World Wide Web Tasha and her family use their computer every day for all kinds of things, like writing letters and making pictures and charts. But Tashds favourite thing is exploring the Internet. She knows that the World Wide Web is a place where people can see cartoons, hear music, read the news, visit libraries and museums, get useful information, and even look out the window of a space shuttle.

塔莎和她的家人每天都用电脑做各种各样的事情，比如写信、制作图片和图表。 但塔什最喜欢的事情是上网。 她知道万维网是一个人们可以看动画片、听音乐、读新闻、参观图书馆和博物馆、获取有用信息，甚至可以从航天飞机的窗户向外看的地方。

The World Wide Web is like a huge library. It is full of information about almost anything you can think of. You can find out about things that happened yesterday, or last month, or even thousands of years ago. There is information about people, places, sports, animals, machines, and all kinds of other things. All the information is on web pages or websites. The Internet connects computers all over the world like a giant spider's web.

万维网就像一个巨大的图书馆。 它充满了你能想到的几乎所有的信息。 你可以找到昨天、上个月、甚至几千年前发生的事情。 有关于人、地点、运动、动物、机器和各种其他事物的信息。 所有的信息都在网页或网站上。 互联网像一张巨大的蜘蛛网一样把世界各地的计算机连接起来。

Search engine If Tasha wants information about the planets, she uses the Internet to help her. She starts with a search engine. Almost anything on the Internet can be found with the help of a search engine. Tasha types the keyword planets into the window of the search engine. Then she moves the cursor onto the Go or the Search button, and she clicks on the mouse.

搜索引擎如果塔莎想要关于行星的信息，她会利用互联网来帮助她。 她从搜索引擎开始。 在搜索引擎的帮助下，几乎可以在互联网上找到任何东西。 塔莎在搜索引擎的窗口输入关键字行星。 然后她将光标移动到Go或Search按钮上，并单击鼠标。

Surfing the net In a few seconds, the screen shows a list of thousands of different websites about planets. Tasha clicks on a website that looks interesting. She reads about the earth, the moon, and Mars. Then she clicks on the Back button to go back to the list to choose another website. Tasha goes from one site to another. She is surfing the net.

上网几秒钟后，屏幕上就会显示出数千个关于行星的不同网站。 塔莎点击了一个看起来很有趣的网站。 她读关于地球、月球和火星的书。 然后她点击后退按钮回到列表选择另一个网站。 塔莎从一个地方到另一个地方。 她正在上网。

Favourites Tasha sees pictures of the planets on the Internet. She finds out which one is the smallest and which one is the largest. She watches a video of a space shuttle landing back on earth, and she even hears the voice of an astronaut. Tasha finds a lot of interesting information on a website about Mars. She thinks that she might want to learn more about Mars later, so she clicks on the Favourites button. Then she clicks on Add and saves the Mars website in the Favourites box. Now she can find it easily whenever she wants to look at it again.

塔莎在网上看到了行星的照片。 她找出哪个是最小的，哪个是最大的。 她看了一段航天飞机返回地球的视频，她甚至听到了宇航员的声音。 塔莎在一个关于火星的网站上发现了很多有趣的信息。 她认为她以后可能想了解更多关于火星的信息，所以她点击了收藏按钮。 然后她点击“添加”，将Mars网站保存在“收藏夹”框中。 现在，只要她想再看一遍，就能很容易地找到它。
