Steve Jobs was the co-founder and CEO of Apple and former Pixar.
Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California to Joanne Simpson and a Syrian father. Paul and Clara Jobs of Mountain View, California then adopted him. In 1972, Jobs graduated from Homestead High School in Cupertino, California and enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon. One semester later, he dropped out, later taking up the study of philosophy and foreign cultures.
Steve Jobs had a deep-seated interest in technology, so he took up a job at Atari Inc, then a leading manufacturer of video games. He struck up a friendship with fellow designer Steve Wozniak and attended Homebrew Computer Club meetings with him.
After saving up some money, Jobs took off for India in the search of enlightenment. Once he returned, he convinced Wozniak to quit his job at Hewlett Packard to join him in his venture that concerned personal computers. They sold items like scientific calculators to raise seed capital.
In 1976, Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple Computer in the Jobs family garage. The first personal computer was sold for $666.66. By 1980, Apple had already released three improved versions of the personal computer. It had a wildly successful IPO (Initial Public Offering), which made both founders millionaires many times over.
A
tiff
with the Apple’s Board of Directors and John Scully led to Jobs’ resignation. Steve Jobs decided that he wanted to change the hardware industry. The company was called NeXT Step, which produced the NeXT Computer. The machine was a commercial washout but helped with future work in object-oriented programming, Post Script, and magneto-optical devices. Jobs returned to his original company after Apple acquired NeXT in 1996.
Steve Jobs also started Pixar, which has produced multiple blockbuster films, including Toy Story (1995); A Bug’s Life (1998); Toy Story 2 (1999); Monsters, InC. (2001); Finding Nemo (2003); and The Incredibles (2004).
In 2004, Jobs was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his pancreas, which was successfully treated.
Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple on August 24, 2011 and subsequently assumed the role of Chairman of the Board.
On October 5, 2011, Jobs passed away.
How did Apple Computer manage to increase its wealth swiftly in the early 1980s?
选项
A、By issuing stocks in public.
B、By marketing some personal computers.
C、By recruiting wealthy people as partners.
D、By selling such items as scientific calculators.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干中的时间“in the early 1980s”可定位到第五段。根据该段中的“By 1980,Apple…had a wildly successful IPO(Initial Public Offering),which made both founders millionaires many times over”可知,苹果电脑公司的首次公开募股极其成功,使其创始人多次成为百万富翁。由此可知,苹果电脑公司在20世纪80年代早期是通过公开发行股票从而迅速实现财富增长,A项表述正确。第五段并没有提到“The first personal computer was sold for $666.66…”带来财富的迅速增长,故排除B。C项原文未提及,故排除。根据第四段“After saving up some money…They sold items like scientific calculators to raise seed capital”可知,D项与题意不符,故排除。故本题选A。
