根据材料回答{TSE}题: Bill Gates: Unleashing Your Creativity I've always been an optimists and I suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place. For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I satdown at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooke D. It was a chunky old teletype ma-chine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today. But it changed my life. When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of“a computeron every desk and in every home,” which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when mostcomputers were the size of refrigerators. But we believed that personal computers would change their world. And they have. And after 30 years, I'm still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade. I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inven-tiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own. Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of theworld's knowledge. They're helping us build communities around the things we care about and to stayclose to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are. Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love todo. He calls it 'tap-dancing to work'. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makesme 'tap-dancing to work' is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognizeyour handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos, and they say, 'Ididn't know you could do that with a PC!' But for. all the cool things that a person can do with a PC, there are lots of other ways we can putour creativity and intelligence to work to improve our worl D. There are still far too many people in theworld whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseasesthat are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world. I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as manypeople as possible. As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragic than the deathpf a child anywhere else, and that it doesn't take much to make an immense difference in thesechildren's lives. I'm still very much an optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world's toughest problemsis possible--and it's happening every day. We're seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostictools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world. I'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology.And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough prob-lems, we're going to make some amazing in all these area in my life. {TS}A computer was as big as an icebox when Bill Gates was a high school student.

根据材料回答{TSE}题: Ginseng Shows Benefits in Cancer Treatment Flaxseed slowed the growth of prostate tumors in men, while ginseng helped relieve the fatiguethat cancer patients often feel, US researchers reported on Saturday in two of the first scientificallyrigorous looks at alternative medicine. The studies reflect doctor's efforts to explore the risks and benefits of foods and supplements thatare routinely taken by their patients with little scientific proof they help. Americans spend between $36 billion and $ 46 billion year on complementary and alternative therapies, according to the NationalCenter for Health Statistics. 'Patients are taking these compounds but we need to know if they are do-ing any good or any harm,' said Dr. Bruce Cheson of Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, who led a panel on alternative therapies at a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. In the flaxseed study, researchers at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina and col-leagues evaluated the seed's role as a food supplement in 16I men who were scheduled to undergo sur-gery for prostate cancer. 'The growth rate was decreased in the men who got flaxseed,' said Dr. NancyDavidson, an oncologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who is president-elect of ASCO. 'Ithink this is fascinating.' Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and lignins, a fiber found on the seedcoat. 'We were looking at flaxseed because of its unique nutrient profile,' said Wendy Demark-Wah-nefried, a researcher in Duke's School of Nursing, who led the study. Half of the men in the study added 30 grams of flaxseed daily to their diets for about 30 days. Halfof the flaxseed group also went on a low-fat diet. After the surgery, the cancer ceils in both the flax-seed groups grew about g0 to 40 percent slower than the control group. But Demark-Wahnefried is not ready to prescribe flaxseed. 'It's a healthy food. It has a lot of vita-mins and a lot of fiber. But we can not definitely say at this point you should take flaxseed because it isprotective against prostate cancer,' she said, adding that flaxseed now needed to be studied to see if itcan prevent prostate cancer. In the ginseng trial, Debra Barton of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and colleaguestested three different does of the herb on patients with a variety of cancers who were expected to liveat least six months. Twenty-five percent of patients taking a 1, 000-my dose and twenty-seven percentof patients taking a 2, 000-mg does said their fatigue symptorns were 'rnoderately better' or 'muchbetter'. Only 10 percent of those taking a 750-mg dose reported an improvement, which was about thesame as the placebo group. Patients on the trial took Wisconsin ginseng from a single crop that wastested for uniform. potency. It was powered and given in a capsule form. 'I wouldn't have predictedthis, I have to admit,' Davidson said in an interview. 'We might want to test this in a large scale. The flaxseed study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the ginseng study was supported by US Public Health Service grants. {TS}Paragraph 2__________
