　　    It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with　　 a single passenger who had gained his transportation (摆渡) at that　　 unusual hour by promising an extra money. While the youth stood in　　 the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the boatman lifted　　 a lantern (灯笼), with the help of which, together with the newly risen　　 moon, he caught a clear sight of the stranger. He was a young man of　　 barely eighteen years, obviously country-brought up, and now as it　　 seemed on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat,　　 which was in poor shape, but which had seen many winters before this　　 one. The garment (衣服) under his coat were constructed of leather　　 (皮革), and fitted tightly to a pair of shoes, his stockings of blue　　 yarn (毛线) must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his　　 head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps　　 sheltered the gray head of the youth's father. In his left hand was a　　 walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag which　　 hung on the strong shoulders. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features　　 (容貌), bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose　　 name was Kobin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the　　 town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than　　 thirty miles that day. As he walked, he looked around eagerly as if he　　 were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little capital of a new　　 England colony (殖民地).

　　Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software program 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)computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980's scientists were already communicating using a primitive version of e-mail. While working at a lab in Switzerland Tim Berners-Lee wrote a program, which let him store these messages. This gave him another idea that he was going to write a program that would let academics(学术界人士)from across the world share information on a single site. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP and HTML programs, which formed the basis of the World Wide Web.

　　The next year his programs were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programs used his codas to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000.

　　In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly World Wide Web consortium(协会), or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and labs are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can participate equally on the Web.“The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and work. It helps us understand the humanity of people”he says.
