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.

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 can’t wait to see how it plays out at Yahoo." [br] The phrase "ploughing through" (Para. 1)most probably means "
