1. Early life and childhood Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955. He was adopted(收养) shortly after his birth by a couple(夫妇) named Clara and Paul Jobs. He grew up in California. Later in life, Jobs discovered who were his birth parents. However, Jobs only had some communication with his birth mother.
2. College dropout After leaving high school, Jobs entered Reed College in 1972. Jobs stayed there for only one semester, because his parents couldn’t afford his education.

He said, “I was in the parking lot (停车场)with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, ‘If this is my last night on Earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? ’ I ran across the parking lot, and asked her if she’d have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we’ve been together ever since. ”
4. His sister is a famous author Later in his life, Jobs met up with his biological sister Mona Simpson, the famous author of Anywhere But Here.
