The Internet has been around for many years, but it was the invention of the World Wide Web that made it really useful to people. Together, the Internet and the World Wide Web have changed the world.
因特网已经存在许多年了，但是是万维网的发明使因特网对人们真正有用。因特网和万维网一起改变了世界。
The Internet was invented by the US government in the 1960s, for the army to use. In the 1970s,scientists and businesspeople also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years,people could only send very simple texts. They could not send photos or documents by the Internet.
因特网是在20世纪60年代由美国政府发明的，用于军队使用。在20世纪70年代，科学家们和商人们也想用因特网发送和接收信息。多年来，人们只能发送很简单的文本。他们不能通过因特网发送照片和文件。
That changed in 1991,when a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web allows people to send various types of files,such as texts, photos and videos by the Internet, so more and more people started to use it in the 1990s.
当一位叫蒂姆·伯纳斯-李的英国科学家发明了万维网时，那种情况在1991年改变了。万维网允许人们通过因特网发送各种类型的文件，例如文本、照片和视频。因此在20世纪90年代越来越多的人开始使用因特网。
Today,the Web has hundreds of millions of users.It has changed the way people live,work and play. Through the Internet,email allows us to communicate nearly instantly with people thousands of miles away. People and businesses use e-commerce and online shopping to buy and sell things across the world. The Web also makes people's lives easier because now many things can be done from home,twenty-four hours a day. The Web can help you do research for your homework,so that you do not need to go to the library. You can use Internet banking, instead of going to the bank. And, of course,people just "surf the Web" when they want to relax.
如今，万维网拥有数亿的使用者。它已经改变了人们生活、工作和娱乐的方式。通过因特网，电子邮件允许我们和数千英里之外的人们几乎即刻交流。人们和企业使用电子商务和在线购物在世界各地购买和销售物品。万维网也使人们的生活更容易，因为现在许多事情能在家里，一天24小时来做。万维网能帮你为家庭作业做调查，以便你不需要去图书馆。你可以使用网络银行代替去银行。当然，当人们想要放松时，他们只是“上网冲浪”。
Technology changes quickly, and it is hard to imagine what the future of the Internet and the Web will be. But it seems impossible to imagine life without them.
技术改变得很快，难以想象因特网和万维网的将来会是什么样子。但是似乎难以想象没有它们的生活。

E-books
电子书
Just as email has changed the way we write to each other,e-books are changing the way we read. We can easily download new e-books from the Internet. It is much easier and quicker to search for passages now,and we can also write notes in an e-book. What is more, they save a lot of paper. But e-book readers are still more expensive than paper books, so not all people can afford them. However,with the rapid development of electronic technology, reading e-books will become cheaper and cheaper. A lot of people think there will be more e-books than paper books in the near future.
正如电子邮件已经改变了我们相互写信的方式一样，电子书正在改变我们阅读的方式。我们可以很容易地从因特网上下载新的电子书。现在搜寻文章更容易更快，而且我们能在电子书上做笔记。此外，它们节约了大量的纸。但是电子阅读器仍然比纸书昂贵得多，所以不是所有的人都能买得起它们。然而，随着电子技术的飞速发展，阅读电子书将变得越来越便宜。许多人认为在不久的将来，与纸书相比将会有更多的电子书。
