Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began
as （介词，作为……）a calculating machine （计算机器）in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as
（介词，作为……） an analytical machine（分析机） by Charles Babbage.
After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes（穿孔卡）, I could think logically and
produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my artificial intelligence.
In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book
about how I could be made to work as a universal
machine to solve any difficult mathematical problem.
From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in
brainpower.
By the 1949s I had grown as large as a room, and I
wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this
reality also worried my designers. As time went by, I
was made smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.
Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything (that)I have been told! And my memory became so large that even
I couldn’t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in early 1960s they
gave me a family connected by a network.
I was able to share my knowledge with others
through the World Wide Web（万维网）. Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and（have been） used to make mobile phones as well as(=and) help with medical operations.
