First, go through the words quickly and make sure you know the meanings of them. If you are not sure, you can ask for help. Are you clear?‎ S: What does “crash” mean?‎ T: When it is used as a noun, it means a car accident.

Next we will do listening practice.‎ Step Ⅳ Listening and Vocabulary ‎ First, ask the students to scan the three activities in the LISTENING AND VOCABULARY so that they can know what they are going to do, and try to get ready to catch the key words or key sentences when they are listening. Second, ask the ‎ students to fill in the box. Third, check the answers. ‎ T: Today we will listen to a TV interview. Please open your books and turn to Page 54. Now please listen to the tape for the first time and do Activity 1.‎ Play the tape for the students.‎ Five minutes later, check the answers.‎ ‎... ‎ T: You are quite right.

Fantastic information is good to the students. Look for interesting and useful information instead of the terrible sites.‎ Tom,‎ a student A good place to study.‎ Study both at school and home. Use the Internet about five hours a day. Studying on the Internet is different from at school.‎ Pat,‎ Tom’s mother Studying is the most important thing. She wants Tom to only study from books and enjoy himself.‎ Tom likes music sites. He spends much time reading about football. Tom doesn’t always study. Studying from the books is more important.‎ Now let’s look at Activity 3 and discuss in pairs about the questions.‎ Five minutes later, collect the answers.‎ T: What does “concentrate on” mean? ‎ S: It means focus on or pay attention to.‎ T: Good. What are the good things about the Internet?‎ S: I can look for useful information on the fantastic websites.‎ S: I can enjoy myself on the Internet. ‎ T: Do you think it is fantastic?

However, we should make good use of the useful websites. If not, our study will be affected. Besides, long time staying before the computers does harm to our eyes.‎ Step Ⅴ Pronunciation T: So much for the listening. Next, we will listen to a dialogue. It is a simple extract from the TV interview we listened just now. Please listen to the tape, and pay attention to the stressed words. You had better underline these words in the dialogue.‎ One minute later, check the answers.‎ T: Can you tell me what words should be stressed?‎ S: I think noun, verb, adverb and adjective should be stressed in a sentence. So “use”,‎ ‎ “Internet”, “Everyday”, “school”, “home” and “spend” in the dialogue should be stressed.‎ T: You are quite right. All these words are stressed words. Do you have any different opinions?‎ S: I think some important information in the context should be stressed. In my opinion, “as much time as”, “can”, “five hours”, “Five hours a week”, “No” and “Five hours a day” should be stressed.‎ T: Terrific! Thank you for your answers.

Divide the students into two groups and have a word contest to see which group can make more derivatives by adding prefixes and suffixes. ‎ T: Last class I asked you to make a list of compound words by adding prefixes or ‎ suffixes. Now I will divide you into two groups to have a word contest to see which group can write more words. Are you clear?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ T: The left four lines is Group 1 and the rest lines, Group 2. ‎ Sample answers:‎ ‎ GROUP 1 ‎ practical national musical restart reread trainee actor actress writer helpless dreadful explanation encouragement development production ‎ GROUP 2 ‎ discover useless disable disappointing dismiss trainer rewritten reddish unexpected successful rebuilt illegal useless remove introduction friendship ‎ sunny friendly T: Time is up. Let’s look how many words you have written. Group 1 has got 15 words while Group 2 has got 18 words. Group 2 has won the game. Let’s congratulate them. You have done a wonderful job. Please look at the screen, I will show you more words.‎ Show the following.‎ ‎1. bookstore outlook daybreak ‎ horthand toothpaste outpour ‎2. noise-killing good-looking sleeping-pills ‎ warm-hearted cold-blooded easy-going ‎3. computer center search engine coffee cup ‎ reading room washing machine swimming pool T: What characteristics do these words have?‎ S: They are all formed by two words, but in different ways. They are quite different from the words we went over just now.‎ S: There is no prefix or suffix.‎ S: The two words are joined together in different ways, some have “-” in between, some haven’t and some only put two words together.‎ T: Yeah! You are quite right.‎ Step Ⅱ Grammar 1 ‎ The purpose of this part is to provide the students with different forms of compound words. Try to teach the students how to guess the meanings of the words by using word formation. At last, they need to finish some exercises.‎ T: All these words belong to compound words. That is the main grammar we will learn today. They are the basic types of compound words.