I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company “Microsoft” and make his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost all computers now use Microsoft software. The program “Word” is used from Britain to China!
Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success. Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.将文中画线句子翻译成汉语。

Only a few years ago, mobile phones were very large. They needed large batteries. They had to be powerful to send their signal to faraway places. This was because most cities had only one antenna tower(中继站) for mobile phones.
Today’s mobile phones are small and easy to use. Now most cities have a lot of antenna towers, not just one. This means that each mobile phone doesn’t have to send its signal far away, so they don’t need to be so powerful. Mobile phones today use small batteries. A large city, where lots of mobile phones are used, can have hundreds of towers.
We can use a mobile phone to do a lot of things, like calling your friends and family from almost anywhere, calling the police immediately if there is an accident, sending or receiving messages. Some modern mobile phones can be even used to play games, take photos, listen to music, watch TV, surf on the Internet and so on.
Sending short written messages is a popular way to use your mobile phone. Many people use short forms of words, so the messages are quick to write and read. Can you guess what these messages mean? RUOK? CUL8r! That’s EZ! That’s Gr8! Can I C U B4 3pm 2moro? Try to read them out. What do you hear?
By present we can’t _______with a mobile phone.
| A．call our friends | B．surf on the Internet |
| C．do housework | D．play games |
Why did the mobile phones need large powerful batteries several years ago?
___________ What does the writer think of today’s mobile phones?
| A．They are small but very powerful. |
| B．They are very easy for us to use. |
| C．They are very useful but expensive. |
| D．They are big enough to send a signal. |
What does “Can I C U B4 3pm 2moro?” probably mean?__________________________________________
