Along with his friend Stephen Woziak, he designed the Apple Computer in his garage (车库).

Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual one because he wants to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want the names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound.

For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at school. But when staying with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.

During the 1890s, basketball was becoming the most popular gym game in America. But basketball was not a good sport for older people to play, because of much running in the game.
So in 1895, William Morgan, a gym teacher in Holyoke, Massachusetts, America, decided to invent a new game that would be good for older persons too. He invented a game which was played with the same kind of ball as basketball, but more like tennis.
At first Morgan called the game “minonette”. But when he watched players hitting the ball back and forth (向前) with their hands, or “volleying (凌空截球)”, he changed the name to volleyball.
