3.1 Thank you. I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.2 My second story is about love and loss.3 I was lucky—I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

Another incident that drew us closer was our first miscommunication, which resulted from Andy teasing(调侃)me and my taking him seriously and so getting offended. When late sharing details of our relationship with another friend, she first pronounced us best friends Her explanation? We talked about everything, and we had fights but were still friends.

January also ended with another first. I had to concentrate on my studies and consequently, my emails became sporadic(零星的).I apologized, but Andy reassured me that he understood and, for the first time, used what became a catch phrase(妙语) in our relationship: “The good things in life are worth the wai... and you are worth the wait.”

The phrase took on even more meaning as we both awaited the day when we could meet face-to-face and be finally sure of what we had.Fears and hopes mixed in our hearts, as we recognized the changes being in each other's physical presence could forever bring to our friendship. What if we found ourselves unable to communicate, once conversation became visual? What if we didn’t like spending time with one another as much as we liked talking with one another? What if we lost the friendship that had sustained us for eight months and was one of the best relationships we had found in our lives?

As we waited, our friendship continued to flourish in spite of the geographical distance separating us. Our mammoth(海量的) messages were replaced with shorter emails sent throughout the day, affording us more insight into our routine world. Scans of photos from our lives were often attached to our email messages. We also began dedicating more evenings to each other.For example, we sat in front of our respective television sets to watch a favorite program or a rented movie and then later shared our opinions through email. Then, about a month before our vacation, Andy faced a deadline at work so his emails became sporadic. He apologized,but I reassured him that I understood and said: “The good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait.”

From the beginning of my schooling, my parents seemed to assume that I would attend college, and by the time I reached senior high school, I had become used to that idea as well. When I entered senior high school, I attended the college preparatory program there, looking ahead four year to college. Then gradually I became truly interested in many of the subjects. In addition, I felt that I wanted to continue to study those areas .As my senior high school ended, I began to realize why I had this hope. Finally, I began to recognize in my life a strong desire to obtain knowledge. I knew that I would not be to simply end my educational career with senior high school and enter the working world. I truly felt a need to continue learning in order to get a better understanding of the word around me. My final decision to attend college seemed a natural one, and my choice of engineering as a field of study came easily as well.Why does the writer come to college?

22.My grandparents can be good fun. They are retired, so they don't work anymore. My grandfather is 68 and my grandmother is 67, but they are not too old to be active. They exercise by playing golf and they go out for meals and to the theater. Sometimes they take me out, too. We have a good time. They also go on great holidays. Last year, they went to China and walked along the Great Wall!

Sometimes, my grandparents like to criticize me. They think that children today have an easy life. Life was very different when they were young and there are many things about my life that they do not understand. They tell me, over and over, how they had to start work at 16. They know that I will go on to university and won't be getting a job until I am 22! They also think that I have too many possessions, such as mobile phones, computers and PSPs. When they were young, they did not have anything like that. What they do not realize is that they cannot compare children at present time. They had the same kinds of things as the rest of people of their age, so do I. It would be very strange if I only had the possessions that they had when they were my age.

25.[单选题]The thinking habit that changed my lifeI remember one evening three years ago, when my life was very different. I was overweight. I was deeply in debt. I was a smoker. I felt hopeless and helpless. I couldn’t change anything.Then I looked up at the sky and thought what a miracle life is. And I resolved to list the good things in my life. I had a wonder wife. I had five amazing children. I could see and appreciate the beauty of the world around me. The list went on, but you get the idea. Even when things seemed terrible for me, actually I was OK.That night I resolved to be grateful for what I had, and for people in my life. I started the habit of gratitude. Now many people consider it unimportant. I’m here to tell you it’s very important. It changes lives.Now I appreciate my wife Eva more. I feel good about having her in my life. And we have deepened our relationship. I also appreciate my kids more. Instead of criticizing them. I tend to notice their loveliness, curiosity and humor. I’m kinder to others around me, at work and everywhere else, because instead of seeing the faults in everyone, I see the good, and am grateful for them. I need less, because instead of thinking about what I don’t have, I am grateful for what I do have. Each and every moment becomes easier.Without the habit of gratitude, we tend to complain and see the bad in people and things, we can’t change that at once, but you can do something. For example, you can start with a small action. Really feel the happiness that something or someone is in your life, or take a moment to make a list of the things in your life that you’re thankful for.6 Now I have a closer relationship with my wife.
