Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs Passed Away

Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died on October 5 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting with cancer since 2004. In August 2011, he quit as CEO.

When asked what Steve Jobs is best remembered for, many of us would name a particular product: the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought much more to the world than these popular devices. Some of the lessons he taught us were equally inspiring.

Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor（繼任者）he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.

Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head — the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.”Steve was among the greatest American innovators— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.” Said the US President Barack Obama.

【1】根據(jù)短文的開頭Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died on October 5 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting with cancer since 2004.可知，喬布斯是蘋果公司的前CEO，他于10月5日去世，他從2004年以來一直和癌癥做斗爭。由此我們可以知道，喬布斯死于癌癥，故這里填cancer。

【2】根據(jù)短文第二段的內(nèi)容可知，這一段中作者講述的是雖然喬布斯去世了，但是人們非常懷念他，原因有很多。有的人是喜歡蘋果公司的產(chǎn)品，而有的人是因為受到了喬布斯的激勵。因此這里應(yīng)該填Reasons，原因。

【3】根據(jù)短文第二段的內(nèi)容可知，人們懷念喬布斯的原因有很多，有的人是喜歡蘋果公司的產(chǎn)品，這里的iPod, iPhone和iPad都是蘋果公司的產(chǎn)品的例子，故根據(jù)句意我們可以填like，像或者including,包括，后面都跟名詞形式。

【4】根據(jù)短文的第三段和第四段的前半部分可知，這里作者講述的是從喬布斯身上我們學(xué)到的東西，他教會了我們?nèi)绾稳ッ鎸κ�敗，還教會了我們要聽從自己內(nèi)心的聲音。根據(jù)第四段的開頭Another valuable lesson he taught us…可知，這里應(yīng)填Lessons。

【5】根據(jù)短文第三段中He was fired by the successor（繼任者）he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion可知，雖然喬布斯被自己親自選擇的繼任者給開除了，但是他沒有放棄，而且繼續(xù)跟隨他的熱情。由此可知這里應(yīng)填follow的過去式形式。

【6】根據(jù)短文第四段的前半部分可知，喬布斯教給我們的另一件事是listen to that voice in the back of your head, 聽從自己內(nèi)心的聲音。根據(jù)原文的意思，這里我們可以填follow，跟隨，跟從，應(yīng)該用過去式形式。

【7】根據(jù)短文第四段中But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.可知，喬布斯認(rèn)為聽從我們內(nèi)心的聲音，不管它告訴你去做什么，這樣做是非常明智的。由此可知這里應(yīng)該填do。

【8】短文第四段的最后是美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬對喬布斯的評價，他認(rèn)為喬布斯是一個偉大的創(chuàng)新者，他足夠勇敢，也足夠自負(fù)，也有這個能力去改變這個世界。president 名詞，總統(tǒng)。
