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!

Ⅶ.任务型阅读:阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。(共5小题,计10分)
Today, young people spend about six hours a day in front of a TV or a computer and less than four minutes playing outdoors. It is not healthy for the mind and the body when time spent using technology replaces outdoor time.
Some health experts(专家) call green time“vitamin G”. Kids who don't get outdoors much are likely to have trouble in school. Doctors believe that is because being outdoors excites the mind more than sitting around indoors. Even those who usually spend a lot of time outdoors notice a difference when they don't get green time. Madelyne P., 14, says, “I feel more tired when I don't get outdoors.”
Researchers believe the positive(积极的) effects of green time come from the physical activity in pastimes such as hiking or boating. Exercise produces brain chemicals that improve learning, mood, and sleep. It also improves learning by increasing connections between nerve cells that are important in learning and memory. Some schools hold classes outside for those reasons. Student Hannah Smith, 18, says she believes the outdoors helps her focus and gets her to learn. Learning in a forest sparked her interest in art and photography, too.
Even doctors are helping give their patients a dose of vitamin G. Miller writes“park prescriptions(处方)” for her patients because, she says, “being outdoors is good for health.” She finds that when she gives patients park prescriptions, they are likely to continue with them.
Getting outdoors can be simple, just like calling together your family for a picnic lunch. All it takes is five minutes or more of green time. Get outside, and get your vitamin G!
71. Do young people today spend more time in front of a TV than playing outdoors
72. What do some health experts call green time
73. Where do the positive effects of green time come from
74. Why does Miller write“park prescriptions” for her patients
75. What does the passage mainly tell us about Vitamin G

Reading
As we all know, reading has a lot of advantages.
It can open up our eyes because books are full of knowledge, and it makes us wiser and richer in life.
I like reading newspapers and magazines, from which I get lots of fun and learn about what's going on around the world. I also read storybooks and novels in my spare time, which makes me relaxed and happy. I seldom read e-books because they' re bad for my eyes. On weekends, I usually spend a whole afternoon reading in the library. And I also read for about half an hour before going to bed every night.
I'm sure reading can make a difference to my life.
