12、me and saw my cousin who was studying English linguistics in a college. He showed me his learning materials. Here are two pages of it. NiceGenerally speaking, the word “nice” is quite an expression of praise(赞扬). However, back in the late 12th century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far fro

13、m saying good words about you. Very long ago, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. That sounds more like the kind of words that would start a fight, not put a smile on someones face. Later on in the 13th century, “nice” came to mean “shy and nervous”. During the 14th century, it even mean

14、t “being careful.” But finally in the 18th century, it changed to the kinder meaning we know today, and ever since then, people have been using it in a lovable way.SadAll of us get sad from time to time.

15、e store is out of our favorite drink. These are all things that can make us sad.However, once upon a time, “sad” have a very different meaning. Back in the 14th century, it was the perfect word if you had eaten too much food at dinner. Through the years, the meaning of “sad” changed to “heavy” and t

16、hen “tired”.

In February, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison(入狱). In

20、 October, East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990, the World Wide Web was born. For this final event, we have one man to thank, Tim Berners Lee, the father of the Web.Berners Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. His parents, both computer designers, encour

21、aged him to think and work creatively as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science. After graduating from Oxford University, Tim went to work at a science research center in Switzerland. There he developed some of the different systems that would

22、 later became the Web. The first was HTML, the computer language used to make web pages. The second was an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information.

24、anyone who was interested, many people were interested and the growth of Internet began. Today, Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from the government and organizations for his efforts. He is still not very

25、 interested in money. That is why he is so admired by his students and workmates. It may also be one of the reasons that few people outside the world of technology know his name.24.

The next year, Peter didnt come. He did come the year after that, though. Even though she didnt want to, Wendy grew up. She be

32、came very busy at school. She made new friends. As the years passed, her memories of Neverland grew dim. She started to doubt if she had ever been there. That was about the time that she became an adult. She met a nice one and got married. Then one day she had a baby girl. She named her Jane.One war
