The world’s richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.

Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.

He said: “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”

Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. “Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn’t it?” he said

This isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.

Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).

He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.

As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes andracquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.

When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. “Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this problem.” he said.

25. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. An Interview with Bill Gates B. How Bill Gates Succeeded

C. Bill Gates’ Regret D. The Richest Billionaire

26. The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____.

A. it is important to lay a good foundation of life B. food and clothing are basic needs for people’s life

C. he doesn’t spend much money on food and clothes D. he never cares about buying food and clothing

27. What advice did Bill Gates give?

A. Avoid staying up too late. B. Be a good language learner.

C. Do the dishes yourself at home. D. Pick up the $100 bills in the streets.

28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Bill Gates is also the founder of Facebook . Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times.

C. Bill Gates was good at learning languages in high schoo1.

D. Bill Gates’ wife wants Samuel to play a game with Gates.

Who would have thought that potato fries could unite an entire country? Well, that seems to be the case in Belgium where there is currently a movement to have Belgian potato fries officially recognized as cultural heritage.

The fries are served in a paper cone(圆锥体) from a “fritkot”， which is a shack(小屋)or a food truck. Across Belgium, there are at least 5,000 fritkots which is 10 times more common than McDonald's restaurants in the United States.

The movement for the fries to be declared official cultural heritage was started by UNAFRI, also known as t
