In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except Graduation (毕业) Day. Students plan Homecoming Day many weeks in advance.
Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate (装饰) the school. There are some signs to wish luck to the team, and other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come back to school twenty or thirty years after their graduation. The members of school clubs build booths and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers who taught them long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years at school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student the Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honour to be chosen.
Homecoming Day is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy homecoming. Some stay at school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?
How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 30 years ago? Now you can google it and find the answer immediately!
Two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin invented one of the most popular Internet search engines (搜索引擎) in the world. They met in 1995, when they were studying computer science at Stanford University, the USA. They dreamed of producing something that could answer any question within seconds. Internet search engines at that time were slow and provided many websites that weren’t useful. In 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 their family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a check for 100,000, and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend’s garage (车库). The company name comes from the word “googol”. A googol is a very big number—1 followed by a hundred zeros.The search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and correct. It soon became the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more and more questions have been answered by the search engine from sport to science, or from music to medicine. The company hopes that in the future all the world’s information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything.( ) 51.
