21、阅读理解

Google is a company's name, but it has also grown into a verb that means, "to do an Internet search." Now everyone and their grandma know what it means to Google it. You know that you're doing something big when your company name becomes a verb.

Google wasn't the first company to invent their product. Lycos released their search engine in 1993. Yahoo! came out in 1994. AltaVista began serving results in 1995. Google did not come out until 1998. That is a major head start in the fast moving world of tech. So how did Google overtake（超过）their competitors who had such huge leads in time and money? Maybe one good idea made all the difference.

There are millions of sites on the Internet. How does a search engine know which ones are relevant to your search? This is a question that great minds have been working on for decades. To understand how Google changed the game, you need to know how search engines worked in 1998. Back then most websites looked at the words in your query（查询）.They counted how many times those words appeared on each page. Then they might return pages where the words in your query appeared the most. This system did not work well and people often had to click through pages of results to find what they wanted.

Google was the first search engine that began considering links. Links are those blue underlined words that take you to other pages when you click on them. Larry Page, cofounder of Google, believed that meaningful data could be drawn from how those links connect. He was right. Google's search results were much better than their rivals'（对手）.They would soon become the world's most used search engine.

It wasn't just the great search results that led to Google becoming so well liked. It also had to do with the way that they presented their product. The home pages of most other search engines were filled with all kinds of things. But Google's homepage was, and still is, clean. There's nothing on it but the logo, the search box, and a few links. In fact, when they were first testing it, users would wait at the home page and not do anything. When asked why, they said that they were "waiting for the rest of the page to load". But the fresh design grew on people once they got used to it.

These days Google has its hands in everything from self-driving cars to helping humans live longer. Though they have many other popular products, they will always be best known for their search engine. Not only is Google search engine a fantastic product, it is a standing example that one good idea（and a lot of hard work）can change the world.

【3】What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

23、Life has changed quickly since COVID-19 broke out worldwide. Many people find themselves isolated（隔绝的）at home, bored and lonely. But if we look at history, we see many great people produced their best work when they were alone.

Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and James Clerk Maxwell, three of the greatest physicists in history, worked by themselves most of the time. They learned from others not by working with them directly, but by reading their papers and books. Here is another example.

After finding himself without a steady（固定）job, but lots of spare time. Shakespeare began writing. He wrote King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra before the year was over.

Coming back to the present, do you know “the Reader in Fang Cang”? The picture of him reading in bed in the newly-built makeshift（临时）hospital in Wuhan really touched people. “When you feel worried and sad, reading is a way to help you feel relaxed and comfortable. This picture of him reading in bed gives me courage and hope.” said one Weibo user.

24、   A habit is an action that we have acted so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are not good habits. People spend many hours and dollars each year trying to give up ( 放 弃 ) these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to get it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.

First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure(压力), what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!

Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do something that is more important.

【1】From the first paragraph, we know that .

A.people always fail to break bad habits B.we must change all the habits we have

C.a habit is a terrible thing we can never change D.we can easily change bad habits

A.something dangerous may happen B.there is a long way and a short way
