         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. 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.

         Are you itching (痒痒)? Do you have mosquito bites (蚊虫叮咬)? Well, if you lived in Texas, US, you
    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 (杀虫剂).
