Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs Passed Away

Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died on October 5 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting with cancer since 2004. In August 2011, he quit as CEO.

When asked what Steve Jobs is best remembered for, many of us would name a particular product: the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought much more to the world than these popular devices. Some of the lessons he taught us were equally inspiring.

Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor（继任者）he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.

Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head — the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.”Steve was among the greatest American innovators— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.” Said the US President Barack Obama.

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是苹果公司的开创人之一—斯蒂芬乔布斯。乔布斯虽然已经去世了，但是人们对他还是非常的怀念，因为他教会了我们如何去面对失败，而他带领苹果公司生产的产品也受到很多人的喜欢。就连美国总统奥巴马也给予他很高的评价。

【1】根据短文的开头Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died on October 5 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting with cancer since 2004.可知，乔布斯是苹果公司的前CEO，他于10月5日去世，他从2004年以来一直和癌症做斗争。由此我们可以知道，乔布斯死于癌症，故这里填cancer。

【2】根据短文第二段的内容可知，这一段中作者讲述的是虽然乔布斯去世了，但是人们非常怀念他，原因有很多。有的人是喜欢苹果公司的产品，而有的人是因为受到了乔布斯的激励。因此这里应该填Reasons，原因。

【3】根据短文第二段的内容可知，人们怀念乔布斯的原因有很多，有的人是喜欢苹果公司的产品，这里的iPod, iPhone和iPad都是苹果公司的产品的例子，故根据句意我们可以填like，像或者including,包括，后面都跟名词形式。

【4】根据短文的第三段和第四段的前半部分可知，这里作者讲述的是从乔布斯身上我们学到的东西，他教会了我们如何去面对失败，还教会了我们要听从自己内心的声音。根据第四段的开头Another valuable lesson he taught us…可知，这里应填Lessons。

【5】根据短文第三段中He was fired by the successor（继任者）he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion可知，虽然乔布斯被自己亲自选择的继任者给开除了，但是他没有放弃，而且继续跟随他的热情。由此可知这里应填follow的过去式形式。

【6】根据短文第四段的前半部分可知，乔布斯教给我们的另一件事是listen to that voice in the back of your head, 听从自己内心的声音。根据原文的意思，这里我们可以填follow，跟随，跟从，应该用过去式形式。

【7】根据短文第四段中But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.可知，乔布斯认为听从我们内心的声音，不管它告诉你去做什么，这样做是非常明智的。由此可知这里应该填do。

【8】短文第四段的最后是美国总统奥巴马对乔布斯的评价，他认为乔布斯是一个伟大的创新者，他足够勇敢，也足够自负，也有这个能力去改变这个世界。president 名词，总统。

【9】根据短文的最后奥巴马所说的话”Steve was among the greatest American innovators— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.” Said the US President Barack Obama.可知，奥巴马认为乔布斯很勇敢有不同的想法。根据原句中的differently可知，这里我们应用形容词different，修饰后面的名词way。

【10】根据短文的最后奥巴马对乔布斯的评价”Steve was among the greatest American innovators— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.” Said the US President Barack Obama.可知，奥巴马认为乔布斯有这个天赋去改变这个世界。talent 和gift 都是天赋的意思。
