"The grass looksgreener on the other side of the fence." That's an old1in English. It means other places oftenlook better, more interesting than the place in2you live. Some people worry3young Chinese are beginning to feelthat way.
They see youngChinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and,4, buying Japanese cartoon books,watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreignbooks and soap operas are good,5 Chinese writers and actors are just as good.As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can6have the meaning for Chinese thatSpring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumnFestival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:7 friendliness. Not all countries are as8 as China.

5G is becoming more and more popular these days. The first 5G video call was made on a Huawei Mate X phone on March 30, 2019, CGTN reported.
Shanghai is the first city in China to start a test run of 5G networks. About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will allow people to download and upload(上传) things faster than ever. Self-driving cars may be one of the biggest changes. When the car sees an obstacle(障碍), it sends this information to a data center and waits for instructions. 5G networks will reduce the time it takes and make the cars safer, CNN noted.
This refers to a much larger online network that connects everything and everyone. Very fast Internet speeds are the key to realizing it. For example, with IoT, your fridge could order eggs online when it notices that there are no eggs left inside. Meanwhile, China's first 5G police station was recently shown in Bao'an district in Shenzhen. China Mobile Communication Corporation(CMCC) made Xiamen's first 5G video call on April 27, 2019, bringing the city into the time of 5G.
A. It will also be used in other fields.
B. Today's self-driving cars have one problem — lag.
C. China is racing to build a nationwide 5G network.
D. The car will crash if it doesn't receive instructions in time.
E. It has improved a lot because of modern technology.
F. 5G could also power the Internet of Things(IoT).

Helen has always been interested in helping her community. Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school.
When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.
She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.
After a strong storm destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care center.
One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees(难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sarah, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Helen gave Sarah a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sarah questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sarah learn many new words about her everyday life.
Helen says, "The real value of volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help, They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs."
The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating waste water is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of waste water around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the waste water. While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is freshwater- that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
