A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks “astronaut” but quickly adds “scientist” to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads—everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels. He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a “no reading policy” at the dinner table.
　　一名五年级学生拿到一份家庭作业，要求从一份职业列表中选择将来的职业道路。他勾选了“宇航员”，但很快在表上添加了“科学家”，并将它也选上。这个男孩子相信，只要他读得书够多，那么他想探索多少职业道路都可以。于是，他就这样读书从百科全书到科幻小说，什么都看。他如饥似渴地读书，以至于他的父母不得不立下一条规矩：“吃饭时不许看书”。
　　That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet—not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet.

Gates chooses nonfiction titles because they explain how the world works. “Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge to explore”, Gates says.
