After Steve Jobs died，his friend Larry Ellison said something like this, “There will never

be another Steve Jobs”. 1. Larry wrote this list of Steve's life lessons to remind us all.

1. Love what you do. Sure Steve became a billionaire when he brought Apple back. Apple was his calling even after he got fired from the company. We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: am I in the right job? Have I found the right company? Life doesn’t go on forever. 2.

2. Don't do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can't do it all by himself. He needs people. They must be talented. 3._ They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short，we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.

3. 4._

Apple is always good at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users. It’s empathy（共鸣）that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product，he says "Wow，it's just what I need". Remember, you're King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.

4. Don't mess around with your health.

5._ That's the most important lesson from Steve's life. It's great to learn from him but，the fact is he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic(自然疗法)solution that wasn't effective. When he finally decided to take his doctor's original advice，it was too late.

The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.

The outbreak is unprecedented（空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes: It’s a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea(腹泻), vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.

It is understandable for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn’t be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.

This is because transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person’s blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious(接触传染的). It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.

Media outlets in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.

James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep a sense of proportion. Other infectious diseases, including common influenza, are far, far deadlier.

1.What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa?

A. It has caused thousands of African deaths.

B. Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination.

C. It has already traveled to the US and the UK.

D. The fight against it is slowing down.

2.The Ebola virus is terrifying because ________.

A. it cannot be cured at the moment

B. it is easily infected

C. it spreads faster than any other infectious disease

D. it has caused more deaths than other infectious diseases

3.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means

A. keep a secretB. stay calm

C. keep silentD. stay away from it

4.What is the author's attitude towards people's panic?

A. Objective.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Understandable.

DOGS DRIVE CAR

Auckland, New Zealand

After two months of learning, Monty, and Porter were able to drive an automobile around a racetrack. “We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are,”animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear (换挡).

The dogs’ ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.

GOLDEN ZEBRA

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Zoe the zebra’s markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoe’s appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis (黑素缺失症). Her body doesn’t make enough melanin, the substance in an animal’s skin and hair cells that produces color. “Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world,” says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators (捕猎者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge.

COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS

Vienna, Austria

When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.

The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldn’t reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.

Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.

1.If Zoe the zebra is set free in the wild, she will ________.

A. meet no natural predators

B. not get along with other zebras
