A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.
The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.
There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.
The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure.
CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.
To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment. To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs.The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.
The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
小题1:Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?| A．Apple founder Steve Jobs himself. | | B．the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers. | | C．Steve Jobs" friends. | | D．Steve Jobs’ daughter. |
小题2:Which is the best title of the passage ? | A．A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs. | | B．Steve Jobs" plan. | | C．Steve Jobs" time capsule is uncovered. | | D．The tube by Steve Jobs. |
小题3:How old is Steve Jobs now?| A．58 years old . | | B．20 years old. | | C．30 years old. | | D．48 years old. |

As a matter of fact, I am one of the men in the world and have all the things that money can buy. a year ago, my wife died, and since then l have been thinking about my life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet in life, one of which was it would be like to live like a on the streets. I promised to do that for one year. For the past year, I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, don"t ever judge a by its cover, for a cover can fool you “
“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy. For there is one thing that people can"t take away from you, and that is your .” At that moment, he put my right hand in his and put them upon the books he had from the shelves.

There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
