Questions 16 to 19 refer to the following text.

William H. Gates III was born in Seattle, Washington, the second of three children, in
between an older and a younger sister. His father was a successful attorney, and it was
expected that young Bill would follow in his father’s footsteps. He was a notably gifted
student who did well in all subjects but showed a special aptitude for mathematics. When he
was 13, his parents believed he was not being challenged in his public school and enrolled
him in the private and highly demanding Lakeside School. The school acquired a computer
terminal, and young Bill Gates was immediately fascinated. He and a small group of friends,
including his future business partner Paul Allen, took every opportunity to explore the
possibilities of the new technology, teaching themselves the basics of computer
programming.
Soon Gates and his friends were working part-time and summers, writing computer
programs for large businesses around the Seattle area. Although they were all precociously
gifted programmers, it became clear that Gates had a unique talent for business as well, and
he quickly emerged as the leader of the group. Gates and Paul Allen closely followed events
in the computer industry and foresaw that the development of microprocessors would lead
to the creation of compact affordable, personal computer that would someday supplant the
bulky mainframe systems used in business and industry.
Meanwhile, Gates continued to excel in his studies and followed his parents’ wishes by
going to Harvard. Paul Allen soon moved to Boston to work for Honeywell and continue their
collaboration. The pair were galvanized by a cover story in Popular Electronics, promoting
the Altair 8800, an inexpensive microcomputer produced by a company called MITS in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Gates and Allen saw this as the beginning of a new industry. No
one had yet developed software for the Altair, and the young programmers saw a unique
opportunity. They adapted the computer language BASIC to run on the new device, although
they had never actually seen one. On the strength of this programming feat, they secured a
software development contract with MITS. With irresistible business opportunities
beckoning, Gates left Harvard at the beginning of his junior year to make the leap into the
world of business. Along with Paul Allen, he moved to New Mexico at the end of 1975 to
produce software for MITS. The following year, they started their own company, Microsoft.

Ducati builds emotions.
The world's most attractive motorcycles are the result of a deep commitment to racing
competitions; they are the purest expression of refined skill, unmistakable design and above
all, a great passion for bikes.
Ducati is proud to represent Italian industry - the essence of Italian style shows
through the design of each bike. Sinuous, seductive and flexible lines with a permanent,
timeless quality that sets an unsurpassable standard.
Ducati Bikes – in over 60 nations throughout the world- these models dominate the
dreams of the most ardent motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Desmodromic valve control system, the steel tubular Trellis frame, the L-Twin
engine and the unmistakable sound of the power unit – these are the distinguishing features
that underline the uniqueness of a Ducati.
The list of our bikes' victories is proof of the value of our working philosophy: in the
World Superbike Championship, Ducati has won 15 out of the last 18 Riders’ titles and 16
Manufacturers’ titles, while in the 2007 MotoGP championship – less than four years after
Ducati’s debut in the series – our Desmosedici GP7 topped the world Riders and
Manufacturers’ rankings.
The bond that, starting from the racetracks, ties Ducatisti the world over to the factory
itself overcomes all barriers and is expressed by the Desmo Owners Clubs. The DOCs are in
fact like a clan, linked by their allegiance to the Ducati flag. Ducatisti meet up at racetracks
and events, at the World Ducati Week and also on Ducati.com, which is visited by over 12
million fans each year.
The story of the Ducati dream, which began in Bologna in 1926, is recounted at the
Ducati Museum. Here the stories of legendary bikes and riders are told and a pure passion
for performance and excellence permeates the air. A passion that travels fast, opening new
roads and creating history.

and turn it into liquid form that we can use to stick anything including the parts of our handicraft. Follow
these following steps if you want to use the Glue Gun.
1. Check and clean the glue gun from any old glue clogging in the nozzle.
2. Put the glue stick into the gun nozzle.
3. Insert the plug into the electricity socket.
4. Prepare a sheet of paper and put the glue gun on it.
5. Wait until the gun get warmer.
6. Squeeze the trigger gently to check if the glue stick has changed into liquid form.
7. Finaly, you can apply it on any surface that you want to stick by using this glue gun.
