阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

“So what is Quintura?” you may ask. “I like the search engine I currently use,

My Favorite Search Engine. Why do I need anything else? My Favorite Search Engine knows

everything about every subject I am interested in and I can access all of the information

available on the Web with My Favorite Search Engine.”

“Oh, yes!” we answer. “Indeed! We have no doubt that you have chosen the best search

engine for your own search purposes! We don’t want you to part with your favorite

─ Yahoo, MSN or Google.”

However, what if you think about searching in a different way. Have you ever raked

through the paper card index of a big library? You have to find the necessary letter

(or their combination), take the correct drawer, and start sorting through the cards.

Ring any bells? After much time and effort, finally you find the long-awaited card!

Of course web search engines take away the laborious task of sifting (筛选) through

paper index cards. And if you know the book’s exact author and title, either search

is easy ─ on the web or in a library. But what if you know only your general search

scope? Neither the author’s name nor the book title. In a library, the only way out

is to ask a librarian. But on the web, what do you do? You are on your own.

Until now, Quintura is the very know-all librarian!

Imagine a conversation between you and the search engine you use most often, My Favorite

Search Engine (MFSE).

You: I need some books on physics.

MFSE: No problem. We have a lot of good literature.

You: Oh. . . so many of them! - 2 - MFSE: You asked for books on physics, here, I’ve found some more.

You: No, I need only one branch of physics.

MFSE: But I have all the branches! Thousands of books. Choose whatever you want.

You: But I need the branch on solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on.

MFSE: Here they are. Books on physics. . .

Now imagine beginning the same conversation with Quintura (Qu).

You: I need some books on physics.

Qu: OK! We have a lot of good literature; what branch of physics do you need?

You: Branch? I’m not sure of its name.

Qu: What is your branch about?

You: Solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on.

Qu: Let’s see. Here is mechanics! Please note this list of books, our visitors mostly

ask for these books on mechanics.

You: Thank you.

Fear plays no part in this latest problem.“I’m not afraid I'll lose my children.I

won't lose my children. We live together, and nothing, nothing,” she repeats, her

voice rising when speaking to John's lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children.

A law? Year, right. Don't disturb me when it comes to my children. You are never going

to win. If John wants to see them, I cannot stop him. He's their father—I want them

to see him! However, his visit in his present condition will disturb the children's

stable (稳定的) life.” - 4 - John, who has spent much of his time in California recently, has only hired a house

for himself in Pennsylvania, according to his lawyer. "If he'd like to stick to a regular

life, I'd be more than happy to do that," Jane says. "The best thing for any child

of a divorced (离婚的) parent is a stable life. I want nothing more than for him to

set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our children's lives

more stable. "

While matters of money and care won't be settled for weeks, Jane hardly puts her

life on hold. Last week the ABC network announced that Jane would return with her own

show, Twist of Jane, in which she gives advice to other moms.Jane and her eight children
