【1】his life-changing experiences 句意：史蒂文乔布斯以开创苹果电脑闻名。他相信他的生活的变故帮助他成功。根据第一段里的：Jobs told students about some of life-changing experiences. Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.乔布斯告诉学生有关他的人生变故的经历。他相信这些经历帮助他成功。可知“these"指的是“some of life-changing”。故填：his life-changing experiences

【2】were not so rich/were so poor句意：乔布斯的继父母是普通的工薪阶层。他们是如此的贫穷，以致于只能用节省下来的钱送他上大学。由第二段的后面的句子：Job’s adopted parents were simple working-class people. When Jobs was 17, his parents used their saving to send him to college.（乔布斯的养父母是贫穷的工薪阶层，当乔布斯17岁时，他的父母用他们节省下来的钱送他上大学）联系起来，可知，他的养父母是如此的贫穷，以致于只能用节省下来的钱送他上学。）故填：were not so rich/were so poor

【3】college was useful for him句意：上了六个月大学后，乔布斯认为大学对他没有用处并且决定离开大学。由第三段中的：After six months of college, Jobs decided it was not for him.（六个月大学后，乔布斯认为大学不适合他）可以推测出他认为大学对他没什么用处。故填：college was useful for him。

【4】the terrible shock句意：经历了被苹果解雇的震惊之后，乔布斯很快认识到他还爱着他喜欢的事业并且很快成立了两个高度成功的公司。根据第五段第一句：Jobs was shocked.乔布斯震惊了。由介词after和of可知这里填名词，根据句意可以分析出这里填：the terrible shock。

【5】live every day as if it was/were our last句意：根据乔布斯的故事，如果你想要取得成功，你应该作出正确的决定，做你喜欢做的事，永不放弃，把每一天当作我们最后一天来生活。根据短文最后一段：Jobs was happily married with a family, working for Apple again and living every day as if it were his last.可知婚后乔布斯继续为苹果工作，而他的人生态度是：把每一天都当作最后一天生活。故填：live every day as if it was/were our last
