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.

24. 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

25. 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

26. 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

27. 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

Color is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have .People respond to different colors in different ways. Colors tell someone if you are friendly. In the same way they affect whether someone will continue clicking through your website. Colors determine if someone will start reading your article in a magazine or post on your website. Colors also help to keep people involved on your website and determine how long they stay. Of course that’s not just about the content. Colors also influence how people will respond and behave.

The next time you go into a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the colors. Do they decorate with vivid reds and oranges because they encourage diners to eat and leave quickly like many of the fast-food establishments(企业)?That is exactly the response they want.

Different cultures have different attitudes and preferences;thus ,they will have another color reaction. In China, “white ” stands for death and in Brazil, it is the color purple while in America it is black. People from warm countries respond favorably to warm colors;people from colder climates prefer cooler colors. In America , green is associated with jealousy or money. Blue (most popular ) is associated with trust ,responsibility, belonging and coolness.

This also means that color affects shopping habits. Different colors attract different kinds of customers .Red, orange, black and royal blue attract impulse(冲动的) buyers. Pink , light blue and navy attract smart budget shoppers. There is really a lot into it. To experience this, why not click on the following large companies’ websites that have spent the funds on this type of research now?

A. what colors mean to people in different countries.
