(120) Source Text 1: Indeed, Steve Jobs, more clearly than any of his contemporaries, recognized the computer as a tool not for top-down corporate repression but for bottom-up individual empowerment and creativity, a lifelong article of faith to which Apple and Pixar today bear living tribute. Before launching into his evangelistic spiel from the Flint Center stage last week, Jobs briefly eulogized Sony founder Akio Morita, grandfather of the consumer-electronics industry, who had died just a few days earlier. “He expressed his love for the human species in every product he made,” Jobs said in a clear, quiet voice. You get the feeling he couldnt imagine a better epitaph for himself.Steve Jobs was not religious. Although he dabbled in Buddhism (and acid), he never embraced the idea of organized religion, a fact that makes the Apple religion all the more ironic particularly his place in its belief system.His product introductions were not unlike the pope appearing at his Vatican window to bless his followers on Christmas. People would line up for hours to snag a seat for a Jobs keynote address. He would stroll onstage like a biblical prophet, dressed down to a modern version of the basics black turtleneck, Levis jeans, New Balance sneakers. For many Apple followers, this was the nearest they would ever come to seeing God. In her study, Lam quoted one fan saying, “For me, the Mac was the closest thing to religion I could deal with.”And so there, onstage, was Jobs, this quasi-religious figure, holding these devices that many in the audience believed could take them to a utopian place of computing beyond the bright white light of Apples commercials and into a magical space where everything works, where everyone connects, where everyone trades on the same digital spirit. At home or at their office desks, so many people followed Jobss introductions online that Web sites would regularly crash under the pressure.

With one row standing in front of my window and two between my door and gate, the path of the yard was absolutely huggedby flowers and grass. There were various types of multicolored flowers, such as floschrysanthemum, marigold, achyrophorus ciliatus, cosmos bipinnatus, hollyhock, balsam, zinnia and dahlia. But for me, the most appealing one was a morning glory over the fence. Over a month ago, I dug up the morning glory on the wayside in the country and then replanted it in the garden. It came into bloom within ten days. At first, two flowers came out, and after a couple of days five followed, and then eight of them. Now there were even innumerous flowers - with the sudden straggle all over the fence, the morning glory raised up shyly a myriad of purple or pink trumpets among verdant leaves. As rural people had the habit of getting up early for work, I got out of bed at five oclock in the morning, when it was right the prime or “virgin time” of the morning glories trumpeting in blossom with glistening dewdrops in their mouths. As a breeze passed by, they tossed their heads elegantly in a dance. They were light but never lighthearted; they were flimsy but never frayed. They were such a pleasing surprise when greeting to me every morning that I would linger before the fence all entwined by them so many times a day just for watching them in merry. At sunset I went out for a walk around the village or cross the town street. Sometimes, I enjoyed the refreshed field after a thundershower. The sun was lingering on the top of a mountain
