A Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is
the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or
work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the
stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and
have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his
disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good
rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine
every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to
follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier
man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my
age.”

It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps , but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought , until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said , never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised . Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact , he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.

As a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates once said that he would be a millionaire by
the time he was 20. Only 15 years later he was a billionaire. And by 1992, as
head of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in American with assets (资产) of about US$ 6.3 billion.
Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956. He first started to play with the computer at the age of 13 at his school. At that time, computers were very large machines. Operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long Gates
was an expert at working the school’s computer. After his graduation from
secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA---Princeton. Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in maths. But he spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors
were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.
BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yet
completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.
His next project was the software program that made him famous and very
rich. It was called DOS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was bought
by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.
As chief executive officer of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man. To most people, Gates, in spite of his wealth, is humble and ordinary. He spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants.
51. When he was a teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be______.
A. an engineer B. a scientist
C. a businessman D. a professor
52. Bill Gates became a billionaire______.
A. at the age of 31 B. in 1985 C. in the 1970’s D. by 1992
53. When Gates was in Harvard University, he________.
A. became head of Microsoft company
B. spent most of his time in computer laboratories
C. developed the first computer program
D. succeeded in making computers carry out instructions
54. Before the invention of BASIC, software programs____.
A. were very cheap
B. were not considered commercially (商业地)
C. were very expensive D. were complex but dull
55. Bill Gates was regarded as______.
A. a strong-minded man B. a crazy man
C. a man spending freely D. a common, normal person
