as a teenager in 1972, bill gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20.while he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later he was a billionaire.and by 1992, as head of the microsoft corporation, he became the richest man in america with us$6.3 billion.
born in seattle, washington on 28 october 1956, gates was named william henry after his father and grandfather.from the beginning, he was an extremely intelligent child.he had read the whole world book encyclopedia by the age of nine.his favorite subjects at school were science and maths and his favorite pastime was“thinking”.he was a year younger than most of his classmates and small for his age.the skinny, left-handed boy was often the object of jokes and found himself treated as an outsider by his peers.
if being teased (戲弄) bothered young bill, however, he didn’t show it.while other children were outside playing games and enjoying sports, bill spent all of his spare time reading his books and doing his papers.when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, 11-year-old bill said, “a scientist.”
gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13.at that time, computers were large.operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used.before long, gates was an expert at working the school’s computer.along with a group of older students, he set about learning every computer language and function there was.
