Question II. Read the passage and answer the questions below.

Bill Gates was born in 1955 in Washington State. He grew up in a rich family. His parents

sent him to a private school. There he met his business partner, Paul Allen. When they were in

eighth grade, they were writing programs for business computers and making more.

In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They thought

he would get over his obsession with computers and become a lawyer like his father. Two years

later, Gates dropped out of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen.

They worked eighteen hours a day in a dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the

program that would run one of the first personal computers. In 1975, they created a company

called Microsoft to sell their product.

Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later and

started his own company. Meanwhile, Microsoft became a giant company. By 1990, at the age

of thirty-four, Gates was the youngest billionaire in the history of the USA.
