　　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 in the world. It was invented by two students, 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 many websites weren't so 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 family 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（車庫）. The company 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.

　　What do you do if you're stranded(處于困境的) on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
　　Body signals
　　Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
　　Smoke signals
　　The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
　　Ground-to-air signals
　　It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols. If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
　　F "I need food and water."
　　II "I need medicine."
　　I "I am badly hurt."
　　X "I am unable to move from here."
　　Pilots' replies
