【推荐1】If you look at the top of your phone, you’ll usually see a small symbol that shows 3G or 4G. The “G” means the “generation ( 代 )” of your mobile network. But they will become history after 5G network fully arrives.

In recent years, China makes great achievement in 5G network. Now it’s making efforts to popularize the business use of 5G. Shanghai is the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. On March 30, 2019, Wu Qing, one of the leaders of Shanghai, made the first 5G video call with Huawei Mate Smartphone.

5G allows people download and upload data faster than ever before. It is 100 times faster than 4G mobile network. But 5G doesn’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well. For example, 5G can make self­driving cars safer.

Today’s self­driving cars have one problem—time lag (滞后). When a self­driving car “sees” an obstacle (障碍物), it sends this information to data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to do that. That’s the time lag. With this kind of lag, the car might have an accident because it doesn’t receive instructions in time. But with 5G, the self­driving car can receive instructions more quickly.

5G can also be used to power the Internet of Things (IOT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. For example, with IOT, your smart fridge could order eggs online when it notices that there are no eggs left inside.

【推荐3】You and I can tell one face from another, but can computers do the same with few mistakes? At an earlier time, many people thought it was impossible, but now, the development of technology has made it come true.

New technology like facial recognition (脸部识别) technology helps to make our lives better and more convenient in many ways. People can easily come into their office buildings and check e-mails by using it. It can also help the police to find missing kids and bad people by sending the pictures taken from video cameras on the streets to the facial recognition system. More and more shoppers use their e-wallets with the new technology to pay for things they buy in the shopping malls and many kinds of stores.

In the fall of 2017, Apple even used this technology to open the smart-phone in no more than one second. However, what is facial recognition technology and how does the system make it?

First, facial recognition technology checks the space between eyes, the eye color, the ear size and the lip thickness. Then the system makes a record of your face and saves it in the database (数据库). That is to say, if you want to get the right to go into some places or to do something, you just look at the camera and let your picture run through the database.

Once the system checks your face and finds that it is correct, you can then get the right to go into the places or to do something.

However, is there any way to fool the facial recognition system? The answer is yes. Although it is an amazing technology, it sometimes doesn’t work. The following are some examples.

1. What can we know about facial recognition technology from Paragraph 2?

A．It helps us a lot in our lives.	B．It helps us go anywhere fast.
