Tim Berners-Lee, who received one million euros ($1.2 million) cash for creating the World Wide Web, says he would never have succeeded if he had charged money for his inventions.“ If had tried to demand fees…there would be no World Wide Web,” Berners-Lee, 49, said on June 15 at a ceremony (仪式) for winning the first Millennium Technology Prize, awarded by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation. “There would be lots of small webs,” The prize committee agreed.
The Internet had existed for nearly 20 years when Mr Berners-Lee launched(推出) the world’s first website in August, 1991.But the Net was little more than a collection of computer connected with cables. It didn’t have a means(way) of sharing information between different kinds of computers running different kinds of software. Mr Berners-Lee found ways to connect documents and other information using hypertext links. The universal hypertext language he created allows all kinds of software to communicate with(与……交流) each other. His creation(创造) made a generation of youthful millionaires and millionaires, lit the spark(火花) for the New Economy and paved the way for(为…铺平道路) great new industries such as e-commerce.
The invention could have made him unbelievably wealthy(rich), even by Internet standards. But Berners-Lee’s never devoted to commercialize(使商业化)or patent(取得…专利) his contributions(贡献) to the Internet technologies he had developed. Berners—Lee, who is originally from Britain, has mostly avoided both the fame and the fortune won by many of his Internet colleagues. Despite his prize, he remained modest(谦虚的) about his achievements. “I was just taking lots of things that already exited and added a little bit,” said Berner—Who now runs the standard-setting World Wide Web Consortium from office at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“Building the Web, I didn’t do it all myself,” he said. “The really exciting thing about it is that it was done by lots and lots of people, connected with this great spirit.” Berners-Lee indeed took concept(观念)that were well known to engineers since the 1960s, but it was he who saw the value of marrying them. Pekka Tarjanne, chairman of the prize committee, said “no one doubts who the father of the World Wide Web is, except Berners-Lee himself.
1. Before the World Wide Web was invented, the Internet________.
A. was already in wide use. B. was used to share information
C. was of little practical use D. didn’t exist for long.
2. From the passage we can conclude that Tim Berners-Lee is________.
A modest(谦虚的)and unselfish(无私的) B. smart(聪明的and practical(实际的)
C .creative(有创造力的) and rich D. honest and kind
3. What made it possible for all kinds of computers using different software to communicate with each other?
A. a special kind of language Tim Berners-Lee created
B. a special kind of software Tim Berners-Lee created.
C. the World Wide Web
D. Tim Berners-Lee’s improvement on the Internet.
4. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that _________.
A. a lot of people doubt the invention of World Wide Web
