Halfa minute? A few seconds? Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds—as short as theblink of an eye—is too long for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, butit does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. "Without question, nobody likes towait," said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer, "Every millisecond matters."Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending outinformation. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant suggestions,you can get digital "traffic jams". Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, people will visit itless often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest. Google said people doexpect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same.For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result. Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes itdifficult for video websites to choose between the quality ofpictures and fast loading times.Trying to get a higher speed has always been part.of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, whenthe World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the"World Wide Wait". But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables(光缆) for sending in high-speed; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; allthis increasedspeed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google andMicrosoft'sBing usually find search results in less than a second. However, in order to meet therequirementof Internet users, these tycoons should never stop their steps.26. Which ofthe following statements is true according to the passage?A. The quality ofpictures comes first for video websites.B. Google is 250 milliseconds slower than other websites.C. Microsoft's Bing is the fastest engine in the world now.D. People are more likely to wait for loading films than maps.27. The report from The New York Times suggests that.A. a millisecond is one thousandth ofa secondB. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet usersC. a millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speedD. a millisecond really makes a difference to Internet users28. The engineers did something to improve the speed, including.①CD making software work more smoothly② laying a number of fiber optic cables inside③ placing computer servers throughout the world④ developing the quality of pictures on the InternetA.①②③B.②③④C.①③④D.①②④29.
