Bill is ten years old. One day his friend Tom says to him, “I am going to have a birthday party on Sunday evening. Bill, can you come to my party?” “I’ll be glad to,” answers Bill.
Before Bill goes to the party on Sunday afternoon, his mother says to him, “Now, Bill, don’t forget(忘记) to be polite(礼貌). Don’t ask for food until(直到) someone gives it to you.”“All right, Mum.” Bill answers, and he goes to Tom’s house on his new bike.
There are a lot of children at the party. They play for an hour. Then Tom’s mother gives them some food. But she forgets to give Bill any. He waits politely for ten minutes and then holds his plate up(举起他的盘子) in the air and says loudly(高声地), “Does anyone want a nice and clean plate?”

Dear Zhou Lan,

Thank you very much for your mail. I want to go to China. I know something about China from your e-mails. Your English is very good. But I don't know much Chinese. Now I'm learning it from my parents. They know much about China. They tell me many things about China.

I'm happy to know you like your school and your family. You want to know my family and my school. I have a big family. My grandparents and my parents are all very fine. My father has a brother. He is my uncle, John. He and my aunt have their children. They're Bill, Linda, Mary and Lily. My brother Dick is a boy of eighteen. I like my family very much. I'll go to China next year with my mother. She is going to teach English in a middle school in Beijing.

Yours,

Annie

Bill Gates is a very important person in the computer industry. He has been chief officer of Microsoft Company for several years. He is also the richest person in the United States. How did he do it?

He learned a lot from his parents. While Bill was going to school, his father went to college, got a degree, and became a successful lawyer.     1      . His mother was a very busy teacher, but she also loved going to parties. From this, he learned something else: if you want to work hard and play hard, you have to make a schedule.

     2      . While most of his friends were playing, Bill read all of the World Book Encyclopedia and finished it when he was 8 years old.     3      . He used to play a lot of sports — swimming， water-skiing, tennis. When Bill got older, he spent more and more time working and playing on a computer.

Before he was twenty, Bill developed the world’s first computer language for the personal computer.     4      . He thought that every home was going to have a computer, and every computer would need software — his software. He said, “ I’m going to make my first million dollars on software by the time I’m 25.” And he did!
