The World Wide Web is so common and popular that not a day goes by when we don’t use the World Wide Web. Today 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 don’t 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 engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Since CERN 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-Lee’s 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.?

4. The World Wide Web was created to _____.

A. help people get information easily and quickly

B. support the development of mobile technologies

C. improve communication between scientists at CERN.

D. make it easier for British scientists to communicate

5. As for Berners-Lee’s paper, his boss _____.

A. felt puzzled about it B. showed no interest in it

C. was certain about it D. had no confidence in it

6. According to the text, Berners-Lee _____.

A. doesn’t give up easily when in trouble

B. is a 55-year-old Swiss physicist

C. has worked at CERN for 25 years

D. knows little about the Internet

7. What would be the best title for the text?

A. The popularity of the web.

B. Interview with Tim Berners-Lee.

C. Tips on improving the website.

D. World Wide Web turns 25!

C

As was often the case, if you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.

Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.

To investigate the brain’s response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal’s brains.

When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn’t respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey’s own mistakes.

Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s errors. “You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.” Ellen de Bruijn told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.

8. According to Paragraph l, animals’ ability to learn from others’ mistakes _____.

A. used to be ignored by humans

B. helps them to survive better

C. is being lost because of humans

D. ensures that they will never fail

9. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques, we can see _______.

A. animals can avoid the same mistakes

B. which part of the brain is more active

C. how the brain responds to mistakes

D. how the brain processes information

10. In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to ___.

A. others’ mistakes B. the same buttons

C. one’s own mistakes D. the monkey’s brain

11. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Animals can learn from mistakes like human beings.

B. An interesting experiment by scientists surprised us.

C. Monkeys can avoid making mistakes by learning from us.

D. The brain cells are always sensitive to others’ information.

Recently,the word ‘‘selfie” often appears in our life and some articles state that the word ‘‘selfie” has become one of the most annoying words. But I’d like to offer that maybe it is not so bad. The “selfie” is used to describe the self-taken photo, often from a smartphone. Women and men decorate their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts with these pictures, sometimes with puckered (翘起) lips or large smiles. In fact, the selfie has become so widely known that over 31 million photos on Instagram are taken with the selfie.

Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do, and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful? In that one picture, someone has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is important. In society today, we are so often consumed with what society tells us is perfect. But maybe, with that one selfie, we feel that we fit that bill. We feel handsome, beautiful, confident, smart, happy and content. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us is erased, because that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.

I saw a spoken word poem recently and the young man said: If I ask you what you love, the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds, music, your mom, your brother, your sister, your daughter, your best friend, your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said “I love myself”?

That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However, the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Pamela Rutledge agrees, stating, “There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”

12. According to the author, selfie ______.

A. is an annoying habit for people

B. becomes a fashion among teenagers

C. makes a person become self-centered

D. gives a person a sense of confidence

13. The author mentions a poem in the passage to stress ______.

A. the power of true love B. the endless love we get

C. the need to love ourselves D. the kinds of love we have

14. What Pamela Rutledge said in the last paragraph suggests that ______.

A. selfie provides more photos of real people

B. selfie gets models to take more photos

C. selfie helps more people look like models

D. selfie causes models to be out of work

15. The best title for the passage is ______.

A. The Origin of Selfie B. The Value of Selfie

C. Selfie Causes Bad Effects D. Selfie Creates Beauty
