Unit 1Text 2 bill gates in his boyhood童年时期——即使成了了大人——比尔也不修边幅。
据说为了改此习惯，玛丽为他制定了一周着装计划。
周一上学他穿蓝色装，周二绿色，周三棕色，周四黑色，等等。
周末用餐时间也布置得细致入微。
每件事都要井井有条。
比尔·盖茨讨厌浪费时间，无论是在工作中或闲暇时。
在比尔家中的餐桌上讨论总是既生动又富有教育意义。
“那是个内容丰富的学习环境，”比尔回忆道。
比尔的同代人，即使是在那个年龄，都能看出他的与众不同。
每年，他和朋友们都要去夏令营。
比尔特别喜爱游泳运动等。
他的一位在夏令营的朋友回忆道，“他绝不会是个不足挂齿或无足轻重之人。
我们都晓得比尔比我们聪颖。
甚至在更早的时候，当他九、十岁时，言谈就如同成人一般他说的话有时我们感到高深莫测。
在数学和自然方面比尔比同班同学也更胜一筹。
他需要上一所对他充满挑战的学校。
随即父母决定送他去湖畔中学—一所专门招收超常男生的学校。
这是西雅图一所限制最严的学校，它以严格的课程要求而著称，是个“连哑童都聪明的”地方。
湖畔中学允许学生们按自己兴趣自由发挥，去通达他们希望的极至。
令校方骄傲的是他们所创造的环境及设施使学生们能充分发挥各自的潜能。
这是像比尔·盖茨这样学生的理想环境。
1968年，学校做出的一项决定改变了13岁的比尔·盖茨的生活——同时也改变了许多其他的人。
学校主要家长提供的资金通过一种电传打字机进入电脑——即程序数据处理机。
在电传打字机上键入几条指令，几秒钟后程序数据处理机即会反馈回信息。
比尔·盖茨当即就着了迷——他那时最要好的朋友坎特——他那时最要好的朋友坎特·埃文斯和另一名长他两岁的学生保罗·艾伦也是如此。
他们不管有没有空，都要赶到电脑室去用用那台机器。
这些学生非常专注，以至于在电脑方面的知识都超过了老师，同时因为他们的执著也带来了不少麻烦。
他们忽略了其他的课程——每项作业都迟迟才交，有时还旷课。

2. Political problems Ireland has been divided by a long and bloody conflict as a result of its colonial history. One of the key issues---“the Home Rule Bill” --- Irish political control of Irish affairs. ●Ordinary life continues, and troubles are an addition. ●Crime is very low. ●Problems are mainly concentrated in particular areas.
A third of the population were Catholic Irish, who found it harder to get jobs, or to benefit from social programs such as public housing.
• The armed conflict “troubles” developed.
● Bloody Sunday (血腥星期日，1972/1/30)
In 1972, 468 people were killed in Northern Ireland, of whom 13 were Catholics who had been taking part in a peaceful civil rights march. It is an important symbol of British oppression.

Get Started
Ancient Rome, once the largest empire in the world, was originated from some villages located on the Apennine Peninsula along the Mediterranean Sea in the 10th century BC.
