Bill Gates : Unleashing Your Creativity
I've always been an optimist and I suppose that is and intelligence can make the world a better place.
For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, chine and it could barely do anything compared to the
life. rooted in my belief that the power of creativity new things and solving problems. So when I sat I was hooked. It was a clunky old teletype ma- computers we have today. But it changed my
When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of "a computer on every desk and in every home, " which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believed that personal computers would change the world. And they have.
And after 30 years, I'm still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.
I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inven-tiveness to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own.
Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. They're helping us build communities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.
Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it "tap-dancing to work". My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me "tap_dance to work" is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos, and they say, "I didn't know you could do that with a PC! "
But for all the cool things that a person can do with a PC, there are lots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.
I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as manypeople as possible.
As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else, and that it doesn't take much to make an immense difference in these children's lives.
I'm still very much an optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world's toughest problems is possible-and it's happening every day. We're seeing new drugs for deadly diseases. new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.
l'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough prob- lems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.

Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely (遥远地)
Speeding off(超速行驶)in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in a nas-ty surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer（使车辆不能调动的装置），and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine_________________(51)．he will not be able to start it again.
For now,such devices _________(52) only available for fleets of trucks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization (使车辆不能调动 ) technology could soon start to trickle(慢慢地移动)down to ordinary cars,and _(53) be available to ordinary cars in the UK _________(54) two months.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car incorporates __________(55) miniature cell- phone(移动电话,手机 ), a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. ____________(56) the car is stolen,a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine _____ (57) restarted.
There are even plans for immobilizers _______________ (58) shut down vehicles on the move, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.
In the UK,an array of technical fixes is already making _________(59) harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicles crime has changed," says Martyn Randall of Thatcham,a security research organi- zation based in Berkshire that is funded in part __________ _(60) the motor insurance industry.
He says it would only take him a few minutes to _________ _(61) a novice(新手,初学者) how to steal a car using a bare minim um of tools. But only if the car is more than lo years old.

In the UK, technologies like this ____________(63) achieve a 31 percent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owner's keys in a burglary(盗窃). In 2000,12 percent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner's keys double the previous year's figure.
