29、ouncement of a new partnership with marketing software maker Salesforce. com. Google, the #1 search engine, seems to defy every Internet law of gravity. But one question arises with each subsequent record-high share price: is it possible for Google to get any bigger? According to Hitwise, for the fo

30、ur weeks ending June 2, 2007, Google accounted for 64. 8% of all executed searches in the U. S., triple that of its nearest competitor Yahoo! Search, which achieved 21. 7% of all searches in that same time period. Tech pundits have long theorized that there must be a saturation point for Googles rol

31、e in our quest to find information on the Internet. We just dont have a clue as to where that point may be. Weve pondered the possibility of slips in dominance with the release of a new competitive offering, but that hasnt happened. We wondered if integration of MSNs search offering with the new Vis

32、ta operating system would affect Googles share of search not really. Googles role in our Internet use has become ubiquitous. Google, in its transition from a noun to a verb, has become more than a tool to find information online, its quickly becoming the default tool to navigate the web, replacing t

33、he browser URL bar as the way to move from one website to the next. How do we know this? The secret to Googles primary use can be found in the top searches that people enter on the site. The #1 term, representing over 4% of all US searches on Google, is for the site that surpassed Google last summer

34、 to become the most popular domain on the Internet, “MySpace“. In fact 17 of the top 20 searches on Google are searches for the other leading Internet sites such as “ebay“, “yahoo“, and “mapquest“.

35、ar term: “Google“.(In case youre keeping count, the three most popular terms that are not websites are: porn, free porn and lyrics.) However, for all of its success, Googles online dominance has been limited to search. In web-based e-mail, for example, Googles service, Gmail, is in a distant fifth p

36、lace to leader Yahoo! Mail, which is over 12 times the size of Gmail in terms of visits. Google has barely made a peep in social networking: MySpace, the #1 social networking site, is over 300 times the size of Googles Orkut service. Even mainstream information such as Google Finance is an order of

37、magnitude smaller in visits than the industry leader in financial information Yahoo! Finance. Googles most promising growth strategy may be in acquiring industry leading sites versus building a homegrown solution. Take the October 2006 acquisition of YouTubeonly $1. 65 billion and youve instantly be

38、come the industry leader in online video sharing. The combined offering of YouTube and Google Video represents over 51 % of all multimedia visits in the US. With deep coffers and the expansion of its primary search business showing no signs of slowing, there really is no telling how big Google can b

39、ecome. In researching this column I tried googling the question, ironically the results werent of much help. 58 Which of the following statement is true? （ A） Googles share price doesnt have a highest point. （ B） Googles share price will keep going down after this year. （ C） Goolge, like all compani

40、es, has a satuation point in consumers quest. （ D） Pundits have so far decided where the satuation point is. 59 What does the word “ubiquitous“(Para. 2)mean? （ A） Omnipresent. （ B） Omnipotent. （ C） All the time. （ D） Universal. 60 Which of the following is Googles attribution? （ A） Google has become

41、 more than a tool to find information online and quickly became the default tool to navigate the web （ B） It has replaced the browser URL bar as the way to move from one website to the next （ C） The top searches that people enter on the site is included into Google searchbox （ D） It has become a ver

43、us election will take place in St. Louis on April 3rd. Seven candidates will compete for two seats on the citys school board. The polls will open at 6 am and stay open until 7 pm. Staffing the polling stations and counting the electronic ballots will cost taxpayers an estimated $130,000. Two happy c

44、andidates will celebrate and take officejust in time to have the state of Missouri complete the takeover of the districts schools and give them and the other board members nothing to do for several years. This election to nothing comes after years of falling test scores, revolving superintendents, s

45、creaming matches between board members at public meetings and a growing dissatisfaction with every aspect of public education. The state board of education voted on March 22nd to take over the school district, effective in mid-June. Some prominent figures endorsed this course, including the mayor of

46、 St. Louis, Francis Slay, and even some members of the St. Louis school board. Others in the city, though, are deeply opposed and ready to fight about it. Although the city schools overall have an amply deserved reputation for low standards, there are some good schools and many good students. The be

47、st students have the most to lose, fearing that the turmoil could damage their chances of getting into good universities. In mid-March a group of high-school pupils, backed by their superintendent, Diana Bourisaw, occupied Mr. Slays office for five days. When the state education board voted on the t

48、akeover, a group of angry students, teachers and other members of the public tried to disrupt the meeting. Protesters are still trying to use the courts to stop the action, and the teachers union has threatened a strike. Under Missouri law the citys schools will now be placed under a three-member bo

49、ard appointed by the governor, the mayor and the president of the board of aldermen. Governor Matt Blunts choice of Rick Sullivan, the head of a building firm, has already been attacked because of Mr. Sullivans lack of experience in education and because he lives in one of the wealthiest suburbs outside the city. Blacks say their political power has been diluted. Mr. Sullivan and the other members, who have yet to be appointed, have an almost i
