that he is grown up enough to live by his own rules．“I just want to live my own way of living, wherever I am,” said Luo．

Recent graduates like Wang Kai know what Song and Luo are going through．But Wang, who graduated in 2008 and now works in Beijing, says students should value the time spent with their family and “just try to be nicer.” Wang says he acted the same way when he first returned home from college, but now, living 1,500 km away from his hometown in Hunan, he regrets his behavior．He realizes that his parents meant well．And, looking back, he says that “the way of living that we got used to on campus is not that healthy anyway”.

Parents, meanwhile, are more understanding than you might think．“Living on their own in a strange place can be hard –we've been there before,” said Luo's father．“We want to make sure that they are healthy and happy．Sometimes maybe we just worry too much.” As for the tension that's arisen between father and son, Luo senior laughed and said, “It's not a problem at all – he's my son; we work things out, always.”

C．He feels guilty about his attitude towards his parents.

A．parents want to bring their children under control as before.

B．children look down upon what their parents always do.

C．their way of life is apparently different now.

D．they are always misunderstanding each other.

4．Who the text implies is mainly responsible for the bad parent-child relationship?
