Question

【题目】根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

Steven Jobs, the designer(设计者)of Apple Computer, was not quite successful in his early years. At that time, he was not among the best students at school, and he often got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers. When he went into college, he didn't change a lot, and he dropped out (退学) halfway. But he was clever enough to come up with new ideas.

After he left college, Steven Jobs worked as a video game designer at Atari. He worked there for only several months and then he went to India. He hoped that the trip would give him some new ideas and a change for a better life.

Steven Jobs lived on a farm in California for a year after he returned from India. And then, in 1975, he began to make a new type of computer. Along with his friend, Steven Gary Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his garage(车库). He chose the name “Apple” just because it helped him to remember a happy summer he once spent in an apple tree garden.

His Apple Computer was such a great success that Steven Jobs soon became famous all over the world.
