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 i 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 acquired (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.”
There are four million people with diabetes (糖尿病) in the UK—that’s one in every 16 people. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is less common and is not preventable. In the UK, 90% of diabetes are Type 2. It has something to do with weight gain and a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle, but there are other risk reasons. The good news is that around 80% of cases of Type 2 diabetes are preventable.
Are you at risk?
Type 2 diabetes can come on slowly. It may not be easy to find the signs. So it is important to understand the risk reasons. People with Type 2 diabetes can feel thirsty, tired and need to go to the toilet more often.
Tips on preventing Type 2
If you have Type 2 diabetes, it is very important to control your weight. If you are overweight, Type 2 diabetes can be avoided by reducing your weight.
Exercise is necessary for good health. It not only helps to keep a healthy weight, but can lower blood-sugar levels because it helps your body to use insulin (胰岛素) more effectively. To have high levels of everyday activities, including walking, housework, playing with children and hobbies—anything that gets you moving.
Also, a healthy diet will help you manage your weight. Vegetables and fruits are low in calories and are rich in vitamins, minerals (矿物质) and fiber (纤维). This is important for good digestion (消化) and slows down the sugars into the blood. However, some types of fruits are high in sugar, so getting most of your five-a-day from vegetables is better.
Whole grains are good for Type 2 diabetes because the husk (外壳) of the seed is kept. This is often the best part of the grain, with fiber and protein (蛋白). Protein is good for Type 2 diabetes. Fish, meats, eggs, nuts and many beans are rich in protein.
Foods high in both fat and sugar are very bad for your health and should be avoided. Water is the best because there aren’t any calories in it while many other drinks, such as soft drinks, energy drinks and milky coffees are really bad.
