Translate the following text into Chinese.Your translation should be written on the ANSWER SHEET.（15 points）A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations.He ticks“astronaut”but quickly adds“scientist”to the list and selects it as well.The boy is convinced that if he reads enough.He can explore as many career paths as he likes.And so he reads—everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels.He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a“no reading policy”at the dinner table.That boy was Bill Gates,and he hasn’t stopped reading yet—not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet.Nowadays,his reading material has changed from science fiction and reference books recently,he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year.Gates chooses nonfiction title because they explain how the world works.“Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge,”Gates says.

Popular British author,Charles Dickens′（1812--1870）family could hardly make ends meet.They could only afford to send one of their six children to school.Dickens was not that child.His parents chose to send a daughter,who had a talent for music,to an academy.Then at the age of 12,Dickens′life took another turn for the worse.
His father,a clerk,was placed in prison for unpaid debts.And,being the oldest male left at home,Dickens took up work at a factory.His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing.His father was freed three months later and inherited a small amount of money.Dickens was then sent to school.
From 1836 to 1837,he wrote a monthly series of stories.Thus The Pickwick,Papers,came into being,which brought fame to him.
Throughout his career,Dickens covers various situations in his novels.He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in Oliver Twist,the French Revolution in Tale of Two Cities,and social reform in Hard Times.He also wrote David Copperfield,a book thought to be modeled on his own life.
"I do not write bitterly or angrily,for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am,"he once said.His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became,as well as his writing career.There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters,including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist.
Like the author,all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success."Minds,like bodies,will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort,"he once wrote.On June 9th,1870,aged 58,Dickens died,leaving one unfinished work.The words on his tombstone read:"He was a sympathizer to the poor,the suffering and the oppressed,and by his death,one of England′s greatest writers is lost to the world."

The Storyteller
1 Steven Spielberg has always had one goal:to tell as many interesting stories to as many people as possible.The son of a computer scientist and a pianist,Spielberg spent his early childhood in New Jersey and then Arizona.Some of his childhood memories became the inspiration for his filmmaking.
2 Even decades later,Spielberg says he has vivid memories of his earliest years,which are the origins of some of his most successful films.He believes that E.T.is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parent ' 5 1966 divorce.He commented,"It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life."Close Encounters of the Third Kind was inspired by times when the four-year-old Steven and his father would search the skies for meteors（流星）.His mother remembers,"He was scared of just about everything.When trees brushed against the house,he would jump into my bad.And that'5 just the kind of scary stuff he would put in films like Poltergeist."
3 Spielberg was 1 1 when he first got his hands on his dad'5 movie camera and began shooting short flicks（电影）about flying saucers（飞碟）and World War II battles.These homemade movies gave him a way to escape his fears.From the very beginning,he had a creative imagination.With his talent for scary storytelling, he could terrify his three younger sisters.It also made it easier for him to make friendships.On Boy Scout camping trips,when night fell,young Steven became the center of attention."Steven would start telling his ghost stories,"says Richard Y.Hoffman.Jr.,leader of Troop 294,"and everyone would suddenly get quiet so hat they could all hear."
4 Spielberg moved to California with his father and went to high school there,but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated.Both UCLA and USC film schools rejected him,so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood.Spielberg was determined to make movies,and he managed to get an unpaid, non-credit internship（实习）in Hollywood.Soon he was given a contract, and he dropped out of college.He never looked back.
5 Now,many years later,Spielberg is still telling stories with as much passion as when he was a boy.Ask him where he gets his ideas,and Spielberg will shrug."The process for me is mostly intuitive,"he says."There are films that I feel that I need to make.And it's for a variety of reasons,for personal reasons,or because I just want to have fun.Or maybe because the subject matter is cool,and I think that my kids will like it."

Some of Spielberg's most successful movies came from________
A:making children laugh
B:almost everything
C:a lot of money
D:his childhood memories
E:telling scary stories
F:a number of reasons
