　　The Internet is a big place and has lots of different kinds of information．Nobody has enough time to find something on the Internet．Yahoo gives us a lot of help．

　　Two Stanford University students Jerry Yang and David Filo started it in 1994．They made a list of their favorite web pages．When their list got bigger, they made a database(數(shù)據(jù)庫)to keep a lot of information．They let everyone use it for free．Soon, thousands of people were using it．

　　Then they made a new kind of software(軟件)．It could store much more information, and people can find information by using it．If you look for “animals”, it will give you a list of web pages with the word．

　　Yahoo became a public company in 1996．As the company grew, Yang and Filo went on working hard．They put more uses in the software, such as shopping and free e-mails．They started Yahoo in many different countries and in different languages．

Yahoo is famous on the Internet．It really makes money unlike(不像…)most other web companies．
