  Steven Paul Jobs( February 24, 1955-October 5, 2011 )was an American businessman and inventor widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution.He was co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc.Here are some most memorable quotes from Steven Paul Jobs, you can learn something from these quotes.

  1.________

  " You can' t connect the dots looking forward:you can only connect them looking backwards.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in something-your gut(内心), destiny, life, fortune, whatever.This method has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

  2.________

  "I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not focus on it for too long.Just figure out what' s next."

  3.________

  It takes these very simple-minded instructions? Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it' s greater than this other number'? but computer executes(执行)them at a rate of, let' s say, 1,000,000 per second.At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic."

  4.________

  "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do, If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.Don't settle.As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.So keep looking until you find it.Don't settle."

  5.________

  “No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life.It is life' s change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be dramatic, but it is quite true."

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  One man tells of driving on a long and lonely road, the last 65 miles of it unpaved, in order to watch Indian dances in the state of Arizona.After the dances, he returned to his car only to find that it had a flat tire.He put on the spare and drove to the only service station in that town.

  “Do you fix flats?” he inquired of the attendant.

  “Yes, ” came the answer.

  “How much do you charge?” he asked.

  With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “What difference does it make?”

  This is what has been called a “Hobson's choice” .A Hobson's choice is a situation that forces a person to accept whatever is offered or go without.

  According to Barbara Berliner, the phrase was inspired by sixteenth-century entrepreneur(企业家)Thomas Hobson.There was no choice by the customer-it was strictly Hobson's choice.

  But often we really have a choice, and the choice does make a difference.We may not always believe it.We may feel as if we have no choice, but almost always there is a choice in the matter.And when we realize that we do most things by choice, then we are taking control of our own lives.

  Someone challenged me to try an experiment that completely changed my perspective(看法,观点).“For the next seven days, ” he said, “remove the words ‘I have to’ from your vocabulary and say ‘I choose to’.Don't say, ‘I have to work late tonight’.Instead, say, ‘I choose to work late’.When you choose to do it, you take control of your life.Instead of saying ‘I have to stay home’, try ‘I choose to stay home’.The way you spend your time is your choice.You are responsible.You have control.”

  In just seven days I was no longer saying “I have to”and I felt better about my decisions.I learned that there is very little in my life I actually have to do.You and I decide to do certain things because we believe that it will be for the best.When we remove “I have to” from our vocabularies, we take control.

  Try it for a week and you see what happens.I think you'll see it's a change for the better.
