    Each year,many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view,less academic (學(xué)業(yè)) competition or family honor. But life can be hard for young people there. At first,they have to face the culture differences and language problems. However,these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克月艮) .To most children,controlling (管理) themselves well is a big challenge when studying alone in a strange country.

   Yu Yang,a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto,Canada. To his surprise,his teachers there seldom push students to study hard. And usually there isn't too much homework. Students have lots of free time to do some activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year's money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money.

   On the one hand,studying abroad can help students learn foreign languages quickly and open up their eyes,but on the other hand,some children may feel lonely,become bad,lose themselves,etc. Many problems may happen to them. These are different from their original thoughts. So parents should think them over before their children go abroad.

   1990 was a significant year in world events. 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 Center 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 center in Switzerland,he put them together to make the first Internet browser. It could run on any computer and allowed people 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 wasn5t interested in money but knowledge,so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many 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.
