20、 Jobs accomplished in his life. “You have to judge people by the outcome,“ says Isaacson, the former editor of Time magazine who has written bestselling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. “In the end, Steve Jobs had four loving children who were all intensely loyal to him and a wi
21、fe who was his best friend for 20 years. At work he ends up with a loyal professional team of A players at Apple who swear by him and stay there, as opposed to other companies that are always losing good talent. In the end he was an inspiring person. He inspired loyalty and real love. So you judge h
22、im by that.“ Jobs died on October 5 at the age of 56 after battling cancer for many years. Isaacson, who spent two years working on the book, has fond memories of dinners with the Jobs family in their home in Palo Alto, Calif., sitting around a big wooden table in the kitchen beside a brick pizza ov
23、en. The house where Jobs lived with his wife, Laurene, and their children has no hedges or high walls, no long driveway. Out back is a vegetable and flower garden with beehives from which the family collects their own honey. “It was a house that you would not turn your head to look at as you go down
24、 the street. It was built in the 1930s and had no lavish spaces, no McMansion qualities.

Passage Two 35 The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blo
29、od on the street flows essentially from uncivil behaviour of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless peoplejust ordinary people acting carelessly
30、, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽 ). Researchers have estimated that as many as 80% of all automob
31、ile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep ones emo

33、e road. Significant legal advances have been made toward safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic(定期的 )road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the
34、accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who

44、r answer my phone on the road unless its urgent or traffic is at a standstill(停止 ).
