A British teenager has become a multi-millionaire after selling an application software he

created to web giant Yahoo. The deal is reported to be worth up to 30 million dollars and includes a position working on Yahoo s future mobile projects. Nick D Aloisio, 17, started his Summly app (应用软件)when he was just 15. He was studying for school exams and became frustrated at ploughing through lengthy online articles. He created the app to summarize long reports so that people could more easily understand the content. Yahoo s boss of mobile content development Adam Cahan said: " It started with an insight that we live in a world of constant information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that are important to us, at a glance." Nick taught himself to write software when he was 12 years old. He developed the bulk of his Summly app in his bedroom. He launched his app when he was 15 and it soon attracted over 1.5 million dollars of investment, including from Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Stephen Fry. The purchase by Yahoo makes the British teen one of the world s youngest self-made millionaires. He believes his connection with Yahoo is perfect, saying: "To me, Yahoo is the best company to be joining right now because it s one of these classic Internet companies. With new leadership from Marissa Mayer, Yahoo has a strong focus on mobile and product, and that s the perfect match for Summly." He says his parents will help him manage the financial windfall (飞来之财)but that he was not driven to the deal by dollar signs. "Technology has really been the driver behind this whole deal," he said. "I cant wait to see how it plays out at Yahoo."

The British teenager has______ .

A.set up a software company

B.saved Yahoo from its decline

C.become wealthy with his app

D.developed a new model of mobiles

At 13 years old, Keith Peiris is the world's youngest CEO(Chief Executive Officer). But he says that there is nothing different about him compared to other children his age.

Keith launched(开办)a website for his own company at the age of 10. While other children were receiving awards for their achievements, Peiris was giving scholarships from Cyberteks Design, his own company, to pupils at his school.

Though he's just a teenager, he is already experiencing the pains of adult life.

Peiris is about 1.5 metres tall with big brown eyes and curly (卷曲的)jet-black hair. "His big eyes show his intelligence. They show his wisdom," said Christine St Pierre, a journalist from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

When he was asked for an exclusive (独家的)interview, Peiris looked at his watch and said, "20 minutes, 30 minutes at most, OK?"

He has the air of a real businessman who treasures every minute of his time.

Cyberteks Design mainly serves North America. But since Peiris visited China, he said he would try to find a way to cater for(迎合) China's Shanghai market as well.

"China is growing and in the next 10 to 20 years it will be among the top countries for business. Now China's become a member of the WTO, Shanghai will have more business opportunities ," said the young businessman.

"At the moment it is hard to compete with local companies in Shanghai because of the cost, especially of hardware."

"At first, my age will be the largest issue, but in the end that won't be important," he added, "Once I get more and more clients(客户),we will build a reputation(信誉) and people will take me more seriously."

Peiris answers questions quickly and is very articulate (表达能力强的)for his age. He said he had come to know Shanghai pretty well through TV programmes shown on CNN before his trip.

He added, "When I was about five, my father gave me my own computer and started teaching me a few things about how to use it. I have not seen any parents do that for their children."

Keith Peiris is now ______.

A.a student

B.CEO of a company

C.doing business in Shanghai

D.both A and B