‎ S: Sorry, can you explain what “compound” mean?‎ T: Compounding is also an important means by which you may deduce the meanings of unfamiliar words. When two words are joined together to make a new one, the word formed in this way is called a compound word. The forming process is described as compounding. Are you clear?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ T: If you happen to know the meaning of each word making up the compound words, you will be able to guess the meanings of the compound words. For example, sun-up and firefighter. Could you tell me the meanings of these two words?‎ Write the two words on the blackboard. ‎ S: Sun-up means sunrise.‎ S: Fire-fighter means person who fights fire.‎ T: Well done. But do you know some compound words may have special meanings, quite different from the meaning simply added together. Can you guess the meaning of “greenhouse”?‎ S: No.‎ T: OK. It means a building used for growing plants that need protection, not houses ‎ painted green. Now I will give you more information. Compound words are subdivided into compound nouns, com-pound adjectives, compound verbs and compound adverbs. ‎ Show the following to the students.‎ SCREEN 1 Compound nouns Compound nouns may be written together or with a hyphen in between or simply two separate words.‎ (1) Without a hyphen: cowboy (cow+boy), rainstorm ‎(rain+storm), railroad (rail+road), slaughterhouse (slaughter+house), dryland (dry+land)‎ ‎(2) With a hyphen: cheek-bones, take-off, life-story (传记), water-level, get-together (联欢会)‎ ‎(3) Separate: dancing party, film star, price list，railroad station, news broadcast (新闻广播)‎ SCREEN 2 Compound adjectives ‎(1) Without a hyphen: overspeed (over+speed)，runaway (run+away ) (失去控制的)，widespread (wide+spread ) (广泛的)，heartfelt (heart+felt) (由衷的), outgoing (out + going ) (开朗的)‎ ‎(2) With a hyphen: good-looking, well-known, new-born, snow-white, Chinese-designed, do-it- yourself ‎(3) Separate: computer controlled，world famous SCREEN 3 ‎ Compound verbs uphold (up+hold ) (拥护), whitewash (white+wash) (粉刷)，overhear (over+hear )‎ ‎ (无意中听到)， air-condition (调节……的空气)，mass-produce (大量生产)‎ Compound adverbs beforehand (before+hand) (事先)，southwest (south+west ), upside-down (颠倒地)，above-ground, warm-heartedly T: OK. We have known a lot about compound words. Now let’s do some exercises. Please turn to Page 53, Activity 1.‎ One minute later, check the answers.‎ T: Next, let’s come to Activity 2.‎ Two minutes later, check the answers.‎ T: OK. So much for the exercises. Next, I will show you some more words, please try to guess the meanings of these words.‎ Show the following screen to the students.‎ SCREEN 4‎ ‎1.handball handbook daydreaming businessman shorthand pickpocket outbreak outpour downfall horseback roommate cookbook ‎2. coffee cup tooth brush computer study shopping list mobile phone First Aid Center student union refuge camp reading room tomato juice ‎3. go-between grown-up whereabout frequent flier decision making story teller waiting room double-dealer Sample answers:‎ ‎1. 手击球 手册 白日梦 商人 ‎ 速写 扒手 爆发 排放 ‎ 垮台 马背 舍友 烹饪手册 ‎2. 咖啡杯 牙刷 电脑学习 ‎ 购物单 移动电话 急救中心 ‎ 学生会 避难所 阅览室 ‎ 西红柿酱 ‎3. 媒人 成年人 行踪 ‎ ‎ 常坐飞机的人 决策 讲故事的人 ‎ 候车室 两面派 ‎ Step Ⅲ Grammar 2 ‎ The purpose of this part is to go over the usages of the articles. First, go over the usages of the Articles; second, explain the usages of the definite and zero articles; at last, do Activities 1-4 to consolidate the grammar.‎ T: So much for the compound words. Next we will learn another grammar — the definite article and zero article. Please turn to Page 55. Let’s look at Activity 1. Read through the words and tell me why we use “the” before these words?‎ One minute later, check their answers.‎ S: Because they are all unique.‎ T: Do you think this is necessary? Why? How can we know when to use the definite ‎ article and when to use the indefinite articles?‎ S: Yes, it is necessary. But I am not sure about the usages of articles.‎ T: What are articles? ‎ S: Articles contain “a”, “an” and “the”, which come before nouns to modify or describe them.‎ T: Very good. Do you know why we have to use articles in English? Do we use them in Chinese? ‎ Ss: We are not sure.‎ T: Articles do not exist in Chinese, or in a lot of other languages. Therefore, it is a bit difficult for Chinese to master the usages of the articles. Now I will explain the usages of articles to you. “The” is called the definite article because the noun it goes with refers to something specific. As in this sentence, “Put the book on the table in the dining room.” That means we put “not just any old book on any old table”, we’re talking about specific things — the book, the table and the dining room. The definite article is also used to point out something that is unique — like “the moon” or “the earth.” Indefinite articles don’t refer to a specific noun. I might use “a” in this sentence, “Please give me a pen”. It means any pen. “A” goes before a consonant while “an” goes before a vowel. Now that you know the usages of the articles, could you give me some examples?