The designer of the Apple Computer, Steve Jobs, was not quite successful in his early years. He was not among the best students at school, and from time to time he got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers. But he was full of new ideas, which few people saw the value of. Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out halfway.

    Steve Jobs worked first as a video game designer at Atari. He worked there for only a few months and then he set out to tour India He hoped that the trip would give him more ideas and give him a change in life for the better.

    After he returned from India, he began to live on a farm in California. And then, in 1975, Steve Jobs set about making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Stephen Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his bedroom and built it in his garage(车库). He chose the name 'Apple' because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard(果园) in Oregon. His Apple Computer was so successful that Steve Jobs soon became worldwide famous. But unluckily, he died of illness in 2012.

    "Good!" Mr. Black said in a hurry. "Which way is to the south, then?"

    I'm Mike. Jim is my best friend. We are both 12 years old in 2017. We are at the same age. We study in the same school but in different classes.

    Jim is a kind person and he can often make friends easily. When I feel worried or unhappy, I can always go to him. He always gives me some advice and he always helps me with my problems. A famous saying goes like this, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."

    During the Reading Week, we always ask our friends to read interesting books. Every year, we have two long holidays. When we're on holidays, we usually go to different places.
