　　Many years before the United States was founded(建立), Americans had already invented barbecues．But the first barbecues, in fact, were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires．Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues．

　　One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary,“Fair and hot ; Browne; hack overset．”That is, on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attend a barbecue, and his carriage(馬車)fell over．It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time．Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner．

　　In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit(坑)for fuels(燃料)such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep．Today, the barbecue grills(燒烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭)or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move, and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over．

     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