‎ S: So, we could go to “the grocery store” to buy “a bunch of carrots,” “a head of lettuce,” “a loaf of bread”and “a box of cereal.”‎ S: We might also buy “an apple,” “an apricot” and “an orange.”‎ T: Yes. You are quite right. Have you understood the usages of articles?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ T: If so, let’s come to Activity 2 on Page 55. First, you will be divided into several ‎ groups to discuss. And then write two or three examples in each category.‎ Three minutes later, collect the answers.‎ T: Why do we use zero article before these words?‎ S: Generally speaking, we don’t use articles before mass nouns, abstract nouns and plural nouns.‎ T: Very good. Now let’s come to Activities 3-4 on Pages 55-56.‎ Two minutes later, check their answers.‎ Step Ⅳ Summary ‎ T: OK. We still have a few minutes left. Now let’s go over what we have learnt today. In this class, we have learnt two important grammars. When we use them, we should pay attention to the following: ‎ a. Three types of compound words. ‎ Type 1. one word: ‎ earthworm, sightseeing, shorthand, earthquake, software, hardware, toothbrush,‎ Type 2. two words with “-”: ‎ hiding-place, break-through, snow-white, fast-printing, high-speed Type 3. two words: ‎ teaching building, mobile phone, woman doctor, computer study ‎ b. We should use the definite article to talk about specific things, countries such the USA, the UK etc.‎ c. We use zero article before material nouns, abstract nouns and plural nouns.‎ Step Ⅴ Homework ‎ ‎1. Exx. 1-3 on Page 97.‎ ‎2. Prepare SPEAKING AND READING on Page 57 and Reading on Page 99.‎ ‎3.

Greetings.‎ ‎2. Deal with Exx 1-3 on Page 97.‎ Step Ⅱ Lead-in ‎ In this part, lead in the lesson by using Activity 1 in SPEAKING AND READING on Page 57. ‎ T: Last class we learnt the grammar — compound words. Now I will show you some words, please tell what type of compounds they belong to and their Chinese meanings. ‎ Show the following on the screen:‎ credit card internal call international call mobile phone text massage video camera One minute later, check the answers.‎ ‎...‎ T：Very good. We can see all these words are made up of two words to express a thing that we use in our life. Today we will learn a passage about Mobile Phone Use in China.‎ Step Ⅲ Reading In this part there are two tasks: SPEAKING AND READING on Page 57 and exercises on Page 99. In order to finish the two tasks, the students need to do some discussions.‎ Task 1 SPEAKING AND READING ‎ T: Now, please turn to Page 57 and look at Activity 2. I would like you to read the passage and tell me what you can learn from the text. You had better finish the work within four minutes. You can discuss in pairs. Are you clear?‎ S: Yes. ‎ Four minutes later, collect their opinions.‎ T: Have you finished reading？‎ Ss: Yes.‎ T: What about your opinions? ‎ S: From the numbers we can see China has the most mobile users in the world because of a large population.‎ T: Very good. Anything else?‎ S: The mobile market is promising in China. And therefore, the technology of mobile phone needs improving in order to meet the needs of the consumers.‎ T: Do you have different opinions?‎ S: The mobile phone market in China is developing at a great speed.‎ S: Perhaps more and more high school students and university students are using the mobile phones, because they feel “cool” when using mobile phones. And it is an easy way to communicate with outside world.‎ T: Your conclusions may be true. As you have known, mobile phones are very important to us in our daily life. We can’t imagine what our life would be like without mobile phones. You have done a wonderful job. Next, we will come to Activity 3. I will give you five minutes to discuss the four questions and do a survey among your classmates. After the discussion, I will ask some of you to give a report to us.‎ Five minutes later, check the report.‎ A sample report:‎ ‎ More than one third of my classmates have mobile phones. They use them mainly to call their parents or friends when they need help. As calling by mobile phones cost a lot, they often send text messages.‎ Next, let the students do more discussions about the use of mobile phones by doing Activity 4. Divide the class into two groups. One group makes a list of advantages of the mobile phones, the other disadvantages. The task should be done in 5 minutes. Then ask the students to state their views.‎ T: OK. Now we will have a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of having a mobile phone. I will divide you into two groups. The four lines on the left discuss the advantages and the rest disadvantages. After your discussion, I will ask one of you to list the key points on the blackboard. Five minutes for the discussion.