Brain and I were a few years into relationship and I still hadn’t cooked for him. He was a skillful cook and the thought of preparing a meal for him made me feel worried. Finally, one day I decided that I would make dinner for him Saturday night. I bought an Italian cookbook.

Saturday afternoon I made the filling first. There was no problem. Next, I started with an egg in the well of some flour, and the mixture changed into a mound of dough (面团). I began to feel good about myself.

I glanced around the kitchen, looking for a rolling pin. My eyes lit on a bottle of wine I had bought to go with dinner. Not as good as a pin, but it would do. I rolled as best as I could, and then cut the dough with a kitchen.

Just as I was finishing, the doorbell rang. I put the tortellini I made into the fridge and greeted Brain. He had brought along a bottle of wine and a rose to celebrate the evening.

The pot of water began to boil. Brain watched as I pulled the tortellini out of the fridge, and his eyes opened widely. You made tortellini? he asked, By hand? I don’t even make that, and I have machines to do the job.

I dropped the tortellini into the boiling water, and soon they were ready. Everything looked perfect. We sat down, and I watched as Brain put one in his mouth and chewed (嚼). And chewed. And chewed.

Then I tried one. It was very thick. I knew it was all over. Brain would just taste the food, and then leave early with a headache and disappear into the night.

But he ate them, admitting that they were a little thick, but really not bad.

Thanks to Google, millions of Internet users are now swimming effortlessly in the information ocean. Internet users know that Google is a strong search engine that is designed to bring tons of information within their reach. Yet, people make the most of Google, says computer scientists Nancy Blachman.

Blachman was introduced to Google in April 1999; her interest grew after working there for a few months. Before long, she was a Google fan. As Blanchman studied the search engine, she became more and more skillful. Then, Jerry peek suggested she write a Google guidebook. The idea interested her, and she began developing the website (网页)，GoogleGuide.com. Since then, millions of people have used her website.

Blachman guides her online (在线) students through step-by-step lessons. Some lessons are for new Google users, but experienced users can also find lessons they need. One tip: if you aren’t sure whether a word has a hyphen (连字符), it is best to search with the hyphenthis way Google will look for the word with the hyphen, without the hyphen and written as two words. And another: users can ask Google not to do something by putting a hyphen before the word. For example, someone searching for Dallas cowboy, who does not want the football team, should enter Dallas cowboy-football.

Blachman says the website is her way of continuing teaching and helping people, which she says. From 1990 to 1997, she taught courses at Stanford about mathematical software (软件). She also has written several books. A lot of people see Google as easy to use, and it is easy to use, but I am trying to make it even easier.

47. The purpose of the passage is ______.

   A. to teach computer users how to develop a website

B. to teach computer users how to improve Google

C. to introduce one of the online dictionaries

D. to introduce Blachman and her website

48. What does Blachamn think about Google users in general?

   A. They don’t know how to make full use of Google

B. They don’t know how to swim in an information ocean.

C. They have to take computer lessons to use Google.

D. They have to become a fan to be skillful Google users.

49. If users are not sure whether the word they search for has a hyphen, they should enter _____.

   A. the word with a hyphen                   B. the word without a hyphen

C. two words rather than one                 D. the same word twice

50. Which of the following is TRUE if the passage about Blachman?

   A. She has been working to make Google easier to use.
