Mutter was also one of the world’s youngest professors.Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus, their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his younger brother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner-Sophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But Anner-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, became Anner-Sophi’s tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anner-Sophie’s won first prize.In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anner-Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught Anner-Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of theviolinist’s strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,”said her father. “No outsider can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned 18 did she begin her professional career.1. It was_______when Anner-Sophie asked for a violin.A. surprisingB. greatC. usualD. possible2. Anner-Sophie’s career dates back to_______.A. the late 1960’sB. her family educationC. the late 1970’sD. her fifth birthday3. Ann-Sophie’s concerts are_______.A. limited to one or two a yearB. accompanied at the piano by ChristophC. highly praised throughout the worldD. appreciated by professors London4. Which sentence shows Anner-sophie’s strong point as a violinist?A. She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.B. She has always had a mind of her own.C. She had two famous violin teachers.D. Violin seemed to her a much more interesting instrument.5. The virtue(美德) the Mutters have is that they believe_______.A. children should learn musicB. money is not everythingC. Anner-Sophie was too young to give concertsD. parents have a great effect upon their childrenDAs a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20.While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later he was a billionaire. And by 1992,as head of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in America with assets (资产) of approximately US$ 6.3 billion. Born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956, Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather. From the beginning, he was an extremely energetic and intelligent (聪明的) child. He had read the entire world book encyclopedia (百科全书)by the age of nine. His favorite subjects at school were science and maths and his favorite past time was “thinking”.Gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13,when one was installed (安装) at his school. At that time, computers were large, awkward (笨重) machines. Operators were required to learn complex (复杂的) 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, Ga tes was an expert at working the school’s computer. After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in USA -- Princeton, Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring maths. But he was still obsessed (占据，心思) with computers and spent as much time in the computerlaboratories as he did in the lecture halls.By 1975,Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software 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 (项目) was the software program that made him famous and very rich. It was called DOS, short for Operating System, and it was purchased (购买) 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 (首席执行官) of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man, but one who is not easily satisfied. He is quick to criticize ( 批评) his staff and hates to be questioned about decisions he has made. He was regarded as a loner an unfashionable boring computer nut until his marriage to Microsoft manager Melonda French on New year’s Day 1994.Yet to most people now, Gates is a person who is, in spite of his great wealth, humble (谦恭) and ordinary. He spends his money carefully, he eats in fast- food restaurants and flies economy (经济) class. And when praised for Microsoft’s great success, he has been heard to say, “All we do is put software in a box and if people see it in the stores and like it, they buy it.”6.