‎ Five minutes later, check the answers.‎ Sample answers:‎ Advantages Disadvantages Attitudes of the school Mobile phones make it possible for us to talk to anyone from anywhere.‎ Sometimes the use of mobiles is limited, though new functions are being added.‎ Phones are not allowed to use in the reading room, the classroom, during the meeting in case of disturbing others.‎ Modern phones are more than just phones.‎ Communicating by mobile phone costs a lot.‎ They are being used as cameras and radios and to send emails.‎ Radiation of the mobile phones does harm to people’s health.‎ Many new functions are being added to the phones.‎ In mountainous areas or the high buildings the signals are not good.‎ Task 2 Online Shopping (WORKBOOK: P99)‎ Next, deal with another passage on Page 99. It is about Online Shopping. After that, finish Exx. 8-10.‎ T: Now please turn to Page 99. I will give you five minutes to read through the text and match the questions 1-6 with the paragraphs A-F.‎ Five minutes later, check their answers.‎ Later deal with Exx. 9-10.‎ ‎...‎ T: Well done. Now I’d like you to read the passage again and tell me the main idea of the text.‎ Three minutes later, check the answer.‎ Sample answers:‎ The passage is mainly about Online Shopping. It tells us several things that we should think about when shopping online and measures to protect ourselves.‎ Step Ⅳ Summary ‎ T: In this class, we have learnt the wide use of the Internet and telecommunications in our daily life. They make our life easier than ever. Wherever we are, we can communicate with families and friends. We can’t imagine the life without mobile phones. Online shopping makes us free from the common shopping with baskets. Thus, we can make good use of our limited time and do more other things. However, ‎ we need to be careful when using credit cards. We should buy things from the companies that have secure page facilities. We should be cautious about the online deception. ‎ Step Ⅴ Homework ‎1.

Greetings. ‎ T: Good afternoon, class!‎ S: Good afternoon, Miss Liu!‎ ‎2. Have a dictation of the words in this module.‎ T: Before we learn the new class, I would like to have a dictation of the words in this module. Are you ready?‎ Ss: Yes.‎ Read out the words and after that collect their papers.‎ Step Ⅱ Everyday English ‎ In this part, let the students go over some words and expressions for shopping. Provide some situations and ask the students to make up dialogues and act them out.‎ T: Before we learn the writing, please turn to Page 58. Let’s look at Everyday English. First, read the words and expressions for shopping then decide what expressions shop assistants and customers usually use. After that, I will divide you into 4 groups to make up a dialogue by choosing one of the following situations. One group chooses one topic. ‎ S: Yes.‎ Show the situations on the screen:‎ Situation 1: Li Ming wants to buy a jacket. He has only 200 yuan. But he wants a jacket with bright color and good quality. The assistant gives him some advice.‎ Situation 2: Tom wants to buy a mobile phone. He doesn’t know much about mobile phones. The assistant recommends him some brands such as Bird, Panda, and Haire etc. At last Tom is talked into buying one he likes best. ‎ Five minutes later, let them act out their dialogues.‎ Sample dialogue 1:‎ L=Li Ming A=assistant A: Good morning! What can I do for you?‎ L: I’d like to buy a jacket.‎ A: There are quite a lot of fashionable jackets. Have a look at this one.‎ L: The color is too dark. I’d like one with bright color.‎ A: How about this one? It’s quite suitable for you.‎ L: But it is too expensive.‎ A: How would you like to pay?‎ L: In cash, but I only have 200 yuan.‎ A: I see. This one must be the very one. It only costs 150 yuan. The color is bright and it’s of good quality.‎ L: OK. I will take this one. ‎ A: Thank you for shopping here. See you again soon, I hope.‎ L: See you.‎ Sample dialogue 2: ‎ T=Tom A= assistant A: Good morning, sir. How can I help you?‎ T: I’d like to buy a mobile phone.‎ A: What kind are you looking for?‎ T: There are so many different brands. I don’t know which one to choose. Can you give me some advice?‎ A: Of course. Some mobile phones made in China are quite good, such as Bird, Panda and Haire.‎ T: Which one is better?‎ A: The brand “Panda” has a long history. The products are of good quality. And Bird and Haire are fast-developing brands. The products are well-designed.‎ T: I will take the Panda.‎ A: OK. Would you like me to wrap it up?‎ T: Yes.‎ A: Here you are. Thank you for shopping here.