Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water! This year, the World Wide Web has turned 25 year

10、s 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 S

11、witzerland. 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

12、 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.

13、 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,

14、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

15、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.25.

18、. Interview with Tim Berners-Lee CThe Oxford English Dictionary has just named its Word of the Year. From “Eurogeddon”, to “green-on-blue” and “Games Maker” to “Mobot”, many words that have crossed over into real usage had been shortlisted. The winner of the American edition (版本) isGIF short for Gra

19、phics Interchange Format (图像互换格式). The winning word of the British edition is “omnishambles” a situation that has been completely mismanaged because of careless mistakes.Language is as old as humans. In some ways it is surprising that languages change at all. Its interesting to note that the English

20、 language has developed more rapidly in the last few centuries, adding many words to its vocabulary, than just a few centuries ago. As the language develops, it will be interesting to follow the influences of social events, new technologies, industries, products and experiences that bring more richn

21、ess to our language.Over the last few years, the influence of the Internet has without exception been the greatest on our society. It has given us many words maybe even taking over the English language. And this year is no exception. The American editions word this year is GIF. GIF refers to a type

22、of format for pictures that can be used to create simple animations (动画). Have you seen a flip book or perhaps created one? These are books with a little picture up in the right-hand corner of each page and if you flip the pages quickly enough it appears as if the little pictures are moving. Similar

23、ly to create a GIF, you can put some pictures together. When you move these pictures rather quickly, your eyes see them as movement.GIF made its simple beginnings in 1987. While it is more usually pronounced with a hardg(like in “great”), the programmers who developed the format prefer the use of a

24、soft g (like d in“general”). Animated GIFs are now commonly seen on the Internet. This year, the animated Gangnam style GIF was extremely popular.29.

The future of the Internet.D. The history of languages.DWhat do you have in mind when you think about your type of personality? The

27、Myers-Briggs Test offers 94 questions designed to divide people into different groups according to 16 personality types. Career advisors often use these results to show people the jobs that are likely to fit their personality and be pleasing in the long run. Part of whats made the test so popular wi

28、th the general public is that its impossible to fail. While other tests are designed to find out what mental (精神的) illness someone has, the Myers-Briggs Test supposes that all 16 types represent shades of normal. Everyone who takes the test will belong to one of these types, and all of the types hav

29、e a place in society. Of course, this quality of the test is also one of the reasons why many experts question its usefulness, placing it only a step or two above astrology (占星术). They think the results are not exactly true, and that the 16 types cannot fit all people. As psychologist (心理学家) David J

30、. Pittenger wrote in 1993, “The descriptions of each type are generally making you feel important or special so that most people will accept the statements as true of themselves.”Another reason why experts question the scientific quality of Myers-Briggs is that the answers are totally self-reported.

31、 Analysts can spend hours explaining the results, but in the end, the test depends on whether test-takers can honestly answer questions about their own behaviors and preferences. On the whole, many psychologists feel that the Myers-Briggs Test can show how people see themselves, but not much more. T

32、hat information can be useful if youre a career advisor trying to help someone find the right job. But is it worth the millions of dollars people spend each year to run such a test? Its hard to say. We live in a culture where people seem willing to spend endless amounts of time and money to find themselves, and in that respect, it doesnt look like M
