　　Thanks to Google, millions of Internet users are now swimming effortlessly in the information ocean. Internet users knows that Google is a strong search engine that is designed to bring tons of information within their reach. Yet, few 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 Blachman 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 hyphen – this 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 cowboys”, who does not want the football team, should enter “Dallas cowboys-football.”
　　Blachman says the website is her way of continuing teaching and helping people, which she enjoys. 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 Blachman 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 of the passage about Blachman?
　　A. She has been working to make Google easier to use.
　　B. She learned about Google from a guidebook.
　　C. She tries to persuade people to work for Google.