‎ T: Bye. ‎ Step Ⅲ Function ‎ This part is about the numbers and percentage. In Activity 1, the students need to fill in a box using the given information. In Activity 2, ask the students to write a short passage according to the information in Activity 1. ‎ T: Your performance is wonderful. Now let’s turn to Page 57, FUNCTION. First, I will ask some students to read the sentences in Activity 1. Please pay attention to the numbers and percentage. Who would like to have a try?‎ The students read the sentences loudly.‎ ‎...‎ T: You have done a good job. OK. Thank you. Let’s look at the box on Page 58. You can discuss in pairs and fill in it.‎ ‎...‎ Three minutes later, check their answers.‎ T: Well done. You have filled in the correct informa-tion. Now, let’s look at Activity 2. I will give you ten minutes to write the passage. After finishing, I would like some of you to read out your compositions to the class. ‎ ‎...‎ Ten minutes later, check their passages. ‎ A sample version: ‎ ‎ In Li Kang’s hometown education has grown rapidly. The town had a population of 2,500,000 in 1978. By 2003, the population has reached up to 3,800,000. It has increased by 52%. Compared with 450,000 in 1978, the number of school kids has increased by 90%, reaching as many as 855,000. Meanwhile, the number of the JH ‎ students has increased from 420,000 in 1978 to 790,000 in 2003. The percentage of increase is 88%. But the number of SH students has only increased by 70%, from 380,000 to 646,000 since 1978. Much to our joy, the number of in-service learners has increased by 128%. Now there are 180,000 in-service learners, compared to 79,000 in 1978. In a word, the education in his hometown has changed dramatically, which will promote the development of local economy in the future.‎ Step Ⅳ Writing (P56)‎ The students are asked to do the writing after class. After reading through the compositions, choose the best ones to the whole class. Show the following samples on the screen:‎ Sample 1：‎ ‎ I don’t agree with this opinion. To start with, we can only get some information, but not all of the information is what we need. There is lots of information on the Internet, so it takes us lots of time to search for a proper one. Besides, it is very important to have a teacher, who can give his / her lesson lively and with a clear aim. If we have problems, we can turn to him / her for help. On the Internet, we can only get information and pictures, but we can not get a person to discuss with. What’s more, in the class with a teacher we can also work on the problems together. That will do good to both our friendship and team spirits. ‎ ‎ Spending too much time playing computer games will push us into a pitch-fall of pleasure and affect our study. What is worse, logging on the Internet for a long time is bad for our health especially eyes and back. In my opinion, we need to search for the good websites and limit the online time.‎ Sample 2：‎ ‎ I don’t agree with the opinion. Though Internet makes our life interesting and colorful, it has negative effects on our life. First, if a student is addicted to the Internet and spends too much time playing computer games, it will affect his study.‎ ‎ Second, some information on the Internet is not suitable for children. So we should look for information on good and useful websites. Third, chatting with strangers by QQ, or MSN etc is a dangerous thing. Furthermore, staying a long time before screen will do harm to our health. In a word, we should be aware of online safety. ‎ Step Ⅴ Speaking and Writing (P101)‎ First, ask the students to work in pairs and discuss the questions in Ex. 17. After discussion they need to find out how they could improve computer facilities in their school in Ex. 18. For Ex. 19, the students need to read the passage and find out five things that need improving. If time is not enough, Ex. 20 will be done after class. ‎ T: Now I will give you several minutes to discuss the questions in Ex. 17.‎ Two minutes later, collect their answers.‎ T: How about the first question?‎ S: There are about 200 computers in our school.‎ T: Where are they? Is there a special computer room?‎ S: They are in the electronic library, in the office and students’ computer room.‎ T: How about next one?‎ S: The students and teachers can use the computers.‎ T: No. 4. Who’d like to try?‎ S: We have CD-ROMs, printers, DVD drives, modems and scanners. ‎ T: What software is there in the library? ‎ S: We have 60,000 electronic books but there are not enough CD-ROMs of the text.‎ T: How many computers have Internet links?‎ S: All of the computers at school are linked. ‎ T: The facilities in our school are good in general. But how do you think we could improve computer facilities in our school? Can you give some concrete suggestions?‎ S: The students’ computer room should be provided with 40 new computers.‎ S: If possible, electronic library should be opened to the students every afternoon.