THIRTY-fiveyearsago,itwasanhonorforan18-year-oldtogotoHarvardUniversity.Butoneyoungma... THIRTY-five years ago, it was an honor for an 18-year-old to go to Harvard University. But one young man soon found that his heart wasn’t in studying law. He would spend many nights in front of the school’s computer and the next day sleep in class. Two years later, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. He went on to start the Microsoft company with childhood friend Paul Allen.Now Microsoft is the world’s biggest software (软件) company. About 90 percent of computers run on Microsoft Windows. Gates topped the list of the richest men on the planet (星球) for 13 years until 2007. But last week the billionaire (亿万富翁) made the decision to give all his money to charity, instead of to his children.All of his $58 billion fortune will go to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (基金会). Gates and his wife set up the foundation to help with health and education projects around the world. After stepping down (辞职) from Microsoft in July, Gates will devote himself to running the charity programs."I''ve been given the gift of great wealth. But I believe with great wealth comes great responsibility (责任), the responsibility to give back to society," said Gates.The Gates couple''s foundation is the world''s biggest charity foundation. Their spending on fighting AIDS in Africa is more than most developed countries have spent."Bill Gates has set an example for people like you and me," said Leonard Pitts, a US writer. "He has me thinking about things I can do, the responsibility I have, to change my corner of the world." 展开

35年前,对于18岁就能进入哈佛大学的人来说是一种荣誉。但这位年轻人(指比尔盖茨)很快发现他的心思不在学习法律上面。他常常整夜坐在学校的电脑前而第二天白天上课打盹儿。两年之后,比尔盖茨从哈佛休学。他与童年好友保罗艾伦一起创办了微软公司。现在微软公司已经成了世界上最大的软件公司。(世界上)有大约90%的电脑运行的是微软的Windows系统。直到2007年,盖茨连续13年蝉联世界首富。但上周这位亿万富翁决定把他的钱捐给慈善机构,而不是留给自己的孩子。总数高达580亿的财产将被投入盖茨基金会(The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation )。盖茨和他的妻子建立这个基金会来对全球的医疗和教育工程提供帮助。在7月份盖茨从微软辞职之后,他将会全身心地投入慈善事业中去。“我已经获得了很巨大的财富,随着财富而来的还有回馈社会的重大责任。”盖茨如是说。盖茨夫妇的基金会是世界上最大的基金会。他们在对抗非洲艾滋病上的贡献甚至高过了很多发达国家。“比尔盖茨已经在人们中成为一个榜样,”美国作家Leonard Pitts说道,“他让我开始思考我怎么做些什么和应负哪些责任,来为改善我的世界做点贡献。”
