It is up to the application whether it quits or not - typically if the application uses documents or it has other windows that can be opened it will not quit.

Home directory

Where is the terminal
Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
Hardware
Touchpad
Need to press a little bit (instead of touch) for the left-click effect.
The right click is called secondary click in OS X. By default it is click with two fingers. We can change the setting by going to System Preferences/Touchpad/Secondary click.
Scroll: two fingers move up/down. The direction is like moving a paper; i.e. scrolling up will gradually show the next part of the content.
Zoom in/out: pinch with two fingers.
Smart zoom: double-tap with two fingers.
CPU information
sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
My macbook Pro 2015 shows i7-4980HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz.

Tips
Close an application
Clicking the red button does close/quit an application/a program. You need to use Command-Q.
Another answer: The red close button just closes the window. It is up to the application whether it quits or not - typically if the application uses documents or it has other windows that can be opened it will not quit. Applications with a single window (System Preferences, for example), will usually quit when the window is closed, since there isn't anything else it does.
