III. Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi.
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.
