3 . Billionaire Bill Gates has offered the many thousands of graduates some career and life advice. Over a series of 14 tweets in his Tweeter posted last Monday, the world’s richest man used the words “impact”, “happiness” and “progress”. He did not mention money. Instead, he told the graduates what jobs he would be looking for if he started out today.

“AI (artificial intelligence), energy and bio-sciences are promising fields where you can make a huge influence”, he wrote. Earlier this year, Gates---who famously dropped out of Harvard to found Microsoft---said that artificial intelligence had “ phenomenal” potential, and “anything connected with that would be an exciting lifetime career.” In the same speech at Columbia University, he said there is a huge growing demand in the energy field to develop reliable, cheap and clean energy.

As well as urging new graduates to surround themselves with people who challenge you, teach you, and push you to be your best self, Gates reminded them to think of others, especially the less fortunate.

He wrote that it had taken him decades to learn about the world’s worst unfairness and described this lack of early understanding as his one big regret. “You know more than I did when I was your age,” he wrote, “ You can start fighting unfairness, whether down the street or around the world sooner.”

He finished by asking graduates to consider the progress human has already made, saying that he believe the world is getting better. “ That matters because if you think the world is getting better, you want to spread the progress to more people and places.”

1. Who has been given life advice by Gates recently?

A．High school students.	B．New employers.
C．Unemployed persons.	D．College graduates.

2. What words mentioned in Gates’ tweets?

A．Impact, happiness, money.

B．Impact, happiness, progress.

C．Happiness, progress, money.

D．Progress, impact, money.

3. What does the underlined word “that” in Para 3 refer to?

A．AI.

B．Energy.

C．Bio-sciences.

D．Microsoft.

4. What was Gates’ great regret about unfairness?

A．Not fighting with it.

B．Few people realized it.

C．Having too little early understanding of it.

D．Spending too little time learning about it.
