Questions 19 to 22 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. He was a
gifted student who did well in all subjects but showed
a special aptitude for mathematics. When he was 13,
his parents 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.
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 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.
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.
Because of the production of Altair 8800, an
inexpensive microcomputer produced by MITS, Gates
and Allen saw this as the beginning of a new industry.
3
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. As the result, they secured a
software development contract with MITS. With
irresistible business opportunities, 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.

Questions 23 to 26 refer to the following text.
Mathematicians are trying to make the
perfect cup of coffee. It might seem strange that

1,800 chemical components. If you combine these

coffee as it goes through coffee machines.
The research could change the way coffee
machines are made. A researcher said he wanted, "a
