答案：
一个五年级学生收到一份家庭作业，让他从一张职业列表上选择未来的职业道路。他勾了“宇航员”，但很快又在列表上加上了“科学家”，也打了个勾。这个男孩确信，如果他阅读量够大，那他可以探索许多他喜欢的职业道路。因此他什么都看，从百科全书到科幻小说，无一不读。他如此热衷阅读，以至于他的父母不得不提出了一条在饭桌上“不得阅读”的原则。
这个男孩就是比尔盖茨，他迄今也没停止阅读——甚至在他成为地球上最成功人士之一后也没有放下阅读。如今，他的阅读材料已经从科幻作品切换到工具书。近来，他还透露一年他会阅读至少50本非虚构作品。盖茨选择非小说类纪实作品是因为它们能够解释世界的运行规则。“每本书都能打开探索新知识的大门。”盖茨说道。
