Peter was an inventor. His job was to invent new things, and he worked when he had an idea.
His workroom was in his house, so he could work whenever he wanted to. Sometimes he worked seven
days a week and sometimes he didn’t work for days. He did all his work right at home, but he
left the house to go to meetings sometimes.
Peter usually got up at about five o’ clock. He made some tea and started to work at six.
He drank tea all day--he couldn’t work without it--but he didn’t eat anything until in the
evening.
First, Peter cleaned the workroom and turned on the answer-phone because he couldn’t talk
to people when he had an idea. Then he started to work. He usually had a rest after two or three
hours, but he didn’t leave the workroom. He did something different to help him relax. Sometimes
he did some exercise, and sometimes he listened to music. He usually stopped working at about
nine o’ clock in the evening. He thought about his work most of the time, even when he was out.
He was interested in what was around him and he liked looking for new ideas and new problems
to solve.

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know about the history
of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that
time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(网络) didn’t work well. If one
computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system(系
统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part
of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the
computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities,
hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the
Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier
to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every
day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’ s life.
