He has earned 62 billion dollars. But Warren Buffett still loves cola and hamburgers, wears old clothes and lives in the same house he bought for $31,000 fifty years ago.Last week Forbes Magazine（《福布斯杂志》）named the 77-year-old the world’s richest man. He has made a lot of money on the stock market.Buffett showed a talent for business from an early age. He says he collected used golf balls to sell at 8. He says he sold soda pop（汽水）door-to-door, rented out pinball machines（弹球机）to barber shop（理发店）and sold newspapers. In high school he bought land with his savings and worked as a rent collector（收租人）.At 11, Buffett bought his first shares（股份）. Although they earned him just $5, it opened the door to his future successes on the stock market.However, Bill Gates, a former wealthiest man and a long-time friend of Buffet’s said Buffett is a careful man. “Last time we played golf in America and he didn’t buy a golf glove. He used Band-Aids (邦迪创可贴) instead. It didn’t work well but he saved a few bucks. Next time I may have to try with Band-Aids myself to get an edge on (胜过) him. ”But both billionaires have decided to give their money to the poor.

Buffett’s early lifeI am Greek, and my family goes to Greece every summer. Uncle Spyro and Aunt Aspa lived about 45 minutes outside of Athens. Every summer when we travelled to Greece, we would spend a couple of days with them.I remember all the fun things we would do there. We would shake almonds (杏仁) off of the branches of Uncle Spyro's almond trees. Using his strong arms, he would break the shells off, and present us with the shiny white nut. With Aunt Aspa we would pick lemons off her lemon trees and carry them inside the small house with the help of Uncle Spyro. Drinking the fresh lemonade and eating the delicious almonds, we would sit on the porch and talk. Uncle Spyro and Aunt Aspa didn't speak English, and my Greek wasn't and still isn't perfect. But that peacefully quiet time was the time that I miss most.Uncle Spyro developed cancer from smoke for most of his life and he became very sick. We didn't go to Greece in 2009, but we planned on going again in 2010. But just in the late spring of 2010, we found out that Uncle Spyro was in the hospital shortly before we left for Greece. My mother, Alethea, and I wanted to see him. But he passed away before we could get there. We were deeply grieved to hear the news. Now, I wish that we had seen him for the last time. But my uncle didn't wait for us to go.We still visit Aunt Aspa and we still pick almonds and lemons. We still drink the fresh lemonade and eat the delicious almonds on the porch. But somehow the lemonade isn't as fresh, and the almonds aren't as delicious as before.I think I'm still here to comfort Aunt Aspa and that I'm still here to finish my life. I'm not afraid of death any more like some people. And I know that when I do die, I'll just be going up to Uncle Spyro, and we'll eat almonds and drink lemonade, just like before.（11年闵行二模真题，高于中考难度）（）63.
