   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 gave many websites that weren't 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 (支票) 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 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.

One day after school, I went to the teachers’ office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words“FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION” at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.

After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, history. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my history book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously. On the day of the history exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamed of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. “My history teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise,” I thought. When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the exam, I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year’s exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn’t read the date. This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest. From then on, I worked harder than ever before.

      In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks, unlike in China, Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks.    61      People will cut most food before meals. If you need to cut food during meals, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork.

           62      People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks. If you are left-handed , keep the spoon in your left hand and the fork in your right hand.

      People in Thailand like eating rice. The rice is not on the same plate with other food. Each person eats rice on his own plate. It’s not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food.   63   If you eat up all the food on your plate, it means you want more.

        64    Because the host will ask you two or three times if you want more food. It’s the same as drinks. During the meal, never empty your cup or glass. When it’s less than half full, your host or your neighbor will fill it again.     65    It’s polite to fill the glasses for your neighbors. That means you must keep an eye on your neighbor’s glass during the meal.

Levi Anderson has a “superpower” that has brought him into the business world although he is only 11 years old.

The boy from Australia has dyslexia (阅读困难症), which makes reading difficult because the brain has trouble processing letters. And bullies (霸凌者) used to make his life at school even harder.

But now, Anderson is the boss of his own business. He sells “reading rulers” on his online shop. The reading ruler is a reading tool that really helps him out. The colored rulers can make letters stand out clearly to help people with dyslexia read. “It helped me understand sentences and follow along,” he told Kids News. “I want to sell them because I want to help other kids who are just like me.”

With the help of his mom, Anderson placed his first order for 25 packs of rulers in 2020. There are eight rulers of different colors in a pack, so kids with dyslexia can experiment to find a suitable color for themselves. Up to now, his shop has made  about 7,500 Australian dollars (about 35,800 yuan).

His business success caught the attention of financial expert Scott Pape. He picked out Anderson’s story in his new book. “I am just so impressed with Anderson and what he’s been able to do,” Pape said. “I want kids to read his story and say ‘That could be me. I could do that’.”
