　　Bill Gates is one of the most famous people in the world. His books have been translated into many languages.

They designed software like MS-DOS and BASIC for large companies like IBM. However, they were not satisfied with the software and came up with a new system, called Windows. Allen was one of the main programmers. The equally successful Microsoft Office soon followed.

　　Allen fell ill in 1983. He stopped working full-time for Microsoft. He took time off, read, traveled and stayed with his family. Allen and Gates are still close. He is still involved in Microsoft, and as one of the richest men in the world, doesn't regret leaving.

　　Pupils work harder in lessons if they are taught by a man, a study has claimed．Male teachers are more likely to improve pupils' self-esteem and are judged by pupils to be more fair, according to a study published by the Department for Education．

　　But there is a significant shortage of male teachers, especially in primary schools, with reports last month indicating that almost one in three primaries has an all-female teaching staff．The latest figures heightened fears that schools are becoming dominated(主宰)by women and children are being denied access to male role models in the classroom．

　　Researchers at the London School of Economics and Westminster University conducted an experiment in which each of 1,200 pupils in 29 schools was given ＆2．They could use the money to “buy” up to 10 questions at a cost of 20p each, which they then had to answer．If they were right they were given an extra 20p, but if they were wrong they lost 209．Boys and girls who had a male teacher chose on average almost half a question more than those taught by women, indicating that they had a more positive outlook on the rewards of effort, the study said．

　　Researchers wrote：“One of the most significant results featured in this experiment is the positive effect of male teachers on effort．The experiment suggests that higher ability pupils either believed that the teacher would reward them more favorably or had a preference for working hard to please the teacher．”

　　According to the Good Teacher Training Guide, 86 per cent of new teachers entering prinmary schools are female, along with 62 per cent of those entering secondary schools．

　　Professor Alan Smithers, of Buckingham University, said：“This is an interesting and somewhat surprising finding, but it does underline the importance of having a good mix of made and female teachers in classes．”
