Steven P. Jobs, the visionary(有远见的)co-founder of Apple who helped usher in the era of personal computers and then led a cultural transformation in the way music, movies and mobile communications were experienced in the digital age, died Wednesday. He was 56. The death was announced by Apple, the company Mr. Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak started in 1976 in a suburban California garage. A friend of the family said the cause was complications of pancreatic(胰腺的)cancer.
Mr. Jobs had waged a long and public struggle with the disease, remaining the face of the company even as he underwent treatment, introducing new products for a global market in his trademark blue jeans even as he grew thin and frail.
He underwent surgery in 2004, received a liver transplant in 2009 and took three medical leaves of absence as Apple’s chief executive before stepping down in August and turning over the seat to Timothy D. Cook, the chief operating officer. When he left, he was still engaged in the company’s affairs, negotiating with another Silicon Valley executive only several weeks earlier.
"I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO I would be the first to let you know," Mr. Jobs said in a letter released by the company. "Unfortunalely, that day has come." By then, having mastered digital technology and capitalized on his intuitive marketing sense, Mr. Jobs had largely come to define the personal computer industry and an array of digital consumer and entertainment businesses centered on the Internet. He had also become a very rich man. worth an estimated $ 8.3 billion.
Tributes(悼念)to Mr. Jobs flowed quickly on Wednesday evening, in formal statements and in the flow of social networks, with President Obama, technology industry leaders and legions of Apple fans weighing in.
What did Mr. Jobs do just several weeks before his death?
选项
A、He underwent surgery and took medical leaves of absence.
B、He wrote a letter to the company.
C、He introduced a new product in his company.
D、He negotiated with another businessman.
