it has become almost as important to every family as food and water! this year, the world wide web has turned 25 years old. what many people dont know is that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in switzerland.in 1989, tim berners-lee was a 34-year-old british physicist working as a software（软件）engineer at cern, the european organization for nuclear research in switzerland. since cere was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.berners-lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. his paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer ( connected through the internet) allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. however, berners-lees boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, berners-lee went on to develop the world wide web. he came up with ideas such as hyper-text transfer protocol（超文本传输协议）to allow computers to talk to each other, hyper-text markup language (html) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser（浏览器）to see them.in december 1990, the world wide web was demonstrated（展示）and in 1991, the www project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers. berners-lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. he wanted the internet to be easy for anyone to use-a free open software. his wishes soon came true.although the world wide web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.56. the world wide web was created to .a. help people get information easily and quicklyb. support the development of mobile technologiesc. make it easier for british scientists to communicated. improve communication between scientists at cern57. as for berners-lees paper, his boss .a. felt puzzled about itb. was uncertain about itc. had no confidence in it d.

internet59. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to _.a. a serverb. a browserc. htmld. the world wide web60. what would be the best title for the text?a. the future of the webb. world wide web turns 25!c. tips on improving your website d. interview with tim berners-leebits not easy being a teenager nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. you can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. it is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that youll still be there for him when he needs you.expect a lot from your child, just not everything. except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. if your child is unwilling to discuss something, dont insist he tell you whats on his mind. the more you insist, the more likely that hell clam up. instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. at the same time, remind him that youre always there for him, if he should seek advice or help. show respect for your teenagers privacy（隐私）. never read his mail or listen to his personal conversations.teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. if your child talks on the familys telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. this not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）. or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.61. the main purpose of the text is to tell parents _.a. how to get along with a teenagerb. how to respect a

not talk about personal things with him.64. why do the parents require their child talk for 15 minutes only on the familys telephone?a. to teach the teenager moderation.b. to save money.c. to help the teenager spend more time on study.d. to keep quiet.65. according to the passage, which of the following is true?a. being a teenager is easier than being the parent of a teenager.b. its unnecessary to give your child the space he needs to grow.c. not expect a lot from your child, but everything.d. if your child seeks advice or help, you should remind him that youre always there for him.ca friend of
