It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

Al herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspaper. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

Herpin died at the age of 94.

Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn(旅店) at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.

“Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr Smith.

“Yes, certainly, sir,” answered the man. “We serve it until half past nine.” “What are the times of meals then?” asked Mr Smith.

“Well, sir,” answered the man, “We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.”

Tim Berners-Lee, who received one million euros ($1.2 million) cash for creating the World Wide Web, says he would never have succeeded if he had charged money for his inventions.“ If had tried to demand fees…there would be no World Wide Web,” Berners-Lee, 49, said on June 15 at a ceremony (仪式) for winning the first Millennium Technology Prize, awarded by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation. “There would be lots of small webs,” The prize committee agreed. The Internet had existed for nearly 20 years when Mr Berners-Lee launched(推出) the world’s first website in August, 1991.But the Net was little more than a collection of computer connected with cables. It didn’t have a means (way) of sharing

information between different kinds of computers running different kinds of software. Mr Berners-Lee found ways to connect documents and other information using hypertext links. The universal hypertext language he created allows all kinds of software to communicate with(与……交流) each other. His creation(创造) made a generation of youthful millionaires and millionaires, lit the spark(火花) for the New Economy and paved the way for(为…铺平道路) great new industries such as e-commerce.

The invention could have made him unbelievably wealthy (rich), even by Internet standards. But Berners-Lee’s never devoted to commercialize(使商业化)or patent(取得…专利) his contributions(贡献) to the Internet technologies he had developed. Berners—Lee, who is originally from Britain, has mostly avoided both the fame and the fortune won by many of his Internet colleagues. Despite his prize, he remained modest(谦虚的) about his achievements. “I was just taking lots of things that already exited and added a little bit,” said Berner—Who now runs the standard-setting World Wide Web Consortium from office at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“Building the Web, I didn’t do it all myself,” he said. “The really exciting thing

about it is that it was done by lots and lots of people, connected with this great spirit.” Berners-Lee indeed took concept(观念)that were well known to engineers since the

1960s, but it was he who saw the value of marrying them. Pekka Tarjanne, chairman of the prize committee, said “no one doubts who the father of the World Wide Web is, except Berners-Lee himself. 51. Before the World Wide Web was invented, the Internet________.

A. was already in wide use. B. was used to share information C. was of little practical use D. didn’t exist for long.

52. From the passage we can conclude that Tim Berners-Lee is________.

A modest(谦虚的)and unselfish(无私的) B。 smart(聪明的and practical(实际的) C .creative(有创造力的) and rich D. honest and kind

53. What made it possible for all kinds of computers using different software to

communicate with each other?

B. a special kind of language Tim Berners-Lee created C. a special kind of software Tim Berners-Lee created. D. the World Wide Web

E. Tim Berners-Lee’s improvement on the Internet.

54. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that _________.

F. a lot of people doubt the invention of World Wide Web

G. Berners-Lee himself thinks World Wide Web was invented by other people. H. All the people owe thanks to Berners-Lee for his invention. I. No one is really sure who invented World Wide Web.

D

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century B C.

We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.

During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.

By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have hot changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors. 55. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in

Bacteria(细菌) are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in micron. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter; a pinhead is about a millimeter across, Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron across. Thus, if you magnified a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just the size of a pinhead, while a grown-up human enlarged by the same amount would be over a mile tall.

Even with an ordinary microscope(显微镜), you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one can hardly find bacteria. Nor can one make out anything of their structure(结构), of course. Only by using special colors, can one see that some bacteria have wavy-looking “hairs” called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella move round a central point, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can move along over surface by some little-understood “machinery”.

From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium, water is as thick as molasses(糖浆) is to us. Bacteria are
