Google is a powerful tool for users of the electronic communications system called the Internet. Computer users connecting to the Internet can use Google to search for any word, name or idea. Google finds e1ectronic documents, or web pages, world news, information - almost anything. More than eighty- million people use the Google web page each month.
Two young men, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, started Google in l998. At that time,
they were students at
Google was not the first Internet search engine. But people found it easy to use. Today, Google performs two-hundred-million searches every day. It can search more than four-hundred-million web pages at one time. Yet each search takes less than one second. Google has even become an action word: to "Google" means to search for information on the Internet.
The search service that Google offers is free. But Google also provides links to web pages of companies that sell goods and services. Companies pay Google every time someone uses it to connect with their web pages. The amount a company pays depends on its size.
Google's business has grown very quickly. The company made almost 10,000,000 dollars in 2003. Its profit was more than 1,000,000 dollars.
Late last month, GoogIe announced that it wanted to become a public company. This means that GoogIe will sell its ownership shares to the public. The company hopes to raise about 2,700,000 dollars this way. But it .has not said how many shares it would sell. It also has not set a price for the shares or the date when they would be sold.
Some business experts have criticized Google for not releasing enough information about the company before the sale. But there is no question that investors are interested in the company 's shares.
People who may gain the most from the sale are Mr. Brin and Mr. Page. Each man owns l5% of the company. After the sale, they could both be worth several thousand million dollars.
56. What is Google?

59. What would be the best title for this passage?

Pills help forget bad memories
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence (暴力) and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physica1 and emotional hurt. Often they again and again experience these experiences in their terrible dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill (藥丸), which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly remove, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug
on people in the
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pi1ls that prevent or treat soldiers' terrible memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin(毀壞) people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman. A professor of psychiatry(精神病學) at Harvard Medical School. "This could learn a lot from that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our characters. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time, which makes us who we are. I 'm not sure we 'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (倫理學家).

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.
They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It it one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry at their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble, it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control. If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
72. This article is particularly written for __________.
A. parents B. both parents and their children
C. young people D. teachers
73. According to the text, young people tend to ___________.
A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything
B. do things without thinking carefully ahead
C. be very strict with themselves
D. think in the same way as their parents do
74. Older people tend to _________.
A. remember how they themselves felt when they were young
B. act on the spot without thinking very carefully
C. plan things before they act
D. ask for advice from others
75. According to the passage, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because they_________ .
A. don’t feel they belong to the world of the older people
B. do not want to get into trouble
C. feel they are cleverer than the older people
D. want to show they have grown up
