A wave of shock and sadness swept across the globe on October 5 as the news of Steven Jobs’ death spread worldwide. It was soon followed by a global outpouring of condolences. Shanghai was no 37 as thousands of people stopped by the local Apple stores to pay their 38 . Mourners left behind flowers, red apples, and notes of condolence(吊唁)as a tribute to such a brilliant man.
In 2005, Steve gave the commencement speech at Stanford University in California. During this speech, Steve shared three stories from his life. The first story he called “connect the dots.” He talked about a series of events in his life ---- his unlikely adoption, coming from a poor family, 39 out of college, collecting pop bottles for money, and taking a calligraphy class. Looking back on these seemingly 40 events, Steve realized that it was this path that led him to success. He encouraged people to follow their intuition and “trust that the dots will somehow connect” in their future.
In his second story, Steve shared his embarrassing experience of being 41 from Apple ---- the company he started. It seemed like the end of his career, but he followed his passion and 42 vision and started Pixar, the most successful animation studio in the world.
The 43 story in Steve’s speech is now a little haunting. He spoke of death. He 44 every young person in the audience that “death is a destination we all share… Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
Steve Jobs 45 followed his own advice, for his was a life well lived. May we all take a lesson from his example, and remember, as Steve once said, “the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Once upon a time，a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 46 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other, 47 to give an answer.
Rather disappointed, the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Anyone who offers an answer will be handsomely rewarded. Those who fail will be punished .”
The time limit was due(到期的)in the twinkling of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 48 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 49 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 50 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 51 , “All right, let us know what it is.” The child blinked and said, “That 52 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is 53 as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...” “Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 54 .” The king was satisfied and the child was rewarded as expected.
Why did the ministers feel it so 55 to settle the problem? Because they fell in a trap, following a 56 way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. It is a static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 57 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 58 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic(动态的, from concrete to 59 ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet adequate to solve the problem.
