When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web（WWW）all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesnt think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today. Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!51.

He has made great achievements in memory researchD I have tried to write a ghost story that wont make you unhappy with yourselves, with each other, with the seasons, or with me. I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly. One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three oclock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark. Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you! cried a happy voice. It was Scrooges nephew. Bah! said Scrooge. Humbug (骗人的话). Christmas is a humbug! Surely you dont mean that, Uncle. said his nephew. I do, said Scrooge. Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You are poor. OK, then, replied the nephew cheerfully. What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Dont be angry, Uncle! said his nephew. What else can I be? answered the uncle, I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! Whats Christmas time to you? Its a time for paying bills without money. Its a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying Merry Christmas should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should! Uncle! Please dont say that!said the nephew. Ive always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable, happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it! Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him. One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit, said Scrooge, and youll celebrate Christmas by losing your job! Dont be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow. No. said Scrooge. Im sorry you dont want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle ! Good afternoon! said Scrooge. And a Happy New Year! said his nephew. Good afternoon! said Scrooge again.
