6 steps to being a smart searcher

Search has been around for more than 20 years and we see billions of queries every day. Today I’ve already used Search to check this Sunday’s Giants’ score against the Jets, look up lyrics to Coldplay’s new song, and find out when daylight savings starts next year. But with so much information online today, the fastest way to find exactly what you’re looking for isn’t always obvious.

In my 14 years at Google as a research scientist for Search, I’ve conducted several studies to understand how people collect, organize and understand large amounts of information when they search the web. I also teach online and in-person classes to equip people with useful techniques for navigating Search. And because I think it’s so important, I even wrote a book: “The Joy of Search: A Google Insider’s Guide to Going beyond the Basics.”

There are six simple steps that I teach my students—people of all ages—to help them quickly find the information they are searching for.

Do one more search

Often people come to Search, see the first results on the page, and assume that’s the right answer. But one simple search on a complex topic may not be enough to uncover the correct answer to your question. Conducting two or three searches offers a number of perspectives and credible sources for a well-rounded view on the subject.

Check the credibility of your sources

When you search on the web, make sure that the site you land on is the best source of information for what you’re looking for. Consider the primary purpose of the website and ask yourself: What are they trying to help me with? What is their goal in providing this information? Does the information on the website align with other credible sources? Another way to check the credibility of a website is to look at online forums or discussion boards to see what other people are saying about the website.

Don’t include the answer in your question

You might search for something when you already suspect the answer. But including that answer in the query may sway the search results toward what you think the answer is. For example, if you search for “do golden retrievers weigh 85 pounds,” you may find “85 pounds” baked into the webpages that result from your search. Instead search “weight of golden retrievers.” This will show you a variety of results. From there, you can narrow down the correct answer by applying the credible source technique above.

Start your search broadly, then narrow it down

Begin searching with broad and fairly general terms about your topic. Then you can narrow your search once you find the most relevant aspects of your search. For instance, if you search for “how many teachers are in NYC” you’ll get a lot of results, but they may not be quite what you’re looking for. Then, try narrowing down your search by being more specific. Instead look for “number of kindergarten teachers in Brooklyn public schools.”

Mix and match your key phrases

Sometimes you have to try a couple of different query phrases to focus in on the information you want. Keywords are the most important words in your idea or question—they tell the search engine what you’re seeking. Ask yourself what words will appear on the page that would have the perfect answer, or how someone else would write it. A helpful way to do this is by “parallel browsing” to find a range of information that help you get to the answer. That is, try different variations on your search in different browser tabs and compare the results side-by-side.

Explore other kinds of searchable content (Images, Videos, Books)

It can be useful to use Search’s other features, beyond just web search, especially when you want to find content that’s inherently visual. Suppose you want to find an example of how to lay out a resume to find a new job; you may want to explore Google Images for example resumes and web pages with useful job search information. Or, if you want to learn how to cook scallops like your favorite famous chef, you can search through Videos for step-by-step instructional content. Or, say you can’t remember what page a quote is on inside your favorite book. Google Books lets you search for key phrases or excerpts within books, down to the page and paragraph. Use double quotes around your phrase inside of Google Books to find where it’s located within the text.

Using these tips, hopefully you’ll shave some time off your next search.

How to be a safe and smart searcher

Several keywords will help to find better results.

Exact reference can help you find what you’re looking for.

If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type it between inverted commas (“”) and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something you’ve already seen but lost.

Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. These aren’t always helpful and are usually unnecessary.

Remove unwanted results by adding a minus symbol (-). For example, “Seagull-hotel-film” would leave out all references to hotels and films.

Check your spelling.

It’s a good idea to filter(过滤) your online searchers, especially when you are searching for pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filtering system. There are lots of filtering software options available.

Experiment with different search engines until you find the one that’s best for you. Some search engines personalize the results, so check out the option of using a search engine that doesn’t do this and you will get different results.

Reliability is very important when you search on the Internet.

Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Don’t make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.

【推荐1】 Every year on March 22, World Water Day focuses people’s attention on the importance of water across the world. In 2018, the theme is “Nature for Water”.

This year’s theme, “Nature for Water”, focuses on how nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used to help fix the water problems facing many people and ecosystems (生态系统) at the present time. Nature-based solutions are ways of managing plants, soils and wetlands, including rivers and lakes, to help with the management of water availability and quality. They will not solve the problem of drought (干旱) but should provide effective ways for improving water quality and increasing water supplies.

Anything that includes positively altering nature is an NBS.

●Bringing back forests, grasslands and natural wetlands

By bringing back natural ecosystems, we can help to rebalance water levels around the world, benefitting both humans and ecosystems;

●Connecting rivers to floodplains again

If properly managed, natural floodplains can provide help to wildlife, fish and people by giving them both space and clean water;

●Building sand dams

In very dry areas, such as Zimbabwe, sand dams are used to increase the amount of water that can be stored, meaning that farmers can grow more crops and people can have enough drinking water;

Excessive logging (过度砍伐) in Alwar, India, has caused extremely serious droughts. The government has focused on the regeneration of forests and soils, which has not only helped the rivers to refill but also wildlife, such as antelopes and leopards, to return to the area.

1. What can we learn about the nature-based solutions?

2. The underlined word “altering” is closest in meaning to “________”.

3. Why is it important to bring back natural ecosystems?

4. This article is most likely a(n) ________.

【推荐2】 “Life’s a long, long journey.” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some ideas of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories(类别):

Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?

