Test 2, Reading:
Part One (reading comprehension)
Read the text and choose the best answer (A-D) for each question (1- 4).

Tim Berners-Lee looks ordinary - he is about 45 years old and has brown hair. His life is quite normal - he was born in England, but his home is now in Massachusetts, USA. But, in 1989, Tim had a very important idea. He invented the World Wide Web.

Tim went to school in London. His parents both worked with computers, so it isn’t surprising that he loved computers from an early age. When he was eighteen, he left school and went to Oxford University, where he studied physics. At Oxford he became more and more interested in computers, and he made his first computer from an old television. He graduated in 1976 and got a job with a computer company in Dorset, England.

In 1989, he went to work in Switzerland, where he first had the idea of an international information network linked by computer … and he decided to call it the World Wide Web.
In 1994, he went to live in the United States, where he now works. In 1995, he wrote an article in the New York Times where he said ‘The Web is a universe of information: it is for everyone.’ His idea of a web, where people from all over the world can exchange information, is now real.
