Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station？ If a home catches on fire,as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt…or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things?The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community, We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary, We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals?
Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

【推荐1】You must have heard and watched the famous TV show Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves. Unlike other youth idol talent shows, this TV show invited thirty female artists who were born before 1990 to live together and compete with each other as well. These years, they are not as popular as those youth idols. However, since it was shown on the screen, it has won hundreds of millions of fans, flowers and compliments (赞美). But there are also negative (负面的) attention, and those brave sisters are ready to face whatever it comes ahead the roads.
There are hundreds of TV shows in China nowadays, and do you know why it is much more popular than the others? As for me, I do like some of those brave sisters. 
. Ning Jing was born in 1972, and many artists or actresses in her age normally have been out of public attention. But she didn’t think so, and she worked so hard to make her dream come true. She has been one of the Final Seven in the end. Another sister Zhang Yuqi, a thirty-three-year-old actress is also among the Final Seven. In my heart, she is always one of the best sisters. This beautiful direct and warmhearted sister is always ready and brave enough to face the challenges and negative attention.
On talking about the great performances about this TV show, there are too many to talk about, such as Da Wan Kuan Mian, Gentlewoman, Running to yow with all I have … Just like the lyrics (歌词)in the song Da Wan Kan Mian, “Don't say no to yourself easily, you have your world, no one can define you, happiness is the true meaning.” I think they are the voice of those sisters' hearts.
For people who are over thirty or even forty years old, sometimes there will be no more dreams. However, Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves tells us whenever it is, we can always be brave and ride winds and waves to be the best of ourselves.

【推荐2】Smartphone apps certainly make our lives easier. However, sometimes they can also cause problems.
Many school teachers in China depend on apps to give homework. The kids have to do their homework looking at a phone screen.
For example, Liu Yanming, a sixth-grade student in Shanghai, usually has to use his mother’s mobile phone to do his homework. The homework is handwritten, photographed and then posted by his teacher to a parent-teacher group on WeChat.
Liu Yong, his father, is afraid that the apps could encourage kids to watch something that has nothing to do with the homework. “He is just 12 years old, and I do not want to buy him a cellphone,” Liu told China Daily. “I also worry that my son’s eyesight will get worse because of staring at the phone for too long.”
However, Bai Yueping, president of Shanghai Tangzhen Middle School, agreed to use apps for homework. “Parents can understand their kids’ learning situation and tell them to finish the homework on time,” Bai told Xinmin Evening News.
Zhang Siqi, a student from Renmin University of China, has a similar opinion to Bai. “It’s convenient to give homework by using WeChat or QQ,” Zhang said. “We’re living in an Internet era (时代). It’s not wise to refuse to take advantage of technology.
Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, believed that it is impossible to ban (禁止) the use of electronic products in the Internet era. However, students should use them when it’s necessary, such as when they do listening exercises, “We don’t want to ban online education models, but they must be used carefully. Modern technologies are good, but they should be used in schools under control,” he told China Daily.

【推荐3】How do you feel about your looks? Is it important to have a beautiful face? Are there other things that can make a person special? The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look-our own face.
Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or strange. But our differences are what make us special.
I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. He was born with a strange-looking face. His mother always worried that he would face many difficulties in life. But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little. Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him. But he didn't care at all. He decided to accept his face and feel confident (自信的) in himself. He has made a decision to live an amazing life.
It's hard when you feel like you don't look "normal" or "perfect". But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.
根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）。1. According to the writer, all of us look a little different.
2. The writer recently watched a speech by Robert Hoge's mother.
3. Hoge's mother used to worry that he would face many difficulties in life.
4. When strangers made fun of him, Hoge lost his confidence.
5. The writer tries to tell us that we are special no matter what we look like.

【推荐2】Once upon a time, there was a businessman who owed(欠债) a lot of money to a noble(贵族). The noble said he would forget about the money if he could marry the businessman's daughter. The businessman didn't want his daughter to marry the noble, but he was too poor to pay back.

If she picks the black one, she will become my wife and you won't need to pay me back. If she picks the white one, she needn't marry me.

The changes in our lives using 5G（使用5G给我们生活带来的变化）
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. This means that China’s telecom companies were soon 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 and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?
5G has a very short delay 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+ transportation
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 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 could water your plants by itself.

| D．5G delayed between sending and receiving information. |