‎ S: We need to have a computer in the classroom, which is good for both teachers and students.‎ S: Buy some CD-ROMs going with our textbooks.‎ Give the students five minutes to finish Ex. 19. ‎ Sample answers:‎ ‎1. They need more printers.‎ ‎2. They can’t access the Internet.‎ ‎3. There are no English CD-ROMS.‎ ‎4. Students can only use the IT room during classes with their teachers.‎ ‎5. There aren’t enough computers, so they have to wait a long time to use the Internet ‎ T: Next, do Ex. 20 on P102 after class.‎ A sample version: ‎ Computer Facilities in Our School ‎ In my school, we have a special IT computer room with 60 computers for the students, an electronic library with 40 computers and 4 multi-media classrooms. In the teachers’ office, every teacher is provided with a desktop computer, which is of great help to their work. All of the computers have Internet links. Each computer has a monitor, keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM and hard disk. The teachers share one printer ‎ and a scanner in the same office.‎ ‎ Though the school facilities are good, something still needs to be improved. First, the students can only use computers in the class. We need to supply more computers to the students. Second, the computer is too old to work. Therefore, it is necessary to buy more new ones. Furthermore, we can only use the electronic library at a given time. It would be better if we are allowed to use the computers every afternoon. If possible, I hope we can have a computer in each classroom, which will do good to both teachers and students.‎ Step Ⅵ Homework Task: Prepare a poster showing the uses of the Internet.‎ This task needs some out-of-class research. So it is best given at the end of the week so that the students can work on it over the weekends. After the students finish it, the teacher can have a poster exhibition in the class. Then choose the best ones to the students. ‎ Sample poster 1:‎ ‎ Nowadays the Internet is more and more popular. However, I prefer to study at a traditional school. First, the school provides a place where all the students spend most of their time together, so we can develop a long and lasting friendship. And the students will benefit from this precious friendship all their life. They will also learn from teachers and classmates and thus improve their social skills. These advantages of a traditional school are the disadvantages of the Internet. With nobody to have a face-to-face discussion, the students can easily get lonely, which may lead to unhealthy personalities.‎ Sample Poster 2:‎ ‎ Nowadays studying on the Internet is more and more popular. I think it is a good way of studying. First, the Internet enables people to study whenever and wherever.‎ ‎ People can also choose to study whatever they are interested in. However, a traditional school doesn’t provide such great freedom. the students have to study given subjects in a certain classroom. Even if they are not interested in what is taught, they have to stay there. Besides, due to the large number of students in a class, some students’ weak subjects can not attract the teachers’ attention. I love studying on the Internet. It brings me a lot of chances and freedom.‎ 附 件 ‎1. The World Wide Web ‎ ‎ The World Wide Web is part of the computer Internet system. A recent study shows that more than thirty million computer users link to the communications system called the Internet. The study shows that most of these people are using the World Wide Web.‎ ‎ Computers are linked with the Internet. The Internet is a communication system that permits millions of computers to send and receive information. The World Wide Web is an important part of the Internet system. People use the Web to search for news, products and educational information. They may also play games, buy books, records or other products or plan a holiday trip. These World Wide Web areas are called “Websites”.‎ ‎ Before the World Wide Web existed, information on the Internet was mostly written, now, the Web provides the same written information but also includes sound, color pictures, television pictures and movies.‎ ‎ In 1993, a computer could only link with 130 websites, and it was difficult to link a computer with a website. In I994, computer scientists made it easier. Today there are millions of websites. Many more are being added each day.‎ ‎ The World Wide Web Consortium is an inter-national group. It is headed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States; the National Institute for ‎ Research in Computer Science and Control in France and Keio University in Japan. The Consortium includes more than 275 smaller computer organizations. These groups work together to improve how information is offered on the Web.‎ ‎2. Tim Berners-lee and the World Wide Web ‎ Build the highway and watch the town grow. At first a few shops appear and maybe a restaurant. Then a hotel opens. Finally new houses are built. A village is born.