The Internet is a big place. Nobody has the time to look at every webpage to find something. Search 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.

The web is as long as two football fields.

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.
