I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all， and what’s more， I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed， rode on it for several stops， then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough， then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time， I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived， and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully， nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.

About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.

I hear many parents saying that their teenage children are rebellion(反叛的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they degree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one another’s hands for safety.

　　They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧) -----into a larger cocoon.

　　It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award(奖励) high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

　　But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-----with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

　　29. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell_______.

　　   A. readers how to be popular in the word

　　   A. have much difficulty in understanding each other

　　   B. dare not do things　

C. are not sure of themselves

　   　D. are very much afraid of getting lost

　　31. Which of the following is NOT true according to passage?

　   　A. There is no popularity that really counts.

　　   B. What many parents are doing is actually keeping their children from finding their own paths.

　  　C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.

How the World Wide Web Started

　　Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software(软件) programme that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web. Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners-Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial (商业的) computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packing material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s scientists were already communicating using a primitive version (版本) of e-mail . While working at a laboratory in Switzerland .

In 1990 he wrote the HTTP(服务程序所用的协议) and HTML(超文本链接标示语言) programmes which form the basis of the World Wide Web .

　　The next year his programmes were placed on to the Internet . Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could .

　　In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web consortium(协会), or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented(代表) by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can share equally on the web. ‘ The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love and are human.
