4. Read the text and choose whether the statements are true or false
Bill Gates
He's the most famous businessman in the world. Many pages
have been written about how he has dominated the revolution in
personal computing. But we know little about him as a person. Here's
a familiar anecdote which may show his personality: when Bill Gates
was in the sixth grade, his parents decided that he needed some kind
of help. He was at war with his mother Mary, an extrovert woman who
believed that he should do what she told him. She would call him to
dinner from his bedroom, which she had given up trying to make him
clean, but he wouldn't respond.

"What are you doing?" she once asked him.

"I'm thinking," Bill answered.
"You're thinking?"
"Yes, Mom, Im thinking," he said aggressively. "Have you tried
thinking?"
Finally, his parents decided to send him to a psychologist. The
psychologist concluded that Bill was extremely intelligent. After a
one year session and a large amount of tests, the psychologist told
Bills parents: "You're going to lose. You had better adjust to it
because theres no use trying to punish him. It's useless to try to
compete with him." A lot of computer companies have concluded the
same.
His parents decided he needed help when he was in the ninth grade.
