When Steven was a young boy, he moved quite often with his family and so he never had many friends. He spent a lot of time on his own and liked to play with electronic(電子的)things. Steven had a neighbour, Steve Wozniak. Steve was a little bit younger than Steven but also liked to play with electronic things. Steven made a microphone(麥克風(fēng))and Steve asked him many questions about it until he understood how it worked. Steven liked the fact that such a young boy was also interest ed in electronic things and so he taught him everything he knew.
When they were a little older and knew more about electronic things, they made a “blue box”. People could make free phone calls by breaking into the phone company’s system with this box. They sold this to many people even though it was illegal(非法的), but this is not why they are famous today.
Steven and Steve were the inventors of the first PC—personal computer. They called their first computer the Apple I. They invented it only for fun and to make themselves known among their friends. They did not think it would become so popular. They just liked playing computer games on it. Their computer made it cheaper and easier for people to own and use a computer. Their PCs were so popular that they made a new PC called the Apple II. Soon many schools, families and factories were using their computers.
Without the two clever men, the personal computers might never have appeared.

     Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 at the age of 56. He was the founder of Apple Company.
He fought against his cancer from 2004. In August 2011, he stepped down.
     When Steve Jobs was at college, he showed no interest in most subjects. To everyone's surprise, he
decided to drop out of college so that he could work on what he really liked-art and design. It was
really a right decision. Jobs once said our lives are made up of thousands of moments. Any moment
can turn out to be life-changing later. The question is whether we are brave enough to follow our hearts
at that moment and become the person we want to be.
    When asked what Steve Jobs is most famous for, many of us will name some products:the iPod, the
iPhone or the iPod. In fact Jobs brought much more to the world than these popular things. Some of his
lessons he taught us were also encouraging.
    Jobs once described his wish as "trying to make products that were mixed with art and technology" .
He said this was always an important part of what made Apple's products stand out.
    Jobs also taught people how to face failure. He was let go by the successor (繼任者) he himself
chose but he didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his dream.
    Jobs will be remembered by the people all over the world and his effect (影響) will be felt for many
generations (代) to come.
