    The University of British Columbia has built Canada's first 5G-powered smart campus, according to The Star, a Canadian newspaper. The 3 worked with a tech company to build a 5G network across the campus. So4 researchers can use the network to make a test for the teachings.

    At Staffordshire University in the UK, many students enjoy talking to Beacon and asking it questions. Beacon is a chatting 5 that was made by the university. It is like a personal assistant for students. They can ask it questions, such as6 one of their classes is canceled.

    Amazon also has smart campus products. Alexa, the company's voice-activated (声控的) smart assistant, 7  be used to help teachers 8 their classes more efficiently. For example, Alexa can remember what the teachers 9 , such as how bright the lights should be, and what color of 10 are often used.

    5G-tech has played an important role in realizing the smart campuses, without 5G, 11 of these can happen. Positive changes not only happen in school campuses, 12  in ways of teaching. 5G-tech also makes it easier for 13 -distance learning to realize. That means students will be able to stay at home and take the on-line classes 14any lags(延迟). It is really useful 15 when students are not available to get out of their homes.

    Different types of maps have different uses. Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.

    Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

    Distribution maps (分布图) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or if a place is short of water.

    Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don't have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

    It snowed again. My seventh Christmas was around the corner. I dreamed of getting the present from Santa

    Claus until my elder sister told me: "There is no Santa Claus."

    I ran to my grandmother's house, for she always told the truth. My grandmother was at home. I told her everything.

    "No Santa Claus?" she said, "Ridiculous! I don't believe it. Put on your coat and let's go."

    As we walked through the doors of the general store, my grandma handed me 10 dollars and said: "Buy something for someone who needs it."

    I just stood there, thinking about what to buy and who to buy it for.

    I thought of everybody I knew. Then I thought about Bobbie Decker. He didn't have a coat. He never went out to play games in winter. I would buy him one.

    That evening, my grandma helped me wrap the coat and write, "To Bobbie, from Santa Claus" on it. Then she drove me over to his house.

    My grandma parked down the street, and we hid behind the trees near Bobbie's house. Then she said: "All right, Santa Claus is coming."

    I rushed for Bobbie's front door, and put down the present outside his door. I rang his doorbell and then flew back to the trees. We waited breathlessly in the dark for the front door to open. Finally it did and there stood Bobbie. That night, I realized Santa Claus was alive and well, and we were on his team.

    With more than 90 million vlogs available online, and 2,000 posted every hour on the YouTube video-sharing site, CBS News says they are popular with people born after 1995. Vlogging has taken China by storm over the past year as more young Chinese people have become inspired to grab a camera and recount the details of their day on Sina Weibo, Bilibili or WeChat Moments.

    "The most important thing about vlogging is to tell a good story. Other visual(视觉的) effects are auxiliary(辅助的)," wrote US vlogger Casey Neista, who has almost 10 million subscribers on YouTube. Chinese vlogger Wang Xiaoguang is an example of a good storyteller. In one of his popular vlog posts, Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan. While there, he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost. Worse, he forgot to bring a phone charger. Luckily he was able to borrow money from a stranger and escape trouble. His short but fun video stories have gained an amazing 1.72 million followers on Sina Weibo.

    Another key aspect(方面) of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life, according to Ouyang Nana,

    18, a young Chinese musician. Studying in the US at Berklee College of Music, she documents the life of a college student. Ordinary as the vlogs are, as many as 15 million fans share her wows and woes on a daily basis. Some other popular vloggers choose to show their careers(职业) – the challenges and setbacks, as well as the rewarding moments. Take a look at the vlogs by Peng Yixuan, a news reporter with China Daily. She recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the two sessions (两会) in March of this year. From choosing an outfit to preparing her story, she presented the important event with a relaxed, chatty and personal approach, "bringing more warmth" to the political event, according to People's Daily.

    There are popular vlogs for beauty, gaming, fashion, food and travel. Famous vloggers come from all walks of life, so what are you waiting for? Grab a camera!

    It's a popular belief that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been, and they don't recognize you or any of their friends – every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A recent study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think. In fact, certain species(种类) of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.

    In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers used computer software to monitor(监视) the fish's movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.

    In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights.

    Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive(生存) in the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.

    For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence. So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them – they may remember who you are.

    What would you do if you felt anxious(焦虑的)? Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences with you? In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called "Healing(治愈)Hearts" to help people deal with anxiety.

    The idea of creating the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. Both girls suffered from anxiety.

    Dinah Martinez always did well in school. "But then I just started to collapse(崩溃)," DinahMartinez said.

    She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home.

    Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. "It was a lot of pressure I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing," she said.

    The girls' camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them $ 5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.

    The "Healing Hearts" camp was created to "help deal with anxiety, especially with girls in high school because that's when they are the most vulnerable(脆弱的)", Janet Martinez said.

    On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing.

    "It's good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out," Dinah Martinez said.

    At one time, making a movie was an expensive activity only for a small group of people and film companies. Not only were the tools and machines expensive but the cost of the film was also greater than most people can   (买得起). However, modern technology has (改变) all that.

    New technology has really opened up the world of film-making for film fans. Now a camera does not  (花费) much and most young people are (能) to pay for it. So all you need is to get one for yourself.

    However, film-making is team work. You need many other people to help you. For example, the performance of actors and actresses is very ( 重 要 的 ) in your film. Of course, these actors and actresses may be your schoolmates, friends or your family (成员).

    (此外), you need to make up a story. Can you write your own one? If you have good imagination, you can  (创造) a good story easily. Many world-famous film makers are also good story-writers. If not,  (也许) you need someone else to write it for you. An excellent story is the  (关键) to making a successful movie.

    Once upon a time, there was a little candle standing with other candles in a room. Most of other candles were much  (beautiful) than her. Some were white, blue, pink, and some were green. She had no  (idea) why she was there, and the other candles there made her feel rather small.

    When the sun went down and the room began to get dark, she saw a man  (walk) to her with a box of matches. She suddenly realized that the man was going to set her on fire. "No, no!" she cried," Don't burn me, please!" But she knew that she couldn't  (hear), so she became the first candle  was burnt.

    Then to her surprise, the room was filled   light. She wondered   it came from, because the man had extinguished(熄灭) his fire stick. Then she realized that the light came from  (she). It made her very happy.

    Then the man struck another match and, one by one, he lighted the other candles in the room. Each one gave out the same light.

    Over the next few (hour), the little candle noticed that her wax(蜡) was beginning to flow slowly.

    She knew that she would soon die, and suddenly why she had been created. "My purpose on the earth is to give out light until I die," she said. And that's   (exact) what she did.
