Question

【題目】 根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds-as short as the blink 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, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.

Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. 【2】 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 ,then people will visit it less often. 【3】 Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same.
