Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote, the software(软件) programme that Ied to the foundation of the World Wide Web. Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners-Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial(商业的) computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s scientists were already communicating using a primitive rersion (原始版本) of e-mail. While working at a laboratory in Switzerland. Tim Berners-Lee wrote a programme , which let him store these messages. This gave him another idea: write a programme that will let academics(学术界人士) from across the world share information on a single place. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP(服务程序所用的协议) and HTML(超级本连接标示语言) programmes which form the basis of the World Wide Web.
The next year his programmes were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmers used his codes(编码) to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers(浏览器)and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100. 000.
In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web Consortium(协会), or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented(代表) by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can share equally on the web. "The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love and are human. It helps us understand the humanity of people." he says.

You must have seen an oil lamp before. But do you know how it
works? One end of the lamp wick (灯芯) is immersed (浸入) in oil
and the other end is not immersed. When you light the end which is not
immersed, it will burst into flame (火焰). This is because the oil is
able to rise up the lamp wick thus helping it to burn.

You must have heard the saying "Practice makes perfect" and this is largely true, of course. Another one is "Experience(经验) teaches", and a friend of mine, upon hearing this for the first time, said sadly. "Experience is probably the very best teacher, because it teaches us so many things we don't want to learn. "
It is said that a man of wisdom(智慧) is a man of years. Of course, we have to learn something new every day of our lives, and the more we know experience, the easier it becomes to
learn. The older we get, the more we understand. So remember that when you celebrate(庆祝)
your next birthday!

catering to the needs of tourists or senior citizens.
People find life in Canberra very relaxing and pleasant. The city is surrounded by beautiful mountains where people can ski. There is a large man-made lake lined with beaches and parks in the center of Canberra.
Canberra is now Australia's largest inland(内陆的)city .Many people living there have
come from other cities in Australia and also from other countries. .Some have come to Canberra
to work. Some have come to escape the busier ways of life in many other cities.
