15．Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world．However，his invention has changed 
our lives．
     He was born in London，England in 1955．When he was a small boy，Tim was interested in playing with electrical things．He studied science at Oxford University．He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21．
     Tim started working on early computers．At that time，they were much bigger than now．He worked in England then Switzerland．Tim was really interested in two things，computers and how the brain works．How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly？He had to work with people all over the world．They shared information about computers．It was hard to manage all the information．He answered the 
same questions again and again．It took a lot of time．It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information．Tim also forgot things easily．Could a computer work like a brain？Could it"talk"to other computers？
     There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use．In 1989，Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web（WWW） all by himself．This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet．When people wanted to share information with others，they used the World Wide Web．The Internet grew quickly after that．
     Tim Berners-Lee doesn't think he did anything special．He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there．All he did was to put them together．He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today．
     Most inventors want to become rich．But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing．He now works in America．He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use．Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!

B．Talking to people around the world．
C．Studying how to connect computers．

A．Working on early computers            
B．Connecting different facts together

D．Repeating the answers to the same questions

A．He made information sharing on the Internet possible．

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago， the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land， hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another， so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages， and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared， life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today， it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正(T)誤(F)。

1.People moved from place to place to hunt animals.

2.The story says，“No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their life changed.” In this sentence， the word “they” means people.

3.When machines appeared， life in the cities changed again.

4.All people like to live only in big cities.

5.People built factories after the cities grew big.
