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.

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!

“What is success ” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the other students.
Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess (过量). That is not success.”
“How about being able to provide for your family ” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”
“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus (与……相对)success.”
“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want ” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud. “Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”
“What does this have to do with business ” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy. “Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”
“What if I don’t have a family ” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.
“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr Gruber corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”
Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending ”
“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards …”

In a forest, two mice were always making up stories to make easy money.
It was April Fool’s Day and the mice had an idea. When a butterfly flew by with her heavy head and tired wings, the mice began to call out, “Power for sale! Power for sale!” The butterfly thought, “This is just what I need”. The mice told her that by keeping a special stone with her, she would have power and energy. So, the butterfly bought the little stone for five dollars.
Soon, word spread to other animals, and the mice sold two more stones: one that they promised would bring luck to a monkey and one that they said would give courage to a sheep. The mice saw a chance: they could open a store and sell stones that promised things like talent, beauty, and hope. They would be rich!
But then something happened. The butterfly lost her stone! However, she flew around with the same power as before. She realized that she did not get the power from the stone after all. It must have come from the sleep she got! Feeling silly, the butterfly went to her friends.
Together, they went to the mice. “The stone you sold me doesn’t give me luck!” said the monkey. “This stone doesn’t give me courage at all!” said the sheep.
Then the butterfly, thinking that she had the power to change the mice, said, “For you I have only pity. You have talent and imagination. Yet you waste them in cheating your friends out of money. You might be making fast money. But soon everyone will know that you are not honest.”
The mice listened and nodded. After much thought, they put down their stones and picked up paintbrushes — to make paintings, and sell their beautiful works to their friends.
