Drunk driving has become a serious problem not only in China but also in other countries. In America, a local organization is taking action to stop it. Now, it is looking for 50 musicians and performers to make a series of CDs named Kids Saving Kids.

If your music is chosen, it will be nationally promoted(提升) and sold on the market. Thousands of music fans around the world will hear it. You don’t need to pay for all this. It is a chance for young performers to use their songs to save lives. People can get the music on the Internet for free. When they visit the website, they will see information about drunk driving. This will make people pay more attention to the great danger of drunk driving. The information is made by students from all over America. This project is the first of its kind.

“It’s a good idea to use music to save other children’s lives. Drunk driving influences everyone. I hope you will join me in this fight. Together we can all make a difference,” said one of the organizers.

“How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?”

How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago? And now! you can google it and find the answer immediately!

Google is the most popular Internet search engine(引擎) in the world. It was invented by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1993, when they were studying computer science at Stanford University, USA. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.

Internet search engines at that time were slow and gave many websites that weren’t useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites.

Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their own money. They also borrowed money from their families and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $100,000, and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend’s garage. The company’s name is Google, a word which comes from mathematics. A “google” is a very high number ---1 followed by a hundred zeros.

The Google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and correct. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service, from sport to science, and from music to medicine. Google hopes that in the future all the world’s information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything.
