On October 5, 2011, around 3: 00 p. m. , Steve P. Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, died at his home in Palo Alto, California, aged 56, six weeks after resigning as CEO of Apple. The death was announced by Apple, the company that Mr. Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak started in 1976 in a suburban California garage.

Jobs was born in San Francisco and adopted at birth by Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs. Paul Jobs taught his son basic electronics and how to work with his hands. His adoptive mother was an accountant, who taught him to read before he went to school. Asked in a 1995 interview what he wanted to pass on to his children, Jobs replied, “Just to try to be as good a father to them as my father was to me. I think about that every day of my life. ”

Following high school graduation in 1972, Jobs was admitted to Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester, he continued taking classes at Reed, sleeping on the floor in friends’ rooms, returning Coke bottles for food money, and getting weekly free meals at the local temple.

In the late 1970s, they designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful personal computers, the Apple Ⅱ series. In 1985, after losing a power struggle, Jobs left Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets.

In 1986, he put money in and produced Toy Story (1995), making Jobs Disney’s largest shareholder at seven percent.

Apple’s 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company. He became a permanent CEO from 2000, developing the iPod, iPhone and iPad products. From 2003, he fought an eight-year battle with cancer. He underwent surgery in 2004 and received a liver transplant in 2009. And he took three medical leaves of absence before stepping down in August and turning over the power to Cook.

Jobs married Laurene Powell on March 18, 1991, and the couple had a son and two daughters.

1. According to the passage, how old was Steve P. Jobs when he got married to Laurene Powell?

A. 21. B. 30. C. 36. D. 45.

A. adoptive father and mother

B. birth father and mother

C. early life and education

D. middle school and college life
