Home Again

Niki saw the sign first. It said “Welcome to Layton”. “We’re here!” Niki said.

“Yes,” answered Mum “Now I’ll show you where i grew up.”

Mum turned right. “This is Hill Street. Let’s find my old house.” She stopped the car in front of a red house. “Oh, Dear! It’s so different now,” Mum said sadly “Let’s see how Main Street looks.”

As the car moved up Main Street, Niki asked, “Is Main Street the way you remember it?”

“No,” Mum sighed. But then she smiled. “Look! The Layton Diner is still here! Let’s go in and get some lunch.”

Niki and Mum walked into the diner. Mum looked around and laughed. “It hasn’t changed a bit. Just like the old days!”

Just then, a woman with white hair sat at the next table. The waitress said something and the woman laughed. Niki saw Mum s eyes grow wide. “What is it, Mum?” she asked.

“That laugh,” Mum said softly. “I remember that laugh.” She turned around and looked at the woman. “I don’t know who that woman could be,” she said.

Niki looked past Mum and smiled at the woman. The woman smiled back kindly at Niki. Then the woman stood up and walked over. She looked closely at Mum’s face before she spoke. “Margaret, it’s so nice to see you after all these years.”

“You are…” Mum was a little puzzled.

“I’m Mrs. Blade,” the woman said. “Your third-grade teacher.”

Mum jumped up and hugged her. “I didn’t know who you were.”

Mrs. Blade laughed. “I didn’t know who you were either, Margaret,” she said. “But your daughter looks just like you did in third grade. And I never forget a student’s face.”

Ray Tomlinson was born in New York State. He sent the world’s f 【1】 email and let us have the use of the @ symbol in electronic communications. Tomlinson wrote a program in 1971 that a 2 messages to be exchanged between different computers. Before that time, electronic messages had only been exchanged between people using the s 3 main unit.

At the time of his invention, Tomlinson was researching possible uses for the ArpaNet—the US military (军方) network that formed the base of the Internet, and showed an i 4 in improving the use of ArpaNet’s “mailbox(邮箱)”, which made users send messages to the mailboxes possible. In the past, people had to print out the message and p 5 it in the mailbox. This achievement made a great difference in people’s life.

Tomlinson also came up with the ideai 6 of using the “@” symbol to separate the name of the receiver from the name of the host, creating the standard still used today. Although it had a history of o 7 forty years, Tomlinson said email had not changed much since its invention.

Tomlinson studied electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic and t 8 got his masters (硕士学位) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined a company called Bolt, Beranek, and Newman in 1967, and stayed there the r 9 of his life. He died at the age of 74. The company was later aquired (收购) by Raytheon.

“A true technology pioneer and his work changed the w 【10 the world communicates.” Ratheon said. “It is with great sadness we know the passing of our friend.”
