Question VIII. Read the following text about Bill Gate, the co-founder of Microsoft, and

answer the questions below.(1.0 point)

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.
