Sometimes it can be difficult when you find the word is not included in most dictionaries.Lu Jialei, 14, from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, won the CCTV Chinese Character (汉字) Spelling Contest on Oct 18th, 2013. About 160 people competed. The host read a word to the contestant(选手), explained its meaning and gave sample sentences. The contestant was needed to write down the word. Winning the contest was a “surprise” to Lu. “I was not the smartest one,” she said. “But I paid attention to details.” To prepare for the contest, she and her teammates studied the Modern Chinese Dictionary for 10 days. There are more than 56,000 entries (词条) including characters, words and phrases in it. She also had a secret weapon(武器). She studied how Chinese characters were formed.“When others paid attention to the plot of a story, she looked at how writers use words and sentences to express themselves,” said Su Yunsheng, Lus Chinese teacher. Su is happy to see students like Lu find the beauty of Chinese language.“Besides using something Chinese and having Chinese traditional festivals, learning to write Chinese characters is also an important part of inheriting (传承) Chinese culture,” said Su.58.

In February, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In 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, encouraged 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 centre in Switzerland. There he developed some of the different systems that would later become 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. In 1990,while still at the science centre in Switzerland, he put them together to make the first Internet browser(浏览器).It could run on any computer and allowed people to create website to share their information with the rest of the world.Tim knew that the more people used the Web, the more useful it would be. He wasnt interested in money but knowledge, so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many people were interested and the growth of the 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 governments and organizations for his efforts. He is still not very 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.62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The address system was used to make web pages.B. The World Wide Web was created in Switzerland.C. The first web browser was very expensive to buy.D. Many people could use the Internet before 1990.63.
