Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation（代）of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.

China just issued commercial licenses（发放商用牌照）for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.

Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data（数据）and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?

5G has a very short delay（延迟） between sending and receiving information.

Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds（毫秒）to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less—this is almost real-time.

This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.

5G + entertainment（娱乐）

5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.

Also, virtual reality（VR）games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

5G + transport

5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals（信号）to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors（传感器）. 5G will allow cars to react（反应）even faster than human drivers.

5G + smart homes

5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.

For example, your toaster can automatically（自动地）start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler（洒水器）could water your plants by itself.

27. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the third paragraph?

A．To explain 5G is the best of all.

Confidence（自信）is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude（态度）. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:

Speak loudly. When you are not confident，you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can understand you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.

Play sports. Playing sports makes you tired but completely relaxed. When you do sports，you will be full of confidence.

Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day and see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everyone laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.

Get rid of（消除）fear. Fear comes along with failure（失败）. But it's easy to get over（克服）if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.
