A
My father quit driving in 1927, when he was 25 years old．So my brother and I grew up in a household without a car．In 1951,when my brother turned 16, my parents bought a used 1950 Chevrolet from a friend．Since my parents didn't drive, it more or less became my brother's car．
Having a car but not being able to drive didn't bother my father, but it didn't make sense to my mother．So in 1952．when she was 43 years old, she learned to drive．For the next 45 years or so, until she was 90, my mother was the driver in the family．
After my father retired when he was 70, he almost always accompanied my mother whenever she drove anywhere, even if he had no reason to go along．One day my father said to me．"Do you want to know the secret of a long life?"
"Iguess so" I said, knowing it probably would be something bizarre （稀奇古怪的）.
"No left turns．" he said．
"What?" I asked．
"No left turns," he repeated．"Think about it．Three rights are the same as a left． and that's a lot safer．Several years ago, your mother and I read an article that said most accidents that old people are in happen when they turn left in front of oncoming traffic．As you get older, your eyesight worsens．So your mother and I decided never again to make a left turn．"
"You're kidding!" I said, and I turned to my mother for support．"No．" she said． "your father is right．We make three rights．It works．" But then she added: "Except when your father loses count．"
"Loses count?" I asked．
"Yes," my father admitted, "that sometimes happens．But it's not a problem．You just make seven rights, and you're okay again．"
I couldn't resist．"Do you ever go for 11 ?" I asked．
"No," he said "If we miss it at seven, we just come home and call it a bad day．
Besides, nothing in life is so important it can't be put off another day or another week．"
My mother was never in an accident all through her life．

The bus network in London is one of the largest and most comprehensive urban transport systems in the world．Every weekday over 6,800 scheduled buses carry around six million passengers on over 700 different routes．By buses you can go to any place in London．Note that traffic congestion is common, especially during the peak hours at 7:30-9:30 a．m．, 12:00-2:00 p．m．and 4:30-6:30 p．m．on weekdays, or in London shopping areas during weekends．If a bus is full you will not be allowed to get on, but will have to wait for the next one．Always allow plenty of time for your journey, if you need to keep an appointment．
The Docklands Light Railway （DLR） is a light-rail public transport metro for the redeveloped Docklands area of eastern London, England．With one of the world's most advanced automatic train control systems, the DLR has expanded faster than any other UK railway．It carries almost 70 million passengers a year with consistently high levels of reliability and passenger satisfaction．The DLR is separate from the London Underground, having separate tracks and rolling stock．The two systems are, however, integrated wherever they meet．and share a single ticketing system．The DLR appears on the London Underground's Tube map．

This is un excerpt （节选） from a speech by Sieve Jobs （former CEO of Apple） delivered to graduates of Stanford University on June 12, 2005．[来源: ]
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 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had 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. So at 30 I was out.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. n a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for y our lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

D．he wanted to try his luck in other businesses
50．After leaving Apple Jobs .
A．ran away from the valley B．was rejected by his previous partners
C．restarted his own career D．was hired by another company named Pixar
51．How did Jobs return to Apple?
