Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford，England on 8th January,1942.He went to school in St Albans—a small city near London.Although he did well，he was never top of his class.After leaving school，Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics，then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学)．As he himself admitted he wasn’t very serious about studying.He was a very lazy student，and did very little work.However，he still achieved extremely good marks.
Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him at the age of 20.He started to bump into things，and often fell over for no reason.When he visited his family at Christmas time，his father was so worried that he was sent to hospital for test.Finally，the result came back.Hawking had motor neurone disease(运动神经元病)，an incurable illness which causes the muscles of the body to waste away.Doctors said he would die before he was 23.
At first，Hawking became extremely depressed(忧郁的)．After a while，though，he began to see his life in a different way.As he later wrote，“Before my illness had been diagnosed(诊断)，there had not seemed to be anything worth doing.But shortly after I came out of hospital，I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.〞Hawking married，found a job at Cambridge University，where he still works today，and had three children.He also went to do some of the most important scientific research ever carried out.
His story shows that nobody，however bad their situation is，should lose hope，“Life is not fair，〞he once said.“You just have to do the best you can in the situation you are in.〞

Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members，friends，competitors，and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a wonderful story of the interesting life and intense personality of a creative entrepreneur(企业家)whose passion for perfection revolutionized six industries：personal computers，animated movies，music，phones，tablet computing，and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to keep its innovative(创新的) edge，and when societies around the world are trying to build digital­age economies，Jobs stands as the best icon of inventiveness and applied imagination.He knew that the best way to create va lue in the twenty­first century was to connect creativity with technology.He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable achievements of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated(配合)with this book，he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published.He put nothing off limits.He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly.He said，“I’ve done
a lot of things I’m not proud of，but I don’t have any skeletons_in_my_closet that can’t be allowed out.〞And Jobs speaks frankly about the people he worked with and competed against.Likewise，his friends，enemies，and colleagues provide a true Jobs.
Jobs could drive those around him to anger and despair.But his personality and products were interrelated(相互关联的)，just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be.His tale is instructive，filled with lessons about innovation，character，leadership，and values.
6．What is the passage mainly about?
A．An introduction to Steve Jobs.
B．An introduction to the book about Steve Jobs.
C．How Steve Jobs changed the world.
