浙江省湖州市长兴县2020届九年级上学期英语第一次月考试卷(含听力音频)
How do you turn your interests into a business (生意)? Mohammed Ali, 15, a teen gamer from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, UK, is a good example.
At the age of 12, he learned how to code (编程) by using YouTube and even made his own video game. Users have to pay 5.99 pounds (56 yuan) per month to play the game. He has already made 30,000 pounds. He also makes websites and is working on a finance app (理财应用软件), which will be open to the public in August.
Ali has saved lots of money for his future university costs and even bought two sofas for his family's living room.
"When I first started making money, I thought I'd just spend it all. Then I thought, why should I spend it all? I save most of it in the bank, because I want to do more in the future," he told the Daily Mail.
He became interested in computers when his parents bought him one at the age of 6. He often played video games on his computer. But after playing so many games, he decided to make his own.
Then, Ali learned how to code using YouTube videos and by reading books on the subject. In 2012,he made his own game called Project 2006 after working on it for seven months. It was a role-playing game and more than 3, 000 people are members. After his game became popular, he started a website-making business.
In the future, he wants to go to university and study computer science. "I'm looking forward to studying computer science, not business because I've got a lot of experience in business already," he told the Daily Star.

How The Little Kite Learned To Fly? By Katherine Pyle "I never can do it," the little kite said, As he looked at the others high over his head. "I know I should fall if I tried to fly." "Try, "said the big kite, "only try! Or I fear you never will learn at all." But the little kite said, "I'm afraid I'll fall." The big kite said, "Ah, well, good-bye; I am off." And he rose towards the sky. Then the little kite's paper stirred(微动). And he shook himself free for flight. First whirling(回旋) and scared, then bravery grown, Up, up he rose through the air alone, While far below he could see the ground, And the boys like small ants moving round. "Oh, how happy I am!" the little kite cried. "And all because I was brave and tried." |