‎ ‎ This is also how the virtual world has developed. Think of the Internet as the road carrying information between two computers. Think of the World Wide Web as the village. At first it is just a place on the virtual road where travelers meet. With more travelers coming along with new kinds of information, new villages start. ‎ ‎ Every village has a founder. Tim Berners-lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web. How did he get the idea? “One of the things computers were not able to do was store information from different sources. The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we communicate by sharing information.” he says.‎ ‎ Tim burners-Lee could have followed Microsoft route by forming a company to sell the programmes he invented. Or he could have joined an existing company. But in his view the Web is a language, not a product. Charging a fee for using his programmes would have slowed the growth of the Web. And other companies would make similar products to compete. Instead of one World Wide Web there would be several smaller Webs. Each would use incompatible (不相容的) software. The Web is valuable because it uses a common computer language to reach people and share information. Imagine if someone sent a bill every time when you spoke a world of English.‎ ‎ In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the World Wide Web Consortium or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C.‎ ‎ Together they make sure that everyone, no matter what their equipment or software is, can work equally on the Web. “The Web can help people understand the way that others live and love. It helps us understand the humanity of people.” He says.‎ ‎3. Sir Tim Berners-Lee ‎ ‎ Creating the World Wide Web didn’t make Tim Berners-Lee instantly rich or famous. In part, that’s because the Web sprang from relatively humble technologies. Berners-Lee’s invention was based on an information retrieval program called Enquire (named after a Victorian book, Enquire Within upon Everything), which he wrote in 1980 as a contract programmer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. In part, it’s because Berners-Lee did the unthinkable thing: more than a decade later, he finished writing the tools that defined the Web’s basic structure: he gave them away, with CERNs blessing, no strings attached. While others made millions off his invention, the soft-spoken programmer went on to found the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT, which he still directs, to promote global Web standards and development.‎ ‎ Berners-Lee is finally getting his reward: in July he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, and the previous month he received Finland’s million-euro Millennium Technology Prize, awarded “for out-standing technological achievements that directly promote people’s quality of life, are based on human values, and encourage sustainable economic development.”‎ ‎ Now in new offices in MIT’s Frank Gehry-designed Ray and Maria Stata Center, the 49-year-old native of England is busy overseeing hundreds of projects at the W3C. He is also personally engaged in developing his second big idea: the Semantic Web, which adds definition tags to information in Web pages and links them in such a way that computers can discover data more efficiently and form new associations between pieces of information, in effect creating a globally distributed database. Though part of Berners-Lees original intention is for his invention, the Semantic Web ‎ has been 15 years in the making and has met its share of skepticism. But Berners-Lee believes it will soon win acceptance, enabling computers to extract meaning from far-flung information as easily as today’s Internet which simply links individual documents.‎ ‎4. The History of the Internet ‎ ARPANET started by the US Dept. of Defense for research. It is the original basis for what now forms the Internet. It was opened to non-military users later in the 1970s. ‎ ‎ The first international connections to ARPANET are established. ‎ ‎ The TCP / IP Protocol established, and the “Internet” is formed as a connected set of networks using TCP / IP. ‎ ‎ DNS (Domain Name Server) introduced to the Internet, with then consisted of about 1000 hosts. ‎ ‎ World Wide Web, invented by Tim Berners-Lee who saw the need for a global information exchange that would allow physicists to collaborate on research. The Web started as a text-only interface, but NCSA Mosaic later presented a graphical interface for it. ‎ ‎ Web traffic over the Internet increased by ‎300,000%. Netscape 1.0 was written as an alternative browser to NCSA Mosaic. ‎ ‎ December JavaScript development announced by Netscape. ‎ ‎ Now Internet is still developing faster and faster...‎
