Elizabeth Holmes was named to last year's TIME 100 list of the world's most influential people because she developed a high tech approach to blood testing.She's being compared to people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.Just as Gates wanted a computer on every desk,Holmes wants a blood test in every drugstore.Her company,Theranos,has created what they call a painless,needle-free way to draw blood and test it Instead of a needle to the arm,its a pin prick (刺穿,扎穿) to the finger.
    At 19 years old,Holmes dropped out of Stanford University.Now,at 31,she's what lots of teenagers likely try hard to become.the youngest female billionaire in the world.Her company is now valued at close to ﹩ 10 billion.
    "You know,money is not what matters," Holmes said. "What matters is how well we do in trying to make people's lives better.That's why I'm doing this.That's why I work the way that I work.And that's why I love what I'm doing so much." Holmes is marketing Theranos as a faster and cheaper alternative to a process that hasn't changed meaningfully in decades.
    Theranos struck a partnership with drugstore chain Walgreens to build thousands of Wellness Centers.Every center would offer a menu of blood tests- ranging from cancer to cholesterol (膽固醇)----directly to consumers.And every test,Holmes said,would cost only a small part of what Medicare pays.
    Not everyone is sold just yet. Some critics argue the Theranos method doesn't extract enough blood to do all the tests it claims." Every time you create something new,there should be questions,and to me that's a sign that you've actually done something that is transformative," Holmes said.
    For as much promise as those tiny samples hold,Holmes is already known as a very real and rare example of what perseverance (堅持不懈) makes possible.She was young when she decided she wanted to change the world,and at nine years old she wrote a letter explaining her dreams to her dad: "What I really want out of life is to discover something new,something that mankind didn't know was possible to do."

  • 2.Friendship is something that everyone needs.Success is nothing without friends.You share life,happiness and sadness.A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.
       So,what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control?Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?
       My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years.What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.
       This makes me think about what friendship really means.I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument,fight,or the sadness of life.We promised each other we'd always be friends,through thick and thin.We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchildren.We always laughed at every little thing.
       But then her grandfather passed away (去世) and suddenly our friendship was nothing.It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet.I was sad and hurt that she would post (發(fā)帖子) what I told her for other people to see.I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent (發(fā)泄) her sadness,but I wish she'd kept everything between us.
       I don't understand why she broke our friendship,and I don't think I ever will.I think friendship means we'll always forgive each other for our mistakes.I hope that finally I'll find that true friend who will always be there for me,and I there for her.
