many different meanings. We can use "cool" when we talk about something wonderful or somebody
looking smart. For example, when you see a beautiful and expensive car in the street, you can say, "It is
cool." You may think the famous film star Keanu Reeves is cool. You can also use the word to mean
something new and surprising. Here is an example. One day a teacher took the students to a farm and
then asked them to write something about the visit. One of her students just wrote,"The farm is so cool."
Because he thought "cool" was the best word to show what he saw and felt. It also shows some people
don"t have enough words. Without "cool", they seem to have no other words to use. Can you think of any
other words 1ike"cool"with so many meanings? If you can they are also very "cool".

engines (搜索引擎) like Yahoo give us a lot of help.
Two Stanford University students, David Filo and Jerry Yang started it in 1994. They made a list of
their favorite webpages. When their list got bigger, they made a database (数据库) to keep all the
information. They let everyone use it for free. Soon, thousands of people were using it.
They then made a new kind of software (软件). It looked at web pages all over the Internet. It could
then take that information and arrange it for someone to look at. If you look for "animals", the engine will
give you a list of web pages with those words.
Yahoo became a public (公共的,公开的) company in 1996. Filo and Yang, still young men, became
rich. As the company grew, they went on working hard. They improved the software. They also put
more uses in, like shopping, free E-mail, booking tickets and so on. They started Yahoo in many different
countries and languages.

wouldn"t have a problem. People found a very big spider"s web (蜘蛛网) in the state park there. The web is
as long as two football fields. It covers trees, shrubs (灌木丛) and has caught millions of mosquitoes.
"At first it was so white it looked like fairyland (童话世界)," said Donna Garde, who works in the
park.
"Now it"s filled with so many mosquitoes that it"s turned a little brown. Sometimes you can hear
the screech (尖叫声) of millions of mosquitoes caught in the web."
Scientists are trying to find out what kind of spider has spun the web and why it"s so big. Some
think a group of spiders work together on the web.
Whatever it is, the web is surely better than bug spray (***虫剂).

When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What"s the best
way to know it?
You may look it up in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the
pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word
is thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?
First, all the English words are arranged (安排) in the letter order. In the dictionary you can first see
the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D…. That means, if there are two words "desert" and "pull",
"desert" will be certainly before "pull". Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter,
you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth… For example, "pardon" is before"plough",
"judge" before "just", etc.
Do you understand how to look up in the dictionary?
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you"ll use it as often as possible in your English study.
