Fraser Island

Fraser Island is in Queensland，Australia，about 200 kilometers north of

Brisbane.It is about 120 kilometers long and 24kilometers wide.It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand.In fact，it is the largest sand island

in the world.There is no airport on the island，but there is a long beach along the

east coast.Planes arrive and leave from here.

The sand makes unusual shapes.There are hills made of sand called sand

blows.Nothing grows on them.They move one or two meters a year from the northwest

towards the southeast of the island，getting bigger and bigger.At other places on the island，such as Rainbow Gorge，The Cathedrals and Red Canyon，the sandy rocks have different colors.Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown，like coffee.

Surprisingly，the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals.There

are dark forests—eucalyptus woods，beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes.There are many kinds of birds，like owls and curlews.There are many animals there，too，such as crocodiles，flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.About 500，000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature.People enjoy camping and hiking(徒步)there.Unluckily，the visitors create problems.They damage plants and frighten animals.Their sun cream(防晒霜)makes the water dirty.So it is necessary to

manage the visitors.For example，people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the

lakes，and they need official papers to drive there.

“How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?’

How l ong 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 Brim. 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 a nd gave many websites that weren’t useful. In January 1996, Page and Brim 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. The company’s name is Google, a word which comes fr om 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.
