1. Steve Jobs’ _________ story taught us a lesson that our time is limited, and don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

A．The perfection of personal computers．

B．His bold decision of dropping out．

C．The advent of iPhon

E．

D．The production of “ Toy Story ” ．

when people see a well-dressed person, they assume that person is a professional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way. But does it really make a difference？

I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.

Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential？ Absolutely! Is it all that it seems？ Less often than you think. How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity, person or idea？

Comment 1

In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.

Comment 2

You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.

Comment 3

It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.

Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with？

A.Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.

B.We should not judge a person by his clothing.

C.It is clothes that make the man.

D.The well-dressed are most likely to succeed.

According to the writer of the passage, perception ______.A.might prove wrong

B.is powerful and reliable

C.is half reality

D.might be worthless to us

Speaking of Steve Jobs, the writer of Comment 2 ________.A.points out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive person

B.suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same club

C.holds the same view as the writer of the passage

D.thinks Steve Jobs’ casualness was carefully thought out

When he went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosopher _______A.thought that people liked his clothes

The writer of Comment 1 seems to ______.A.dislike the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasions

C.believe that the well-dressed are the most successful

s literally an iconic company. Some of the power of its brand comes from the extraordinary story of a computer company rescued from near-collapse by its co-founder, Steve Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1997 after years of exile, reinvented it as a consumer-electronics firm and is now taking it into the billion-unit-a-year mobile-phone industry. But mostly Apple's zest comes from its reputation for inventiveness. From its first computer in 1977 to the iPhone now, which goes on sale in America this month, Apple has prospered by keeping just ahead of the times.

The company, however, is not without its critics. The firm has come under attack for refusing to make its operating-system and music-protection software available to others (a price worth paying, Apple responds, for greater reliability and consistency). And there are grumbles about manufacturing defects and customer service.

Apple is hardly alone in the high-tech industry when it comes to duff gadgets and unhelpful call centers, but in other respects it is highly unusual. In particular, it inspires an almost religious fervor among its customers. That is no doubt helped by the fact that its corporate biography is so closely bound up with the mercurial Mr. Jobs, a rare showman in his industry.
