cool." You may think the famous film star Keanu Reeves is cool. You can also use the word to mean

then take that information and arrange it for someone to look at. If you look for "animals", the engine will

     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

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

     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.
