Walter Isaacson’s new biography(传记)of Steve Jobs is a very successful book of the year, but Isaacson is confused that so many journalists writing about the book have hold the anecdotes(轶事)about Jobs behaving like a monster to the people around him, without setting those anecdotes against the larger picture of everything that Jobs accomplished in his life.
"You have to judge people by the outcome," says Isaacson, the former editor of Time magazine who has written bestselling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. "In the end, Steve Jobs had four loving children who were all intensely loyal to him and a wife who was his best friend for 20 years. At work he ends up with a loyal professional team of A players at Apple who swear by him and stay there, as opposed to other companies that are always losing good talent. In the end he was an inspiring person. He inspired loyalty and real love. So you judge him by that."
Jobs died on October 5 at the age of 56 after battling cancer for many years. Isaacson, who spent two years working on the book, has fond memories of dinners with the Jobs family in their home in Palo Alto, Calif., sitting around a big wooden table in the kitchen beside a brick pizza oven. The house where Jobs lived with his wife, Laurene, and their children has no hedges or high walls, no long driveway. Out back is a vegetable and flower garden with beehives from which the family collects their own honey. "It was a house that you would not turn your head to look at as you go down the street. It was built in the 1930s and had no lavish spaces, no McMansion qualities. It was just a normal Palo Alto neighborhood home," Isaacson says.
What did Isaacson think about Jobs’ house?
选项
A、It was like a flower garden.
B、It was built in the 1940s.
C、It was just a normal home without lavish spaces.
D、It was like a brick pizza oven.
答案
C
解析
由题手中的Isaacson,Jobs’house定位到第三段最后三句。文中提及Isaacson说乔布斯的房子是那种走在街上你都不会回头看一眼的类型,它建于20世纪30年代,没有什么奢华的空间,也没有大厦般的质感,它只是帕罗奥图普通的邻家房舍,C)为原文的同义转述。
