A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks "astronaut" but quickly adds "scientist" to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads—everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels. He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a "no reading policy" at the dinner table.
That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet—not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet. Nowadays, his reading material has changed from science fiction and reference books; recently, he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year. Gates chooses nonfiction title because they explain how the world works. "Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge," Gates says.
选项
答案
一个五年级学生拿到一份家庭作业,要求从一份职业列表中选择将来的职业道路。他勾选了“宇航员”,但很快在表上添加了“科学家”,并将它也选上。这个男孩子相信,只要他读得够多,那么他想探索多少职业道路都可以。于是,他就这样读书——从百科全书到科幻小说,什么都看。他如饥似渴地读书,以至于他的父母不得不立下一条吃饭时“不许看书的规矩”。 那个男孩就是比尔.盖茨(Bill Gates),而且,他至今依然没有停止阅读——即便他已经成为世界上成功的人士之一。如今,他阅读的材料已经不再是科幻小说和参考书:最近,他透露说自己一年至少看50本非虚构作品。盖茨之所以选择非虚构作品,是因为它们解释世界是如何运行的。盖茨说:“每本书都开辟出新的知识途径。”
