Everybody Should Say Thank You to Ray Tomlinson
Why should you thank Ray Tomlinson? You might have never heard of his name before, but do you know that the email you use every day was his "child"?
Ray Tomlinson is known as "the father of email". He was born in New York in 1941. He attended college at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he took part in a program with IBM and in 1963 he received a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering.
In 1971, Ray created the first email system, which allowed people to send messages electronically from the same computer. But he thought that there might also be a way to send messages from different computers, which led to the birth of the email we know now. He chose the@ sign to separate(区别于)local from global(全球的) emails in the mailing address. "I used the '@' sign to show that the user was 'at' some other hosts (电脑主机)rather than being local," said Ray in an interview Person to person network email was born and user@ host became the standard for email addresses, as it remains today.
Ray Tomlinson died at the age of 74. Thank Ray Tomlinson for inventing the email and making the@sign well-known. Though he may not be as famous as Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates, Ray Tomlinson surely has his place among the geniuses(天才) that gave us the convenience in our life.
Welcome to the art museum
You've just stepped into one of the world's greatest collections of art, including centuries of human creativity from around the world. With thousands of works on show, you may wonder how to start your visit, but we are here to help. On the back of this Visitor Guide, you'll see the "don't miss" list for the Art Museum. It shows some must-see works. It is a great choice to start if you are new to the museum.
The following pages include a clear floor plan of the museum and its collections. But because we have five buildings, the overlook below might be helpful. Enjoy your visit and feel free to ask for help and directions at any point during your stay.
We can't remember(clear) since when we started to take our mobile phones to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once d come, we take out our mobile phones and take photos iof lifting our chopsticks. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, (wait) to be "liked”. Then we checked our mobile phones from time to time during the meal, to see w we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobile phones for simply a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?
A recent study (suggest) that what we are used to doing is not that good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant So, w not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food ahead of you?
Besides the (science)result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will be unable to control himself and check his mobile phone many times." Does everyone accept my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!" It seems like your mobile phone secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are w real people.
So, next time you go out to have dinner, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with others. Trust me, and it will be a (wonder) time.
While you are at the bookstore, you may be faced with a difficult decision: e-books or paper books? Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Making the best decision depends on a number of factor (因素).
An e-reader can carry a whole library wherever you go, which is great for travelers or those who always want a choice of reading material Although e-readers are convenient, high levels of screen brightness from an electronic device(电子设备) can cause eye problems. A study in the Information Science Research found that young people preferred e-readers, like smart phones or iPads. That's why most teenagers are short-sighted.
Many book lovers still prefer paper books and value the feeling of them. Paper books are very well designed, they look and smell good, and they carry with them a more human touch. Avid (热衷的)readers prefer reading on paper. Perhaps this is their choice because paper books give them a sense of ownership. It is reported that reading on paper rather than an electronic screen is better for memory and focus. But paper books are heavy and they are not convenient to carry.
Which is your decision, an e-book or a paper book?
(A)你知道吃早饭有多重要吗? A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.
According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more (B)calories in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they bum more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.
The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips are usually unhealthy and full of calories.
Another big benefit of eating breakfast is that(C)it makes teenagers do better at school. This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.
What's more, a study in the UK showed that adults who eat breakfast daily put on less weight and also perform better at work.
Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.
W: how heavy somebody/something is, which can be measured(测量,度量)in, for example, kilograms or pounds