Family—What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members?

Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?

Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?

Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

To help make the process more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can be changed as time goes on. But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.

1. According to the passage why should we set goals?

2. What should you consider when you set a family goal?

3. What’s the best advice to achieve the main goal?

4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

【推荐3】 Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.

But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent（锲而不舍的）action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.

This is the famous formula（公式）for success: Dream>Believe>Achieve

Most people have what they want（Dream）and think they can realize their dreams（Believe）. And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.

I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:

For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action（Act）. If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles（障碍）in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

1. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?

2. Which does the writer add to the famous formula?

3. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream> Believe>Act>Achieve”?

4. What does the passage mainly tell us?

Shenzhen is well known for having a lot of different kinds of local birds as well as some visiting birds. Sometimes our city receives special and unexpected animal visitors, such as the lovely green magpie (鹊) from Southeast Asia.

The beautiful green bird, which is 35cm long, will take anyone’s breath away. The green magpie has a very loud call that will catch any wild animal’s attention quickly; however, its green color makes the bird quite difficult to be found, as it has perfectly the same color as the vegetation (植被) around it. In fact, this lovely bird has a lot of different color types that go from being totally blue to having a yellow belly (腹部) and a green back.

Green magpies are known for being social birds, usually flying together in a large number. Male and female green magpies also like to build their home together. The female bird will lay up to four eggs each time and it usually lasts three weeks before baby magpies come out of the eggs. These beautiful birds feed on almost any animal they can find and that they can eat, including insects, frogs, and even snakes.

It is quite unbelievable to have these amazing creatures visiting Shenzhen since this kind of bird is not a bird that will always come here. So it is lucky to have them around and enjoy the new visitors to our city. If we continue protecting Shenzhen’s green areas, it is very likely that in the near future we may have even more kinds of animals not only passing by, but staying among us forever.

Перевод текста на русский язык из учебника по английскому языку Spotlight 9 класс Ваулина Ю. Е.

In search of Nessie and other mysterious monsters
We’ve all heard well-known stories ot ancient mythical creatures such as dragons, unicorns and giants, but to this day. people all over the world continue to report sightings ot various mysterious monsters! So. we asked our readers to tell us about any creatures like these from their country.

A
‘Hi, I’m Kevin from Inverness, Scotland! I’m sure you’ve all heard of our famous Loch Ness Monster, with its humped back, long tail and snake-like head. But you probably didn’t know that people have been reporting sightings of this strange monster since the 6th century! The first modern sighting was in 1933 when a couple who were driving home saw a creature rolling and diving in the lake. Since then there have been over a thousand recorded sightings and even some photos taken of Nessie. Some people believe that Nessie is a dinosaur called a plesiosaur that somehow survived in Loch Ness but the truth is still a mystery.

B
I’m Jens from Norway and we have the legend of the Kraken, a horrifying deep-sea monster that was a mile and a half across. As ships approached, fhe Kraken would wrap its giant tentacles around them or create a violent whirlpool to pull them down to the bottom of the ocean. The Kraken are a species of giant squid. In 2007, Fishermen caught a ten-metre long squid with eyes the size of dinner plates and Sharp hooks on some of its tentacles off the coast of Antarctica. There’s no doubt that giant squid exist, but exactly how big they can grow to and whether they have destroyed ships still remains a mystery.

C
I’m Mary from Oregon, USA. As you probably already know, a strange-looking big hairy creature called Bigfoot (or Sasquatchl has been part ot American folklore for years. Since the 1800s, there have been more than 3,000 sightings of Bigfoot, who most witnesses describe as being a two-legged creature two to three metres tall that has long arms and a short neck. Investigators say there’s no way that its footprints, at around 40cm long, could be human prints! Some scientists believe that Bigfoot could be a species of extinct ape, but unfortunately so far no one has found a Bigfoot body, fossil or skeleton.

Перевод текста:
В поисках Лох-несского чудовища и других таинственных монстров

В
Я Йенс из Норвегии и у нас есть легенда о Кракене, ужасающего глубоководного монстра, который был с версту в поперечнике. Когда суда подплывали, Кракен мог обернуть их гигантскими щупальцами или создать сильный водоворот, чтобы утащить их на дно океана. Кракен является одним из видов гигантских кальмаров. В 2007 году рыбаки выловили у берегов Антарктиды десяти-метрового кальмара с глазами размером с тарелку и острыми крючками на некоторых своих щупальцах. Нет сомнений, что гигантские кальмары существуют, а именно насколько они могут вырасти и уничтожали ли они суда до сих пор остается загадкой.

С
Я Мария из штата Орегон, США. Как вы, наверное, уже знаете, что странное большое волосатое существо, которое называют снежным человеком, было частью американского фольклора в течение многих лет. С 1800-х годов, было более 3000 упоминаний снежного человека. Некоторые свидетели описывают его как двуногое существо 3 метра в высоту, который имеет длинные руки и короткую шею. Следователи говорят, что это не так, что его следы, около 40 см, могут быть человеческими отпечатками! Некоторые ученые полагают, что снежный человек может быть одним из видов вымерших обезьян, но к сожалению до сих пор никто не нашел тело снежного человека, или ископаемого скелета.
