Steve Paul Jobs was an American businessman and widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution(革命). He was co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Company. His death is a great loss to us. The following is some more information about him.
After Apple's founding, Steve Jobs became a symbol of his company and industry. At the time of his resignation, and again after his death, he was widely described as a pioneer and genius perhaps one of the foremost in the field of business, creation and product design, and a man who had changed the face of the modern world, completely changed at least six different industries. His death was considered a loss to the world by commentators(评论家) across the globe.
Memorial candles and iPads to Steve Jobs lie outside the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California. Apple has lost a creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve Jobs have lost a dear friend and an inspiring guide. Steve jobs leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
As is still clearly remembered, it was not long before Steve Jobs left his office as CEO of Apple. But he remained at the company as chairman of the company's board. Hours after the announcement, Apple shares dropped by five percent in after-hour trading. The relatively small drop, when considering the importance of Steve Jobs to Apple, was associated with the fact that his health had been in the news for several years, and he was on medical leave since January 2011.
Steve Jobs took a job as a technician at Atari company in California in 1974. He traveled to India in the summer of 1974. Seven months later, he returned to Atari and was assigned to create a circuit board for the game Breakout. With Wozniak, the founder of Atari, Steve Jobs began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club where he got to know Edwin H. Land, the inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corporation, and modeled his career after him.
Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $429 million. The deal was finally made in late 1996, bringing Steve Jobs back to the company he co-founded. In order to concentrate Apple's efforts, Steve Jobs stopped a number of projects. With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products. Under his guidance the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products. Since then, appealing designs and powerful branding have worked well for Apple.

Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal – or at least many parts of it have. . Ideas about social class – whether a person is “working - class” or “middle - class” – are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.
In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.
The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. . Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.
In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle – class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
.They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations.
. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.
A.Nowadays, a great deal has changed |
B.Both of these provided him and his family with security |
C.As a result, differences in life – styles and attitudes came into existence |
D.However, we still have a wide gap between the well – paid and the low - paid |
E.In recent years, the working – class people have begun to design long – term plans
F.In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned
G.The changes in both life – styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people
Criticism can be divided into two types. _____ This is the type of criticism that can be the most hurtful. Parents might express their disapproval of your choice in career, friends or lifestyle. People may criticize how you dress or the way you act. It can be terribly unpleasant to tolerate it.
The second type of criticism involves pointing out your weaknesses and mistakes. No one is perfect, yet many imperfect people seem to find it extremely easy to “let us know” when we mess up. _____And the fact that they are telling us what we already know makes it much more annoying.
When people express their disapproval of some area of your life you first need to consider how you feel about it. You need to be secure in who you are and the decisions that you make.____
Remember that there is a difference between being firm in your choices and being stubborn. Don’t be stubborn. Be mature enough to truly hear what they are saying, even if you don’t agree with it at first. _____If not, just let it go and trust that they meant well, but what they were saying is not for you. Don’t be mad at them.
_____ Improving yourself works best if you can see yourself from different angles. Other people have different views on what you are doing and can help you. If you are one of those people who just want to learn the hard way, try listening to some advice for a change. It might do you some good.
A.In many cases, we already know a lot of what people are saying to us. |
B.You may come to realize that they have a good view of things and are right. |
C.There is no need for you to care about others’ criticism. |
D.The first type is when someone expresses their disapproval. |
E.Bear in mind that you should never criticize others.
F.If your decisions are solid and you firmly believe in them, you won’t allow anyone to change your mind.
G.If someone is pointing out your mistakes, use it to your advantage.
